- A man tries to boost his confidence.
GROUP C is used with permission from Imran J. Khan. Learn more at / imranjkhan and / kunal_d .
Naveen is a shy, unassertive family man. He has a loving home life, but he often finds himself bulldozed at work. After one particularly pointed public humiliation, a sympathetic client tells Naveen about a support group aimed at boosting the confidence of people like him. Reluctant to explore at first, Naveen eventually decides to seek the group out.
He discovers the group is exactly what he needs, tapping into his "inner child" with unconventional preschool activities that heal his shyness and inability to assert himself. His membership in the group improves his real life and his standing at work, but when Naveen tries to move on from the group, he discovers that the group isn't as fun and benevolent as it seems.
Directed by Imran J. Khan from a script written by Kunal Dudheker, who also plays lead character Naveen, this smart, intriguing short comedy-thriller deftly blends tones and genres in a story about a meek man seeking more confidence and stumbling into a situation darker than he ever imagined. The storytelling is whimsical and sympathetic at the start, building up Naveen's character and milieu: he's essentially a milquetoast of a man who can't stand up or assert himself, and he tends to vomit when he gets anxious. The writing deftly captures those moments when Naveen feels most small and helpless in the face of more aggressive people and institutions.
The pivot in both tone and narrative comes when Naveen gets a hint at a solution to his problems, and he enters the world of "Group C," the mysterious support group for people like him. Group C is fascinatingly weird and childish, and the storytelling has fun with the group's exercises, which resemble a crazy preschool, though there's also the sense of a creepy, cult-like atmosphere pulling Naveen in. Yet viewers can also see how this "safe space" allows its members to act with a certain degree of freedom and abandon that doesn't often have expression in adult life.
By giving him a space free of repression to explore his feelings, Naveen has more energy and confidence, which he carries into his real life. He speaks up at work; he pitches more ideas; he seems happier at home. With life on the upswing, he believes he doesn't need Group C anymore. But Group C thinks otherwise, leading the film into its final suspenseful section, as Naveen realizes there's more to the group than just grown-up fun and games.
Entertaining, compelling and delightfully unhinged at times, GROUP C is an ambitious short in its high-wire juggling act, packing in observational humor, dark satire and unsettling suspense. But it's all held together by dynamic camerawork and confident writing, as well as an excellent performance by Dudheker, who never loses his character's innate decency or sympathy, even as Naveen gains confidence. It's that confidence that will help him take on the sinister nefariousness he faces when he tries to leave the group -- the ultimate test of his challenge, and a portal to his next stage of self-development. - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน

Sure, this was exactly the pressure he needed to teach him to stand up for himself and get confidence and courage. But if after such treatment he stays in this group, he would prove he learned nothing. Because a strong person should not allow to treat himself like this. On the other hand, he was hooked up on the sense of belonging, it was the only group of people he felt comfortable with, he wanted to stay. Dilemma.
I agree. It felt like a cult.
Cults are great story telling elements, though.
The twist of it being a scam was sadly the most believable part of the whole thing
The scam was a part of it
@@honorus ha, its not a scam
Very clever - brilliantly written, acted and filmed. It raises more questions than it answers, and I suppose that's kind of the point ;) Whether Group B is promotion further into Ponzi scheme to extort cash or a genuine promotion of some kind is unimportant - the fact is, each of us are probably being played just like him, and whatever we think we know about our true purpose or fate is most likely never revealed to us in this form of existence. I loved it !! Mitch, Australia.
I liked this film. It had enough mystery to keep us engaged.
Although money was no longer discussed after he mustered up courage, I got the the impression that he didn't need to pay.
I always question my lifes purpose after these videos...
lol .. hope ur ok though
Same
I don't know how to feel about this... this film seems to have so much to take away from... Great work Imran, Kunal & team!
Thank you! 🙏🏽
So now I want to see group B!!
I want too, but it's been canceled in 86? They call it 'WRC' nowadays.
Without a doubt one of the best Omleto movies I have seen and arguably the most brilliant. I did not see the ending coming at all.
Absolutely brilliant, and highly disturbingly frightening, more than any more classic horror film.
I cannot help seeing this film as an allegory for despotism and dictatorship, like it is happening in many a large country around the Globe. Which makes it all the more scary.
Thank you for this masterpiece!
Imran and Kunal did a great job so did all of the acting performances
Thank you! 🙏🏽
@@imrank You're welcome 😁
@@imrankthank you and the others for sharing your creation with us!
Group C for Courage!
Group B for Bravery! 😬
I initially thought C for confidence, but courage works, too.
That “SAG rules” line had me dying!!!! 😂😂😂
PHENOMENAL.. it can’t end with this PLEASE we need more asap
One of the best movies ive seen 👏👏👏👏👏👏
This film is amazing!! Felt captivated from beginning to end, which was also just perfect! Loved the humor, the performances, the editing and the overall delivery of the theme! Such a great watch!
The wife didn’t even care
Dude, she was the most chill person in the entire video
@@laxshvrma more like neglectful and doesn’t care .. why would u not care about ur partner in that position .. that’s not chill .. that’s just not caring
Noticed
Indifferent ASFLIP 😂
I read into it that she would be supportive of him in that difficult time.
So good. The wife character with the earpods at the dinner table! .
Yesss I love this short!! Congrats Imran & the whole Group C team!!!
Clever. With a twist and a counter twist!
This can't end here! It was so amazing! I need to see what happens next!
Rarely do short films hold just as much weight literally as they do metaphorically. This is flawless execution.
Group C could be a metaphor for any group people run to for confidence and self esteem. Could be the corporate ladder, online groups, frats etc. but the film can also just be enjoyed at face value.
Inner child
I loved this! Thank you. Hugs
This was awesome 👌🏾
What the hell! This was SO good!! Loved ! 💙🌎 Enjoyed my morning Omeleto. (Always a little weirded right when I wake up...)
This was incredibly done! Absolutely loved the the look, the locations, the acting, the story… everything about it.
This seemed weird first but kept me drawn, and now a day later I am watching it all over again. :)
Wild ride and I liked it!
Fab film 💙💙💙
Loved it! Really well acted and directed!
Brilliant 🤩
Great short!
Very well done
Ok this is so good👏🏾👏🏾
Great Concept!
I love
Kunal
Loved this one!
Thank you. Great movie. The Yin and Yang. 🙏
Super appreciate the harp music - that was so brilliant
What a wildly inventive short film! I want a synopsis. 😊 I see great things in your future!
Nice set up by father and daughter!!!
This was well written.
My god , what will he have to go through to get to group A ? lollllll very entertaining ty.
I bet that it would be illegal. :-D
:) Sequel, please!
What happens in group B......
He finally found his courage to stand up for himself
How did this guy even get a job ?? Doesn't make sense
His dad is the business owner.
The dinner table scene actually started stressing me out a bit lol.
I don't stir pots, I BREAK THEM
Whoa!! This was so ....uh... horrible and magnificent at the same time!
Can you imagine the test for group A?
"You must burn down all of societal infrastructure to free yourself from--no wait! Don't do it!" *clap* *clap* *clap*
You have to run a group and actually succeed in getting the money. Bob has been stuck in group A for 15 years and failed the test once again. Bob's membership fees are now over 9 million.
Gregory will never be the same. It just isn’t possible
I don’t understand why they had to break him after he already had success? Otherwise very entertaining!
I think they threw him a curve ball ( with the money request) to test his new found confidence. And he faltered, until he didn’t. He passed the test. Life will always put challenges in our path, and we manage those tough times, but for those who lack self esteem/ confidence, they get stuck by the curve balls.
It probably doesn't count as success until he gets angry enough to stand up for himself.
Group C for CULT!!
15:01 is the very definition of cathartic
WOW!!!
The father of the content creator was in a different short story. He played the nurse who recorded and witnessed the suicide of a young lady. Death with dignity. John Ritter's son played the boyfriend of the young lady. I forget the name of the short story, but it's on this channel.
Am I the only one who wants to believe that group C had good intentions all along. anyway I think I'll believe that, it makes this all so wholesome 🥰 I'm so glad he passed
Where can I sign up for group C ?😭😭
🎉🎉🎉 MIKE BASH
Dude looks like Adam Sadler and Tony Hale had a kid.
Saw the ending coming a mile away. Which was a shame, because this is quite well made and the lead actor in fantastic in it. But I guess I am just a "seen it all" jaded Gen X type. :)
Uhum. Should just relax and go zen mode 😅
@@lavenheit Oh, if only I could. :) But I am too high strung for that.
@@TheComedyGeek 🫡 that can be an advantage.
so that's how that works...
Reminds me of the movie, The Game
Cult! Cult! Cult!
Ah yes the sea cucumber defense, very effective. All he needs now is a fish in his...
he's me. i am him.
Amazing, the plot was predictable tho, cause im sure most of us has been in his shoes.. still, amazing job❤
Member's only
Ace stuff. All the elements of filmmaking were on point. Ready for Group B!
Im waiting for season 2
That was strange!
Gregory is life
Eekkkk. It’s a funny uncomfortable feeling one gets at the mid way mark.
I never needed support groups and never will, especially after this short.
Some of these stories make you question everything that you’ve done in your life. Thank you? 😮☺️
Brilliant, this is how cults work!
Wait so is this just a weird form of group therapy?
If age regression cost money Id KMS 😂. “Pay now, only 999.99$ to regress, for up to an hour! (*if you don’t pay we’re gonna judge and make fun of you fr :3)”
Wife was indifferent ASFLIP 😂
Hi
Well he finally found his courage
So is this group are still charge for membership or not? Are they real paid actors in the end? This part is still haunted me fr 😫
This wouldn't work in the USA. We have 2A for a reason
If this is a proof of concept film I want the whole fricken movie!!!!!!!!! 🥰
ic
Great film! Ready for Group B1
Is this like Scientology where there are just more unexpected groups, or is it really as simple as "c is for courage"?
C for cientology
This got weird really fast, but a nice message 😅
Why was this a bit triggering 😅
Dude, there are literally groups like this who are free or like $20 USD an event. In EVERY city. It's a subset of kink. Weird as F to us normies but, meh, harmless.
And no BOBs. Sheesh.
Those people are on mushrooms that’s why they start being happy silly, outgoing, mushrooms, help mental health that’s what I see in this movie, but then it was just a hustle.
Funny.
