Cheers is a lot about covering distances, between alcoholism and being a teetotalism, conflict and reconciliation, running away and finding your way back. <br><br> The short film portrays this with Ali Faizal and Anju Mahendru as the most convincing mother-son duo. The narrative is engaging and elegant and it has skilled cinematography and writing to thank for it. Add to it just the right amount of music and voila! You have a satisfying and wholesome piece of art on your hands.

Cheers | Short Film of the Day

The video marks ten years of a campaign that was started by actor and director Nandita Das under the Women of Worth NGO in 2009. Called Dark is Beautiful, the campaign attempts to fight discrimination against a dark complexion in India, a country which is made up of 1.3 billion people. <br><br> The visuals include short sketches and a huge cast of different actors questioning the supremacy of fair skin in India, especially when it comes to defining beauty standards and ascribing value to a person. The cast, in an all-black attire, sings along to a song that questions the erasure of this particular kind of diversity in a country as massive as India.
