With Jackie Shroff, Divya Dutta and Neetu Chandra in pivotal characters, the short film is a negotiation with the many aspects of romantic love. Though the production quality is not the most polished, a well-written narrative makes up for this lacking. The film will make you smile, tear-up and reflect in turns. As an old man sits down to enjoy a drink with his broken-hearted grandson, there indeed are some interesting ideas on love and relationships to be shared.

YouTuber Bhuvan Bam and actor Divya Dutta weave an endearing tale of kindness, compassion and love in this short film. When two strangers, from very different walks of life, meet in an overnight train, conversation flows. A young army personnel, played by Bam, teaches a thing or two about relationships to Dutta, a woman facing trouble in her married life. Plus Minus is an honest attempt at reminding the viewer that we often take a lot of things for granted. It draws attention to a life of uncertainty and hardship, that of an army man, who might never have the luxury of those things. With its heart in the right place, the short film, made as a tribute to Captain Harbhajan Singh of the Indian Army, will strike a chord with many.

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. 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.
