The short film is subtle and calm which is precisely what makes its climax significantly disconcerting for the viewer. The narrative starts off as a regular story of gossip, scandal and infidelity in a small pocket of Delhi. <br><br> However it progesses unpredictably to catch even the most prepared viewer off guard. Tisca Chopra's performance in the film is a dream, just as strongly supported by Rasika Dugal. The major chunk of Chutney is a conversation between two housewives over a plate of pakodhas. While the audience might be preoccupied with the more obvious narrative of addressing a disloyal husband who has taken fancy to a woman younger than his wife, the dark soul of the film rests peacefully within the recipe the displeased, older, but also the more experienced woman has to share.

Chutney | Short Film of the Day

YouTuber Bhuvan Bam and actor Divya Dutta weave an endearing tale of kindness, compassion and love in this short film. When two strangers, from very different walks of life, meet in an overnight train, conversation flows. A young army personnel, played by Bam, teaches a thing or two about relationships to Dutta, a woman facing trouble in her married life. <br><br> Plus Minus is an honest attempt at reminding the viewer that we often take a lot of things for granted. It draws attention to a life of uncertainty and hardship, that of an army man, who might never have the luxury of those things. With its heart in the right place, the short film, made as a tribute to Captain Harbhajan Singh of the Indian Army, will strike a chord with many.
