Nikhil D'Souza ropes in Kalki Koechlin for his latest music video. The visuals are simple - a couple standing against a black background in an undefined space as their entire story unfolds before the viewer. <br><br> The narrative is about two lovers and maps the different stages of love - from union to parting. There is nothing extraordinary the video has to offer by way of visuals or the vocals it is backed by. However, it uses a pretty imagery of stars, soulmates and galaxies, also conveyed in the colour palette and supporting visuals, more than likely to strike a chord with romantics as well as D'Souza  fans.

Nikhil D'souza - Sitaare | Kalki Koechlin | Short Film Nominee

The film is short, but crisp and potentially powerful when it comes to the idea it aims to convey. A woman is all dressed up as a bride and is about to get married. Before she steps out to walk towards the wedding party, she receives a call from her mother. <br><br> The story is weaved smartly because the call immediately makes the viewer question why is the mother not present by her daughter's side. Apparently, there is conflict with the father which has resulted in this. As a nervous, but determined bride begins her walk towards the altar, there awaits a celebration of love that transcends all societal and normative constructs.
