What happens

Shook is a 2024 Canadian drama film, co-written, produced, and directed by Amar Wala. An expansion of his 2018 short film of the same name, which starred Raymond Ablack as Ashish and Sugith Varughese as his father, the film is based in part on Wala's own experiences after his real father was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
