Through a deep, long glimpse into the lives of Aamir and Chitra, the film presents a fevered exploration of parallel realities, the fluidity of time, and the unreliable nature of memory. While Aamir is a physicist, Chitra is a psychiatrist, and it is within these fields that their realities are not only grounded but also taken apart bit by bit. Amidst it all is the presence of a strange, celestial entity - the red planet, which appeared in the sky out of nowhere once. The ensuing result offers an interesting relationship between the personal events of the characters and a surreal and bizarre natural phenomenon no one is able to make sense of. 
The performances, chemistry, and story construction all exhibit skill, but it is the visual progression and grammar that become a truly unmissable triumph. The world thus conjured draws the viewer in, ensuring they are unable to look away, and while questions linger and persist, it is this beautifully conjured realm that ties it all together most seamlessly.

Entanglement | Short Film Nominee

What happens to all the flags that we proudly host on Republic Day once the day is over? This is the question this short film raises very emphatically. It further highlights the fact that it's the intention and not the scale of its execution that truly matters. This Republic Day, let The Day After invoke respect and love for the country, while also reminding you that change begins with action.

The Day After | Short Film of the Day

The film invokes a narrative that opens with the upheavals that the coronavirus has caused all over the world, only to give way to a virus of another kind. It's one that consumes your existence, but is it a mental health crisis or a pandemic or something entirely different that comes riding on the feelers of an insect? The film raises all of these questions, taking the viewer into the locked down reality of its protagonist who, one day, finds a surreptitious intruder in his house. It is further marked by a fitting background score, allowing the final product to be a sincere, unequivocal portrayal of its concerns, intentions and plot.
