ह्यूमन्स इन द लूप

An AI-era drama written and directed by Aranya Sahay that explores the hidden human labour powering artificial intelligence — the data annotators, content moderators, and 'ghost workers' whose invisible efforts train the systems reshaping the world. The film blends lyrical documentary aesthetics with narrative fiction to examine questions of visibility, dignity, and technological displacement. It won the Best Music Award at the Imagineindia Film Festival 2025 for Saransh Sharma's score. Released on limited Indian screens on 5 September 2025 and globally on Netflix on 31 October 2025.

Humans in the Loop carries no traditional song album. Saransh Sharma (recording as Khwabgah) composed an ambient, post-classical score that blends organic soundscapes with textured electronic production — described by critics as 'misty, tribal music with surreal changes in notes coated in synth keys'. The score won Best Music at Imagineindia 2025. This is a score-only release with no vocal songs.

Among 2025's most distinctive Hindi films for its subject — the invisible human labour powering artificial intelligence — and for Saransh Sharma's (Khwabgah) ambient score, which won Best Music at Imagineindia Film Festival 2025. This was a rare institutional recognition of post-classical electronic composition in Indian film at a moment when AI-themed storytelling was just entering mainstream Hindi cinema.

Netflix's global release (31 October 2025) gave the film international reach far beyond its limited Indian theatrical run. Saransh Sharma's Khwabgah project gained recognition in ambient music circles following the Imagineindia award, and the film is cited in early critical discussions of AI representation in Indian cinema — a conversation that will only grow.
