Coffin  Nails  could not be an unfamiliar  storyline  as  it  follows  the  typical   down to earth story of  five  outstanding stars - in all sense of the term.
Generation  Z   is caught in the illusionary world of  a smart phone  , a motorbike  and a host of  activities of taboo. The  beginning of the  story has  thus become the template of the generation Z. The convincing  part of it is the way  the  innocent  school child is infatuated  by the heroic teens .
One wonders why the teacher had to shout to get out to too many in a class.
 
 
 But it is that gang that hangs out . Just one trial  was an initiation  to the world of the diseased . Everyone had a taste , even the reluctant  one.
 
 
 
 
The sheer openness alarms  the  aged. But it has inadvertently crept into the  modern psyche.  At home service , right in the path, graffiti  .. all stun the  People  Of The   Age  of  the Wheels.
The deadly signs were visible  after a month or so . But who cares ??? The bros  shook to reality only after the saddened sudden demise  of their sweet  friend.
 
“I KILLED HIM “  is louder but too late .
Anti – Tobacco  Movement  is not  a mere  activity here it has become a cult    in  their  lives.
 
 
It is  a journey from  Smoking Thrills  to  Smoking  Kills.
 
 
The    Chinmaya  message  thus shines  -  ….. …..EVER READY TO  FIGHT  AGAINST  ALL  LOW TENDANCIES  AND FALSE VALUES  WITHIN  AND  WITHOUT  US……
Each one associated with the film has successfully conveyed  what they mean to do  even without  much dialogue  .   YES  Actions speak louder than words  in   COFFIN NAILS.  
THE BEST PART:  Gokul  , when  caught  playing  prank in class . The class scene in general.
THE TOUCHING ONE:   The genuine  grievance of friends .
THE   AVOIDABLE   ONE :  Death  -  frowned us  from the  Vidyalaya   premises .
COULD HAVE ADDED  ONE :  Any attempt  to stop  smoking by any person  along with creating awareness.
TECHNICAL PART :  Mostly it runs in close shots  and mid shots , dearth of  sound  is felt in some places .
Coffin nails -  The Title :  Its amply clear as what  are those nails and who nailed  them down .
  The   Short  Film is  directed  by  Shyam  A. M   and  has in its cast   Abhishek , Ashik , Gokul  , Suraj   and Abhjith   all  senior secondary students  serious  about a cause .
                                               A MUST WATCH
