Loved it. So glad barun is taking such big risk unlike his contemparies. He has set himself up in different league from this short film.

I think it makes more sense than just karma

"Derma" I really liked it. I think it makes more sense than just karma. Barun is amazing in this role. He very subtly shows every change in the mood and feelings of his character.
And he made his character alive again, you want to think about Anthony, you want to know how he lived before and why he became such a person.
Derma with Barun Sobti
nataliaden5 March 2019
Derma is very strong in content and message of the work, as well as the game and the implementation of the Director and the whole team. Of course an excellent game of Barun, Sobti, his acting skills of expressing emotions without words, just one look and admire the body and sends chills pozvonochnika. Coupled with stunning views of the mountains of Manali and minor music creates a complete immersion in the world of horror Anthony and hellish snake tattoo, absorbing and punishing him for his sins and vices. The dermis shows the circle of Karma, reveals the problems of fallen people who have lost their way and a terrible end. the skin stretched over the frame as a warning to the next people to think about their actions and life.
Not entertaining, slept in first 10 minutes.

Brilliant Performance by Barun Sobti

Derma is a short film biased to the combination of Horror / occult / myth and Fantasy genres. Barun Sobti portrayed the main character Antony. He has proved that he is a phenomenal actor with his extraordinary acting in this short film. The story gives us goosebumps and it is so creepy. Congratulation to whole cast n crew of Derma,..! Good Luck in your work...!
As mystical as it terrifies

Words are missing to describe this masterpiece. Derma is amazing from beginning to end, catching until the last second. The stages are extraordinary and the performance of Barun Sobti is sublime, his body expression, his look in each scene, his pain, the final message. I shuddered until his last scream !!! Very very good!!!! Brilliant Derma👏👏👏
Karma has a surprising and strange way of paying you back!
daniyaahsan5 March 2019
The story of a man's karma for his wrongdoing. 15 mins of a well plotted and well-executed story with an open ending giving a fair insight that karma really gets back to you: it leaves a spine-tingling sensation by realizing the symbolism and remarkable accuracy in its portrayal. Barun Sobti as Anthony, take a bow, man! He is the kind of actor that is able to own a scene with subtlety, conveying emotions with his mannerisms and eyes alone. The way he's disappeared into anthony's character, going above and beyond both physically and mentally, to justify every nuance from the careless attitude to realizing his mistake and that shower scene in itself is an absolute masterpiece, he delivers on so many levels as an actor. The genre may not be everyone's cup of tea but it's really something good different with good use of sound, brilliant acting and cinematography, and creativity within the plot and its execution.
A brilliant piece of worl
jyeshthabhagat5 March 2019
Be it the screenplay or the story ,direction, camera work or the visuals its a masterpiece . And acting wise it feels real the pain of getting your back tattooed or the terror in his eyes when that grows on his back is terrifically portrayed ... I mean it's barun sobti do I need to say anything more???
Thanks to all the creators for this little movie.
dmidovaa5 March 2019
The film "Derma" made a very strong impression on me. The film is shot in the Thriller genre and every second keeps the viewer in suspense and anxiety. I like that Director uses a lot of different signs in the film very skillfully. They can not be seen immediately This film is not for a single viewing. You will return to the beginning several times and each time you find some new clue or riddle. This film is both about the modern problem of our world and its ancient laws.
Barun Sobti... I was always interested to see him in such a role. He is merciless to his hero, but in performance of Barun Sobti this hero can not be flat and unambiguous. His character does not cause sympathy, but he causes a keen interest in himself. He cuts into your memory, into your thoughts and makes you think about yourself constantly. We want to know more about this man, we want to know why he became that way. Great job Barun!
Shiny Dixit also fit in perfectly with this film. It seems that this film was just born by itself: with this nature, this music, these characters and this story. Thanks to all the creators for this little movie.
Derma - super film

After the first viewing of the short film #Derma, I had a real emotional shock, just a brain explosion. It was so cool, a little unexpected and unusual for the works of Barun. I review #Derma over and over, I review every frame, watching Anthony's emotions. It's so great to look at a completely different Baron, he is an incredibly talented actor! I admire the way he shows his character's life, his emotions.

Barun Sobti Derma
aoua-950535 March 2019
A so beautifully made short film about Tattoos and Karma.
Barun Sobti was just amazing as Anthony, a character who lost himself because of addiction to alcohol, drugs...., a character you could not possibly help but have sympathy for him despite all his flaws
For a few minutes, Barun showed such that many will not be able to show in the 1000 episodes!
I only wish that Derma was avalaible globally so that more people could watch it, both in India and internationally

fetiniya5 March 2019
In the film Derma all very well done, there is nothing superfluous, everything is exactly as it should be. Every scene in film is a masterpiece, even nature and music enhance the impression of the film. And acting Barun at the absolute peak of his acting skills extra class. It is noticeable that he put his whole soul into this role - emotions, gestures, facial expressions, voice, gait - everything perfect for his character Anthony. That there is only one scene in the shower, just tear of the aorta, so many emotions, goose bumps all over my body ... And the last scene in the house of the old tattoo artist ... Brrr ... it's creepy . Anthony may have lived wrong, but I'm sorry for him ..
DERMA - when the soul comes to tears, Unbearable pain you may be stuck...

I've watched "Derma" several times, but so far, when I revise it, I'm overwhelmed by the excitement and horror of what is happening on the screen... Barun Sobti's silent acting is incomparable-his facial expressions and his whole body work for the character...Only such a brilliant actor as Barun can so surrender to the role and show all the nuances of the experiences of his hero ! Talented acting Barun Sobti so believable that makes you feel that all these events do not occur on the screen, and in real life, and you even more begin to sympathize with Anthony, so terribly finished his life...
DERMA is a little masterpiece
caroline_shebs5 March 2019
Warning: Spoilers
This short film is a little masterpiece. In it, everything is thought out to the smallest detail, neither add nor subtract. Attentive viewers in each frame can understand a special meaning Well, for example, a girl undresses not for an extra piquancy of the moment, but in order to more fully reveal the character of the heroine - emancipation on the verge of licentiousness, a focus on getting pleasure here and now. And besides, a parallel is clearly visible - the soul of the girl is also naked before karma, as is the soul of Anthony. This subtext is obvious. I like that there are no details in the film that would distract from the main thing, which would complicate the perception of the plot of the film. Despite the gloomy content, the film looks very easy, in one breath. Everything is very concise, but understandable. Any understatement is compensated by the plot itself. And only the final remain open - each spectator himself assumes how the tortures of Tony ended.
I'm in love with this movie. It's perfect.
Rare piece of art

Barun's brilliance as Anthony left me shocked & wanting for more. He stood out in every frame in such an understated manner. Hats off to the guy for being one of the only actors to try his hand at such versatile content & leave his mark every single time!

I've watched #Derma a few times, but so far, when I review it, I'm stunned by the excitement and horror of what's happening on screen.. So cool to look at a completely different Barun , he is an incredibly talented actor and such a negative character he has not played . It's impossible to break away from watching him !!! Barun rose to the next level of his acting skills, and he once again showed that he can play complex characters . Anthony, though bad, mediocre lived his life, but I'm humanly sorry for him .....
Barun and #Derma .
lananazarova9 March 2019
When I first saw the short film #Derma , I had a real emotional shock , just a brain explosion . I couldn't understand what I had just seen , it was so unexpected and unusual . I can't stop watching #Derma over and over again - I miss these 15 minutes , they end too quickly , and I bet on repeat .When the shock passed, I began to consider every frame-watching Anthony's emotions . So cool to look at a completely different Barun , he is an incredibly talented actor and such a negative character he has not played . It is very hard to watch this film , but it fascinated me and I watch it again and again, enjoying the acting of Barun . I admire the way he shows the life of his character , his emotions . It's impossible to break away from watching him !!! I wanted to highlight a special moment, but I thought , that all the scenes were played perfectly and Barun in them is incredibly gorgeous , I love each of them . Barun managed his acting to convey to the audience different shades and halftones of Anthony's character . Barun rose to the next highest level of his acting skills and he , once again , showed that he can play a variety of complex characters . The movie is heavy, but very instructive and it needs to be watched in all countries , not only in India.
