Nireeksha is a period film based on true incidents and urban legend.
The fictional part is based on an urban legend and the tragic event which happens to NGO worker is based on true incident,
This short story stitches both seamlessly.
Director quotes "I was a kid when this incident took place in my neighborhood village & I didn't know what to do, I was too young to understand & react!
That incident went unreported even though many villages around knew about it,
This movie is reflection of my thoughts over that incident.
My helplessness at that age even haunts me today"
This movie was shot in remote villages of western-ghats in 2018.
Team tried to bring the good old 90s feel on screen by experimenting with warm lighting, costumes and properties.
Film also captures the contemporary events such as Talent migration and
Urbanization (that began in Malnad during 90s ) in its subtle layer.
