Barabanki (Uttar Pradesh) [India], May 24: Serene Films, an Ahmedabad-based production house, marked a significant milestone today. It rolled the camera on its debut feature film, “Drop Out,” with an auspicious muhurat shot at the historic Government Inter College, Barabanki. The event was graced by esteemed guests including acclaimed poet and social worker Shri Pradeep Sarang, Shri Radheyshyam – Principal of GIC Barabanki, Shri Sushil Drivedi – Lecturer, Shri Krishna Lal – College Office Assistant, Shri Asad Shajid – Fitness Mentor, as well as Shri Virendra Verma Director of Harakh Farmers’ Producer Company. Their presence and blessings set a hopeful tone for what promises to be a deeply inspiring cinematic journey.
Drop Out, written and produced by Umashanker Yadav, who is also making his debut in a leading role, is directed by Omkar Pethkar, who serves as the dialogue and screenplay writer. The film is an emotionally compelling narrative that follows the life of a gifted but financially challenged village boy. Unable to cope with the pressures of an ill-suited academic track, he boldly decides to drop out midway. Battling internal turmoil and societal judgment, he eventually discovers his true calling. At its heart, the film is a tribute to the healing power of empathy and the life-changing role of genuine friendship, seen through a female friend’s unwavering support during his mental health crisis. The film aims to echo the unspoken struggles of students caught in the web of academic pressure, parental expectations, and institutional neglect, while underscoring the importance of a supportive family in moments of transition.
