Arishadvargas: The negative characteristics that prevent man from achieving Moksha - A fundamental tenet of Kali Yuga
“ARISHADVARGA”, is a character – driven mystery thriller, about an aspiring actor doubling as an amateur gigolo, who opens a Pandora’s Box when he seeks out an anonymous client who rewards him with a surprise gift, “A murder and a witness to his crime.” He now has to kill his witness to get out of it scot free.
It is a tale of lust, anger, love, greed, power, jealousy, mistaken identity
and individual deficiencies. It’s a fatalistic noir tale of one man’s vain struggle to escape his own limitations, unfortunately an impossibility in the world of noir.
