The film does a notable job of building and creating suspense, making it its most significant strength. A man is sitting by himself when he gets a very strange phone call. A woman called Shaily threatens to kill herself because her boyfriend, Jatin, who happens to be friends with the man before us, is cheating on her. <br><br>

The narrative deliberately leads our expectations in a specific direction, only to foil them soon enough. The aforementioned suspense remains a constant throughout. As for Shaily, and the fate of the said disloyal boyfriend, a separate set of events await which will be revealed only when things have completely devovled into chaos.


Shaily Calling | Short Film Nominee

The film is a portrayal of a complex situation a couple has found itself in. It tries to discuss fidelity and the ideas of love and trust. However, the exploration remains wanting for more. <br><br> When a boy finds out that his live-in partner is cheating on him, he confronts her, but instead of rejecting her or walking out of the relationship, he adopts a different approach. The film might be well-intentioned, but the characters remain superficial and their motivation comes across as unconvincing. The story has the potential to be unique and perhaps can be explored expertly in similar projects by the team.
