Mumbai (Anil Bedag): After spending more than two decades building a distinguished career in entertainment journalism, senior journalist Neeru Sharma is embarking on a new creative journey. Having reported extensively on the Hindi film and television industry, she has now stepped behind the camera to tell her own story. Her debut short film, ‘Bandra Boy’, marks the beginning of this new chapter and is set to be showcased at various film festivals in India and abroad.
Having worked with renowned media organizations such as Aaj Tak, News 24, E-24, and Sahara India, Neeru Sharma has closely observed and understood the entertainment world over the years. Drawing from this rich experience, she has crafted a story that explores the conflict between public perception, the role of the media, and the truth.
Written, produced, and directed by Neeru Sharma herself, the 21-minute thriller is much more than a suspenseful narrative. ‘Bandra Boy’ offers a sharp commentary on a social tendency that has become increasingly common—forming opinions about people based on headlines, rumors, and incomplete information. Through her very first film, Neeru Sharma raises a powerful question: Have we started passing judgment before knowing the truth?
