music video · Short Films · hindi

The music video is not meant for a lighthearted watch, but instead draws attention to the underbelly of life and its many obstacles. These difficulties are increased manifold if you happen to be a woman, much worse, if a single mother. The video follows a non-linear trajectory to share one such story of a woman in rural India.

As she toils at manual labour every day, all her energy and efforts are focused on raising her only son. The narrative employs skilled visuals, boasting of notable camerawork, to convey its story of hard work, violence, loss and a journey back to the past to perhaps seek closure. This is further complemented by the vocals which perform a sad tune, adding to the moroseness of the feelings the video invokes in the viewer.
