FTII students 'euphoric' about new role
FTII students will produce Indi-pop group, Euphoria’s next video from their latest album Mehfooz.

Pune: The final year students of the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), Pune refer to it as a final term project.

But it was literally Euphoria for some of them when popular Indi-pop band Euphoria left it to director Abhaya Sinha and his team from FTII to produce their next video from their latest album Mehfooz.

The video is not just for the institute's archives but will also go air on all mainstream music channels.

"They were not to convinced with the first idea that I had proposed. I came back to Pune and did my research and my fourth idea was finally accepted," Abhaya says.

Meanwhile the lead singer of Euphoria, Palash Sen is happy with the way things have turned out.

"When we were young we needed somebody’s hand to walk the road. But now we are in a position to help somebody else. They are going to be filmmakers of tomorrow," Palash Sen says.

The video is for the song Rab Jane and since the song is about leaving everything to God, the students have gone into minute details to picturise the lyrics.

The video's storyline weaves around children, middle-aged and old people praying, thanking and believing in God for almost everything in life. The band members are portrayed as angels who communicate the relationship between man and God.

"At the student level there are a lot of times when we work under a lot of constrain. They have already shot 13-14 music videos so they came here with a different mindset and here they saw the bare minimum. But now it's a mutual thing. We understand them and they us," Abhaya says.

Meanwhile, for the students of the Film Institute, it is an honour to make a music video for a band like Euphoria. But what makes them more proud is that the industry has again started to look at FTII for good quality talent.
