drama · Short Films · malayalam
The short film opens with an endearing (and perhaps relatable for many) situation - a couple trying to get a hotel room in a small town. The awkwardness, the questioning stares, and the thrill of the unease - all of it is attempted to be engaged with in the film. Additionally, the performances as well as the chemistry of the characters are notable.
As the film progresses, it packs another unexpected turn for the viewer despite its short duration, and finally completes with a wholesome sense of closure. It attempts to explore the innocent need for romance, even though it might not be the most viable or practical situation available to two people. The idea the narrative engages with is not entirely unique, yet it manages to tell its story in way that would leave its audience with a sense of warmth.
