The music video, with its title translating to 'prayer', is a wonderful splash of colors, matched in its approach by the overall aesthetic and ambience of the narrative. Similar visuals of a man lying down against different backgrounds are put next to each other to enhance it all. The video thus becomes a stringing together of vast expanses of the sea, rocks and the endless sky, as if viewed from the eyes of a divine being looking down upon earth from their heavenly abode. 
The sole character of the video sings to an unnamed, nondescript god about the state of things on the planet. Even as he sings for protection from imminent obstacles, there is still the invocation of an unexpected, uplifting sense of hope and warmth. The vocals are equally matched, and ensure that the final result is presented forth in a balanced, wholesome manner.

The music video presents a passage of time and the different stages of a relationship nestled within it. What starts as the solitary existence of an artist becomes a journey from isolation to community and forming a family. The video is defined by heartwarming and uplifting visuals. They are then tied with soulful Tulu vocals by Praveen Alva, and a fixed frame, to achieve all of this and some more, with ease. 

 Sometimes stories and narratives try a little too passionately to conjure magic, and ironically, that is precisely where the magic gets lost. For ‘Ninna Suttaya’ (Around You), its simplicity and directness of approach and storytelling remain its biggest strengths, allowing it to convey everything it intends to with lucidity of portrayal and communication.

A brutal world of cockfighting, equally powerful vocals, and a reality swiftly unfolding into chaos - these form the defining elements of the music video. What begins as an intensely charged moment of two groups of cockfighters devolves into absolute mayhem. As rivalry and bruised egos come to the fore, the characters reach a point of no return. 
The high-energy visuals are constructed with attention to detail and are equally matched by the Tulu song that plays next to all the action. A triumph in terms of the edit, one of the most notable aspects alongside the vocals, nestles itself within the end result, drawing you deeper and deeper into its world. This ensures there is no looking away as the spilled blood presents a movement from animals to humans, the violence stretching itself from one set of beings to another.

The short film is an interesting and fun exploration of the stop motion technique to tell a story. The narrative traverses a span of one day in the life of a man - from waking up to getting ready for work, to driving back home, cooking and eventually falling asleep, the film maps it all in its short duration. The stop motion is a reflection of the skill involved, as well as of the devotion to the narrative and meticulous attention to detail. All of these are weaved together with an equally fitting soundtrack, blending smoothly with the visuals unfolding on screen. This organic union allows Lockmotion to be an entertaining, well-rounded watch for the viewer.

A fixed frame beyond a glass wall takes us into the realm of the film. The camera adopts a fly-on-the-wall approach to portray it for the viewer. As the lens watches like a quiet observer, different sets of people enjoy a cup of coffee in a cafe. From friends, to lovers to perhaps parents watching over their children, all of these situations are shared with you. The common thread that ties the straightforward narrative into a whole are the many stories and scenarios that unfold around the same spot and activity, aiming to leave the viewer with a sense of warmth and togetherness.
