"Yakshini," a 2024 Hindi short film released under the Uncut Originals banner, revisits an enduring figure from South Asian folklore—the yakshini—while packaging myth, desire, and moral unrest into a compact cinematic statement. In under 30 minutes, the film leverages tight storytelling, focused performances, and atmospheric design to interrogate how mythic archetypes continue to shape contemporary anxieties about gender, power, and transgression.
