Bhasad is a laugh riot! From start to finish the film keeps getting better. Comedy is the most difficult
genre to attempt and deliver, and Bhasad surprises you with the ease with which it achieves that goal. 
The film is a situational comedy, with an element of the buddy film, and a pinch of suspense; all of
which make for a cackling combination, while also revealing Vanshika Sharma as a filmmaker to definitely watch
out for! 
The best part of the narrative is that it doesn’t take itself seriously in its tone or the projection it throws on
the viewer. So, the film may seem a bit raw or rough around the edges, but don’t let that fool
you. In fact, a comedy is meant to do just that, come across silly. But the devil is in the detail. It is a film
of not too many words, but each joke lands!

Bhasad | Short Film of the Day

The title is very interesting, the film is a love letter to the self. This ‘self', however, isn’t an already
consolidated, secure, stable whole, but a germ of the same that is still growing, evolving. This
exploration happens through the questions that the protagonist asks – of himself, of the city,
of the viewer, and also perhaps, the larger universe that he posits this ‘self’ in relation to. All
these questions are bubbling inside the mind of the protagonist. On the exterior, the shots of a
motionless sky, and a racing underground metro, visually map the landscape of the city. 
It seems like a film of quiet introspection, until a girl enters the scene and disturbs its equilibrium. Following that, it becomes something else completely. Do the same questions still remain or do they attain a new
meaning for the self when it comes in contact with another? The viewer is left to ponder.
