Imagine a couple in love that has run away from their home and family. They find themselves in the hills because the man, who grew up there, wants to show his beloved all his childhood haunts. If your first instinct was to imagine a young couple dancing around trees, then this short film is for you. It attempts to break the stereotype of love and relationships belonging only to a fixed age group by taking us into the lives of its protagonists, inhabitants of an old age home. As they traverse their memories of love, loss and childhood rivalries, there is perhaps one last battle to be won. Lillette Dubey is breathtaking in the film, supported by Mohan Agashe in the most endearing manner. Purana Pyaar also deserves praise for its writing and storytelling.

#PuranaPyaar | Short Film of the Day

If you have a stomach for cuss words, you'll find this short film hilarious. The story is about the struggles of a young boy who is trying to get married. However, every girl he meets ends up rejecting him because of his inability to stop himself from stuttering out the most inappropriate abuses. The narrative is well-handled with convincing performances and interesting characters, irrespective of the duration they appear for. If you're looking for a light-hearted romedy about the failed attempts of an engineer and MBA graduate to find love, this is a film that might end the search.

Ashleel Pyaar | Short Film of the Day

The short film is one of the many episodes of a series called Love Handles by Gorilla Shorts. Each episode looks at a different love story and adopts a unique approach in constructing the narrative. This particular short film is about two kleptomaniacs and how they fall in love while trying to one-up each other in theft. When it comes to treatment, the film does not offer anything fresh and often gives in to corniness. The two actors, however, do full justice to their parts, and an effortless chemistry further adds to it. The film as a product fails to come together and does not go beyond being a regular romance that will not particularly enrich your viewing experience.
