The film does a commendable job of drawing one’s attention in a stark, unabashed manner to the inherent, implicit sexism that operates on every level. The tool it employs to achieve this is language. <br><br> Linguistic conditioning is tipped in the favor of patriarchy, and the film offers a strong endeavor to question the same. It is concise and lucid in its messaging, and thus succeeds in achieving clear communication of its intentions. Additionally, there is a quiet reminder of how ideas of strength and courage should never be burdened with gender binaries. 


Connection Kya Hai | Short Film of the Day

Woh Pal is a sweet film with a simple message. A message that perhaps we take for granted, or simply
forget, one of parental love and affection. Aman, an 11-year-old boy, makes attempts to revive
the relationship between his grandparents and father as he believes it needs help. He
takes it upon himself to bring them closer by alluding to the fond childhood memories that they shared
together. <br><br> True to the grammar of the short film, Woh Pal delays the reason or the explanation for
Aman’s motivation. For all its regard for parental love, the film is curiously titled thus, making a
reference to the memories, and not something that pronounces its position more directly. The film falls
perfectly into the genre of the ‘90s’ ‘family films’.
