The paper identifies trends in Indian filmmaking on the Covid-19 outbreak between 2020-22 by examining selected short films and short film anthologies, documentaries/docudramas and feature films. The Introduction looks at appraisals of popular films on epidemics, which appeared in popular and academic media (print and electronic) between those two years. In passing, it notes that Indian films on epidemic outbreaks—though not too many—found almost no space in these publications. They also tended to overlook films produced internationally, leaving aside one or two exceptions from south Korea. The remaining study of the three genres identified above show that: (a) there is a vast difference in approach and tone between the first and the second waves of Covid-19 in India, (b) that some representations highlight official/ruling party views and are generally optimistic and laudatory, while others point to policy failures, (c) that while some short films focus on middle/upper middle class experience of the lockdowns, others foreground the enforced reverse migration of labour and destitution, (d)that Indian feature films, especially from Bollywood, have not yet ventured with any seriousness into this far-reaching public health disaster.
