The Shortlist

“When doubt is loud, hope speaks softly.”

Directed by Hruhsikesh Talankar

As summer internship placements approach, an MBA student finds himself overwhelmed by rejection, uncertainty, and the pressure of expectations. What begins as another stressful day on campus turns into a heartfelt conversation that challenges his fears and reshapes the way he sees failure, ambition, and success. Set against the backdrop of campus life, the film explores the emotional journey behind every shortlist and reminds us that sometimes all it takes is one opportunity.
