With its focus on delivering high-impact yet simple storylines, Yoodlee Films has raised the bar for great filmmaking in India.

"I can't do this, I will tell them I only sing English songs"

'Axone' starts with Bendang who is struggling to sing a Hindi song in the hope to get the only paid gig he could manage in Delhi. A small group of friends is preparing for their closest friend's wedding eve and cooking a special dish of Northeast India.

Themes of racism, eve-teasing, relationships & conflicts between both friends & lovers are addressed in the film and are highly relevant to the present socio-cultural situation of our country.

The movie shows two (and more) isolated communities coexisting in a locality of Delhi, having a tough time adjusting with each other. Where 'Shiv' a.k.a. Hyper played by Rohan Joshi is a symboling character who attempts to blur the line of their differences, assisted by 'Upsana' who being from Nepal faces difficulties finding acceptance amongst her friends.

A must watch!
