A Film with a Purpose

"Metronome" has ignited conversations around mental health across India. It has received immense appreciation from India’s leading mental health professionals and institutions, and was even screened as part of the Indian Mental Health Summit, where over 70 psychiatrists and psychologists engaged in powerful dialogue around its themes. All psychiatric depictions were guided by extensive research and validated by expert partners, ensuring an authentic and responsible portrayal of sensitive topics.
But Metronome doesn't just talk about mental health; it's a raw, electric tribute to the true Indian independent music scene. To do justice to rock and roll, we cast real musicians, not just actors. This story takes a turn no one sees coming. Try your wildest guess – you'll still be shocked if not surprised.

Metronome is a powerful and essential film that sparks crucial dialogue around mental well-being. A must-watch."
