In a world cluttered with noise, Devil in Disguise pierces through — with silence.
Produced by Flixbuzz India, this gripping short film isn’t your conventional thriller. Directed by Satish (@satish_kumar7042), Devil in Disguise tells a chilling, suspense-filled story with barely a word spoken — save for one powerful voice: a news anchor delivering a cryptic broadcast that shapes the mood, narrative, and psychology of the central character.
🎭 The Cast
Anchored by a sharp and intense cast including Ragav, Santhosh Gowda, Manjunatheshwara (@manjunatheshwara), and Shashi, the film draws viewers into an eerily quiet domestic setting where actions speak louder than words.
A standout element is the voiceover, which becomes the narrative’s spine — the newscast echoing on television as the only spoken thread. It's the sole voice in the otherwise silent world, elevating tension and drawing audiences in.

🎥 Visuals & Sound
Shot with a sharp visual language by DOP and Editor Ramesh (@indy_gene), the film maintains a tight, suspenseful aesthetic, using light and shadow to portray internal dread.
The music by Rithvik Muralidharan swells and recedes with perfect control — creating a haunting backdrop. Add to that the detailed sound design by Praveen Srinivasmurthy (@praveen_srinivasmurthy), and you’ve got a short film that knows how to keep viewers hooked without saying a word.
🎬 The Team Behind the Curtain
With tight coordination from Associate Directors Darshan Shetty (@darshan.shetty_1) and Kwate Lingu, and the creative oversight of producer @Manjunatheshwara, Devil in Disguise is a testament to what emerging voices in Indian cinema can do when they think global and act bold.
🧠 Themes & Interpretation
Devil in Disguise is more than a thriller — it’s a social commentary. The minimalistic dialogue, limited to a news anchor’s eerie report, serves as a mirror to society’s reliance on screens for truth, fear, and paranoia. The film asks: Is the real threat out there... or within?
🕯️ Final Word
With its cinematic silence, multilingual inclusivity, and chilling execution, Devil in Disguise proves that even short-format films can deliver big-screen impact. It’s not just a story — it’s an experience.
Catch it on Flixbuzz, and remember: the devil isn’t always loud.
