The one thing you can definitely count on in a film by Euphoria's Palash Sen is the music, and Iktarfa goes ahead to prove that. Starring his son Kinshuk Sen along with a melodious OST, the film is three hours of Bollywood romance, emotions and drama condensed into thirty-minutes. <br><br> The story is a classic love triangle where the boy decides to help his beloved with her own separate love life. But where would it leave the homely, kind-hearted protagonist the audience begins to root for? Join these lovebirds on their journey to find out.

Iktarfa | Short Film of the Day

A single mother is at the end of her rope, battling all kinds of financial and emotional difficulties. She struggles to find accommodation for her young daughter and herself in the chaotic landscape of Mumbai. 

Along with neighbors who play loud music, and brokers who make tall promises about buildings that are falling apart before her eyes, she is also met with professional rejections. <br><br>

The narrative’s most crucial flourish, however, lies in the juxtaposition it draws between an innocent moment of pure joy that the protagonist shares with her daughter, and a soul-crushing reality for her which must be braved in order to survive. The title of the film, a portmanteau for ‘mom’ and ‘bae’, a mother and a lover, is further realized in this instance which, though not devoid of rough edges, is earnest and adroit in its intentions and their portrayal.
