MISAL | Short Film | A Seamedu Original | Written & Directed by Pranav Kulkarni

MISAL | Indian Situational Comedy Short Film | Pre-UPI Era It’s 2010. No UPI. No Google Pay. No net banking backup. A Sunday morning in Pune. A man arrives from Mumbai in a cab. His wallet is missing. His phone is dead. There’s no way to charge his premium smartphone. The cab driver is waiting for payment. And his train leaves soon. MISAL is an Indian situational comedy short film set in the pre-digital payment era — where one small crisis becomes a ticking-clock survival moment. In today’s world of QR codes and instant transfers, we forget how vulnerable things once felt. This short film captures the social pressure, embarrassment, and rising panic of being stuck in public with no money and no options. Blending suspense and situational comedy, MISAL explores how quickly dignity, trust, and urgency collide when technology isn’t there to rescue you. 💬 What would YOU do in this situation?
