From Story to Spotlight: ECE Wins at National Level Cine Spark Challenge

Students of the Dept. of Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE) secured First Place at the Cine Spark Micro Movie Challenge, conducted as part of Jhenkaar Season 6, a two-day National Level Educational and Cultural Fest organized by Sri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara College, Ujire (Post Graduate Centre).
The team’s short film, Koneya Mathu, seamlessly blends storytelling with emotion to portray the poignant journey of a young food delivery boy burdened by guilt and helplessness, not because he failed to love his mother, but because he couldn’t give her the life she deserved despite her sacrifices. Struggling to survive, often going hungry, he is consumed by thoughts of regret. One night, while on a delivery, memories of his mother overwhelm him, leading to a tragic accident. In his final moments, he imagines speaking to her, promising to become a better son—but it remains an illusion, as his unspoken words fade with him. The film concludes with a haunting reminder that, amidst countless sorrows, even a single smile can fade, leaving behind only the last word.
Koneya Mathu stands out for its social relevance, reminding us of the importance of expressing love and gratitude while there is still time. It reflects how life’s pressures often silence emotions, leaving behind the realization that even a fleeting moment of connection holds immense value.
This meaningful storytelling was brought to life through the dedicated efforts of the team:
• Written & Directed by: Bavith P Salian
• DOP & Cinematography: Prathish K
• Editing: Ashish S Shetty
• Cast: Manvith Shetty & Sharvani
• Valuable support: Mokshith S Shetty, Amruthananda J Peraje, Shravan Kulal
This accomplishment highlights not only the creative talent and technical skills of our students but also their ability to convey socially relevant messages through impactful visual narratives.
