Shubh Yatra- Title Sequence
Designing the animated opening credits sequence for the award-winning Manish Saini’s Gujarati comedy feature ‘Shubh Yatra’
Amdawad Films
Overview
Mohan and Hardik have never travelled in a flight before. They decide to leave their village with the dream of earning in dollars to get rid of their debts quickly. Their desperation forces them into fraudulent activities, and soon they find themselves on the brink of disaster. They must find their way out. But what route will they choose?
The Idea
Can this be a dream sequence of our protagonists?
What would people who have never travelled in flights imagine it to be like?
Can we add nuances of Gujarat in the sequence?
Can the sequence subtly foreshadow the plot of the story?
Luck favours Hardik, while the main protagonist Mohan’s journey is riddled with complications. We decided to intercut between the two contrasting storylines– to make the resolution for each storyline less apparent only be understood after watching the film.
