Plus Two 2: 2025 Malayalam Boomex Short Films 72 Work

The "Work" theme provides a vast scope for creative exploration. Through this Boomex project and the associated short film, students not only fulfill their academic requirements but also gain a deeper appreciation for the labor force that drives society.

Because no single Plus Two student can afford a gimbal, a shotgun mic, and lights, the 72 teams are forming a "resource co-op." Team #12 lends its tripod to Team #45 on Tuesday, and Team #45 lends its LED panel to Team #12 on Thursday. This shared economy is the silent hero of the 2025 movement.

Boomex has carved a niche by releasing short films directly on OTT and Telegram‑first channels. For Plus Two 2, they employed a “72‑hour shoot challenge” across 12 crews, resulting in 72 finished pieces. While uneven in quality, critics note a raw energy — especially in entries like “Dot & Cross” (6 min, dir. Anjali S. Nair) and “Malayalam NLP” (4 min, dir. Firoz K.).
