Newton

Drishyam Films approached us to design a poster for their upcoming film called Newton. It’s a delightful dark comedy that tells the story of a man who tries to conduct fair elections in remote areas of Chhattisgarh, where there is a Naxal presence. In collaboration with the clients, we took inspiration from folk art specific to the region and adopted the vibrant colours and textures in a contemporary context. The poster was thought of as a playing card, to convey duality and the title of the film is an ambigram. Read more on Indiewire and Mint Lounge.
