Thursday Special
The debut teaser of the globally acclaimed short film Thursday Special was unveiled on Tuesday, marking the coming together of filmmakers Shoojit Sircar and Vikramaditya Motwane as presenters. Directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Varun Tandon, Thursday Special is headlined by seasoned actors Anubha Fatehpuria and Ramakanth Dayama.
Billed as a tender exploration of love, companionship, and change, Thursday Special will be released on January 29 on the Humans of Cinema channel on YouTube after having already built a strong reputation on the international festival circuit. Sircar and Motwane’s decision to come on board as presenters, the filmmakers said, is rooted in a shared belief that short films remain a critical entry point — and sometimes an end goal — for contemporary filmmakers navigating an increasingly expensive industry.
