The film packs a powerful, pertinent comment in its conciseness. The entirety of the narrative unfolds within the confines of a single conversation. Three men discuss the sexual assault and violence inflicted on women. One of the characters mentions how more and more of these cases are being brought to light, only to be dismissed by another, saying that of course women who step out of the house and dress in a certain way, deserve what is coming their way.<br><br>

The most crucial character, however, in this entire development becomes the fourth man, the quiet listener who does not participate directly. In a notable, controlled, and skilled manner, the film thus presents a crucial commentary on sexism, misogyny, and the extremely damaging and rampant forces of patriarchy wreaking havoc on society.




Soch | Short Film of the Day

Made as a romance with Urdu poetry, Ghalib narrates the story of two lovers who bond over their shared love of the language. A potential love story begins to develop within the confines of a library with love notes left behind in the poetry books by the legends of the past. <br><br> The film has its moments of humour and is an attempt to adopt a unique manner for a story which is not entirely new. When the scene is set in a setting as romantic (and romanticised) as the works of Ghalib, Faiz and Mir, to name a few, can anything really go wrong?
