Neelesh Misra is Doing a Reddit AMA — and You Should Be There

Tomorrow, 6th May, at 8:00 PM, Neelesh Misra will be sitting down for a Reddit AMA — Ask Me Anything — about his newly launched Commute Film Kood.
If you have watched the film, you already have questions. About the bridge. About Sameer and Mini. About why we chose this story, and why now. About what it felt like to step in front of the camera for the first time as both director and actor. About the songs, the silences, the ending that stays with you longer than you expect. Tomorrow night, you can ask him directly!

Kood begins at a bridge at the edge of a city. Not the kind of place people come to pause. The kind of place people come to when they have already decided. One winter morning, two strangers arrive there — Sameer and Mini — each carrying a private, unspoken ending. They do not know each other. They do not intend to meet. And yet, in a moment that feels almost incidental, their lives intersect — just as one of them takes the leap.
But Kood is not a story about death. It is about what happens when death passes you by. Over the course of a single day, Sameer and Mini move through the city together — two people who still intend to end their lives by nightfall, and yet cannot quite stop living in the hours between.

Neelesh Misra plays the lead role alongside actor Ketaki Kulkarni. The film is produced by Slow Motion Pictures — the films vertical of The Slow Movement — and directed by Misra himself, marking his debut behind the camera. The music carries the same emotional weight as the story — intimate, unhurried, honest. The second song from the film, Zindagi 1.0 — written, composed and sung by Misra — was released on 29th April and has already found its way into the hearts of thousands of listeners.
Kood is, at its core, a deeply human film about despair, chance, and the fragile weight of companionship. It lingers in that uncertain space between ending and continuation — asking, gently, what it means to be seen, even briefly, before you disappear.

The AMA will be hosted at u/neeleshmisraofficial on Reddit, starting 8:00 PM tomorrow. It is open to everyone — whether you have followed his work for years or stumbled upon Kood just last week. If you haven't watched the film yet, there is still time. It is available now on Neelesh Misra's official YouTube channel. Watch it today. Let it sit with you. And come back tomorrow with your questions. Some conversations are worth showing up for and this is one of them.
