What happens if you get stuck in a time warp while the rest of the world continues at its pace? What if your worst nightmare comes alive - you keep arriving at the wrong metro station over and over again before an important meeting? There is indeed no escaping the cyclical nature of our existence, maybe, after all, we are stuck in a time warp of sorts. This short film by Pranav Gandhe invokes all of these thoughts while also revealing the dark underbelly of a corporate life in a metropolitan city. Time moves swiftly here and enslaves us; all other activities have to keep up with it. The same cycle continues on and on in an endless fashion and there is no escaping it.

Endless | Short Film of the Day

Society has a very fixed idea of male-female relationships, workplace equations between colleagues and the dynamics of marriage. Busting the same in a light-hearted manner is this short film. The film establishes a fun-loving character right at the start who is clearly quite popular with his colleagues. However, the bubble of this effervescent friendship is soon destroyed as he gets a call from a female colleague. Her husband seems to have taken offence at some pictures of theirs together after an office party and now he must meet him to clear the air. The plot develops in an unexpected manner and conveys a positive message. The performances hold potential and the writing indeed leaves the viewer with a few laughs by the end of it all.

Work Spouse | Short Film Nominee

The short film starts off as a woman's struggle to find meaning in her life through her passion - cooking. It's the story of a homemaker who prepares elaborate meals for her husband on a daily basis. There's not much to occupy herself with the whole day, with her husband and friends busy with their own lives. Thus, she decides to start a blog about her culinary skills and interests. Predictably, the blog soars high with several thousand followers within the first month itself. However, she is unhappy because she feels she still doesn't have her husband's validation. This is precisely where the film disappoints the viewer. Perhaps the intention of the filmmaker was to portray an innocent love story where the woman finds her fame and success hollow without her husband by her side, but the portrayal of this intention fails to fulfill the expectation of its audience.
