Imtiaz Ali and Anurag Kashyap team up to present the coming-of-age short film “Bobby Beauty Parlour.” Both outlets report that the film is directed by Shashwat Dwivedi and follows Eelu and Manu, childhood best friends who spend their last hours together in a neighborhood beauty parlour. During that time, the pair drink, nap and bicker as they deal with the end of a chapter and their reluctance to separate. One source frames the project as a friendship-themed release that premieres during Friendship Week, while another highlights Ali’s personal connection to the story’s setting, noting that the filmmaker draws on memories of his own small hometown. Together, the reports describe “Bobby Beauty Parlour” as a drama centered on friendship and growing up, using a single location and a compressed timeframe to focus on the characters’ final moments together. No additional cast, release platform details, or production information beyond these basics is provided in the excerpts.
