The event also marked the official inauguration of the M.Sc. Visual Communication Batch of 2025. The program began with a graceful Ganesh Vandana by Ms. Naveena and a song release by the III Year Viscom Students. An engaging interaction round for the new batch was organised. Dr. Bala Kumar delivered the welcome address, with a special address by HoD Dr. Srinivasan R., and a programme overview by Mr. Balaji.

Movie 377 is a student-made suspense thriller that explores themes such as sexual crimes against boys, the concept of good and bad touch, and the judicial process. The film avoids typical commercial tropes and adopts a realistic style using the Stanislavski method of acting. The cast and crew—including Balaji, Mukesh, Narayanan, and others—were present for a Q&A session with students.

The event concluded with a vote of thanks and appreciation for the students’ enthusiasm, curiosity, and the impressive studio setup at SACAS. The programme was successful with the support of the Correspondent, Director and the Principal of SACAS.
