Friday, 24 May 2024 | PNS | INDORE

In today's world, the rise in depression and mental health issues among young people remains a critical yet often overlooked topic.

To address these pressing issues and raise societal awareness, students from the Mass Communication Department of the Prestige Institute of Management and Research (PIMR) have produced a short film titled "Mental Asylum." The film poignantly addresses various mental health issues prevalent today, presenting the causes, symptoms, and effects uniquely and engagingly.

The story of "Mental Asylum" revolves around a psychiatrist working in a mental asylum where two new patients are admitted. Following their arrival, mysterious and strange events begin to unfold, putting the psychiatrist's life at risk on several occasions.

As the tension escalates, these events become deeply intertwined with her past, culminating in a shocking revelation that few were aware of.

The suspenseful thriller features second-year students from the Department of Mass Communication, including Kanan Sirwani, Varun Tulsyan, Navika Awasthi, Ishita Jain, and Tanishk Chauhan. Directed by Aayush Lakhani, the film's production was handled by Govind Thakur, Avni Mandot, Anushka Agarwal, Devanshi Jhuveri, and Siddhi Dave. The screenplay was crafted by Aparna Shukla and Aayush Lakhani.

Released on Prestige Media's YouTube channel, "Mental Asylum" has received critical acclaim from viewers and has been praised for its bold initiative in addressing the sensitive issue of mental health and depression among the younger generation.

Davish Jain, Chairman of Prestige Education Foundation and Chancellor of Prestige University, congratulated the students for creating a short film on such a sensitive and important issue.

He said, "Mental Asylum is a testament to the talent and dedication of the students of the Prestige Institute of Management, who have addressed significant social issues through creative expression. This film not only raises awareness about mental health and depression but also showcases the practical skills and artistic capabilities of the students involved."
