Ahead of Father’s Day, Blush’ latest offering is about a nervous, newly married’s woman’s relationship with her father-in-law. The narrative is plotted against the background of an India-Pakistan cricket match. As they watch the match together, the memory of the 1996 World Cup, where India and Pakistan played in the same team against Sri Lanka, is invoked. While reminding the viewer of a heartwarming memory in the history of the World Cup, the young woman finds a similar emotional space with her father-in-law that she had once found wit her own father. Released amidst the World Cup hysteria that has gripped the nation, the short film is simple, endearing and makes for a wholesome watch.

Unexpected Partnership | Short Film of the Day

Right from the start till the very end, the short film keeps the viewer guessing. The unpredictability becomes one of its most prominent strength in the process. This is coupled with endearing performances and convincing writing that is associated with much of Culture Machine's content. The film attempts to explore the dynamics of a modern day workplace and how it ties up with the personal life of a young girl. However, no matter how topsy-turvy things may go, as long as there's a non-judgmental friend who enables you by being a sounding board and a voice of reason, there is little that can't be fixed, won't you agree?

About Last Night | Short Film of the Day

The short film does a good job of convincing you of its predictability, and then an even better one of proving you wrong. It’s the story of one afternoon where a solo trip is being discussed by a mother and daughter duo over a cup of tea. The mother has apprehensions of what it is to begin while the daughter is convinced of what a wonderful experience it is to be by yourself. Not entirely subtle in its messaging, the short film leaves you with a reminder to be kinder to your parents, especially when they forget it themselves.

Zindagi Ki Itinerary | Short Film of the Day

It's a busy morning, a woman is readying herself for work, her daughter for school and a cup of coffee for her husband. But where does she fit in all this rush? This is what the short film questions on the occasion of Women's Day. If we move past the tokenism of this day, women need to be respected and looked at as any other human being - complete with their qualities as well as flaws. Badlaav reminds the viewer of the need for this change in our thought and action when it comes to our relationships with women. Will you be part of it?

Badlav | Short Film of the Day

The most efficient way to normalise a reality is to portray it in art as a normalised reality. This short film applies the same formula and succeeds at it most wonderfully. '377 अब Normal' is a film about a boy fighting with his parents to buy him a motorbike. However, the twist is that just when the audience expects his mother to walk out and intervene the lighthearted quarrel between him and his father, another father walks out. With its effervescence and complete lack of exaggerated plot devices, the short film leaves the audience with an important message - it's love and not the gender of the parents that determine a healthy household for the wellbeing of the family.
