Balls of steel

A dark comedy film

After a stray bullet from a corrupt politician’s son shatters his testicles and his dreams of manhood, timid 20-year-old petrol-pump attendant Sharad turns to black-market testosterone shots—morphing overnight from awkward virgin to ruthless avenger. But when the high fades and vulnerability returns, he, his childhood friend Joy and an unlikely transgender ally must face the violent force that destroyed him—and define what real strength and masculinity truly mean.

Brief Take

Sharad, 20, is the proud owner of zero career prospects and a perpetually ticking virginity clock. By day he’s a clueless college student in Nashik; by night he’s the only sober soul at his uncle’s petrol pump—still palming gasoline receipts while his mates graduate from puppy love to sticky hotel trysts. Even Joy, his best friend-slash-crush, has politely parked him in the friendzone.

Then one neon-flicker evening, Gotya—the sloshed, trigger-happy son of a local bigwig—bursts in to thwart his sister’s elopement. One stray shot later, and Sharad’s testicles are history. Suddenly “manhood” is less a birthright and more a punchline.

Herbal tonics flop. Enter Dimple, a cheeky transgender beggar who teaches him to laugh at his own tragedy. Desperate, Sharad turns to black-market testosterone injections—and transforms overnight into a swaggering alpha: magnetic, ruthless… and finally worthy of Joy’s bed. But when the drug-powered bravado nosedives, his softer, fumbling self returns—and Joy sticks by him anyway.

High on T one minute and sobbing in his unmade bed the next, Sharad teams up with Dimple and Joy to stick it to Gotya. Now he faces the ultimate absurd choice: chase the chemical roar of “balls of steel,” or own the tender guy beneath. After all—what really makes a man? A syringe full of juice? A pair of gonads? Or just the size of his heart?

Creator's Take

Buckle up for a riotous ride through the bruised ego of modern manhood! In this dark comedy, we ask: what’s emptier—your soul or your scrotum? Our hero loses his gonads before he loses his virginity (talk about tragic timing), only to discover that a few illicit T-shots can unlock every shadowy corner of a man’s hunger for power. Expect high-octane action set-pieces, slick music-video montages, and quips so cheeky they’d make your dad blush. All of it unfolds in Filmypur—a haze of back-alley politics, rap battles, and both perfectly legal and wildly illegal “boosters.” At its core, this is a commercial dramedy with a pointed question: does “balls of steel” really define a man, or is it the size of his heart (and his jokes)? Ready to crank up the machismo? Let’s squeeze those balls of steel!
