Do I Exist: A Riddle is a film by Dhruva Harsh.[1]
Plot[edit]
Do I Exist: A Riddle is a short film comprising René Descartes’s philosophy “Cogito, ergo sum” (I think, therefore I am) and “Buddhism” combined. This work of fiction is the manifestation of dream and death or life after death. It’s about existing as a ‘being’ or not. In this film soul seeks transformation into a buddhist monk and redeems his soul from the body captivated with the charm of corporeal desire and ‘maya’ (delusion) even after death.
Here Siddhartha, the protagonist is already dead but still stuck in the matrix called ‘maya’ in Sanskrit and he seems utterly confused between life and death, dream and reality, forgets time and place and keeps dwelling in the same house where he lived with his wife called Marvi. Siddhartha’s character is influenced with Gautama Buddha, a primary figure of Buddhism, and he is a modern portrayal of him. But here Siddhartha does not have any choice to renounce his wife in seclusion but his wife Marvi leaves him over a quarrel of about conceiving a baby.
