The web-series is an exploration of familial ties, and marked by the coming together of humour, gravity, efforts to fit in and belong, and the one thing that keeps it all together - love. What the Folks is a validation of the unease and the underlying tension that constitutes most domestic equations. It is a reminder for the viewer that if you are still negotiating your place in your family, you're not alone. Here are a bunch of different and unique characters attempting to achieve the same in a fictive space onscreen.

Swipe Right is a well-written and elegantly executed short film. It takes the viewer into the life of a young couple that meets over a dating app and hits it off immediately. As the two prepare for their first date, the stage is set for the audience to go deeper into the equation between romance and the virtual world. The story remains unpredictable till the end and gets enhanced further by convincing performances of the two lead actors. Made as part of MensXP's Love on the Rocks series, the film is a wonderful exploration of modern day dating.

Move to a big city can be daunting, especially when you're all by yourself. However, things could get just a tad bit easier if you run into a helpful stranger. The short film is the story of one such night when a young professional who has just moved to Mumbai finds herself locked outside in her balcony. With no help available at hand, the only comfort she has is the voice of the friendly neighbour upstairs. Made as part of MensXP's Love on the Rocks series, Night Out is effervescent and young, making it an endearing watch that will leave you with warm fuzzies.

Amidst the festive fervour, comes this short video, a bonus of sorts for What the Folks viewers. It's a simple, short episode of a mother who is alone at home on Diwali. However, when the doorbell rings, a surprise awaits her. Will this Diwali be more dull than others or will the surprise be a pleasant one?

Throw in actors like Neena Gupta, Aditi Rao Hydari, Amol Parashar and what do you get? You get a fun short film like Mama's Boys. Hello, modern day Bhim and Yudhishtir - one goes to the gym while the other latches on to Arjun for free bike rides. No, the short film didn't forget Nakul and Sahdev - struggling fashion designers who want to keep their homosexuality hidden from their mother, because after all, they ARE mama's boys. Mama's Boys is marked by the brand of humour that exploits hypersexualisation to invoke laughter. Also, the film would have benefited greatly by a more well-rounded and less abrupt ending.

How much of the present do we waste by living in the past? The film raises the same question using a character who is perhaps unable to move on from a previous relationship. One night as he attempts to find comfort in the company of a girl he met at a bar, little does he know that another aspect of his life is going to barge in knocking. The short film looks at awkward date nights, notions of fidelity and the inability to let go.
