When talking about college life, the norm is to adopt a lighthearted tone, with a garnish of drama every now and then. Consequently, a show like Operation MBBS which shatters this mould, promises to infuse a fresh breath of air in the Indian web series space. With a potentially poignant portrayal of the struggles of the students of a medical college, it becomes an engagement with peer pressure, past traumas, familial expectations and the constant struggle to perform irrespective of them all. The show seems to employ drama in an artful way, perhaps offering a little bit of something for viewers with varied expectations.

It is the season of lights, colours, sweets and above all - family. The short film attempts to capture the same with the portrayal of a young Christian bride in a Hindu family. The narrative invokes an endearing reality of love and acceptance as the woman prepares for her first Diwali. However, despite a loving husband and in-laws, the brightness is dulled by the sadness of missing her parents. The story is a simple, direct one which serves as a reminder that though we may differ in practices and cultural trends, the overarching feelings of love, affection and familial bonds remain the same.
