Directed by Imtiaz Ali, this ad film has the endearing quality which is characteristic of the Indian director. Starring Ishwak Singh (of the Veere Di Wedding fame), the ad film shows a boy trying to impress the family of his betrothed. As he is put to several tests by her seven burly brothers, he finds himself failing miserably at all of them. However, love (for food) conquers all, and this short film attempts to prove this adage true. <br><br> This ad film is a refreshing break from wedding-centric commercial, especially marked by its near-complete absence of women. However, as the viewer ends up rooting for Singh's character, the underdog, will he be able to win the girl's family over? 

#OneBiryaniOneFamily | Short Film of the Day

This film by Imtiaz Ali is yet another attempt to steal a glance at the unconventional aspects of romantic relationships, much like most of his previous work. Complete with a love triangle and a non-linear chronology, the film also attempts a comment on freedom. <br><br> It delineates two characters, each with struggles of their own - a bride-to-be getting cold-feet and a young man headed towards his coming of age moment. But will they find what they are looking for or will the crippling fear of losing themselves stand in the way? Another product by Imtiaz Ali which deserves a mention for its intentions and idea, but not so much for its execution.
