The short narrative is well-intentioned and wants to make a comment about unity and secularism. Ahead of Independence Day, a radio show discusses the many issues plaguing the country in the name of communal discord. <br><br> 

Alongside this is a scene around a bonfire where four soldiers, each of a different faith, sit alongside each other, ready to fight together in the name of protecting the nation. It is through the contrast of these two scenarios that Idukkan Kalai (The Tribulation) hopes to share its message with the viewer, and echo its message of futility of discrimination as well as of the importance of peace and harmony.


Idukkan Kalai | Short Film Nominee

Musugu or The Mask takes a literal approach to the idea of people hiding their true intentions behind the masks they wear by concealing the faces of all its actors except for the protagonist. It wants to be a glimpse into the insincerity of the world where a man faces disappointment in love, career and friendship. With nowhere to turn, he is only left with this realisation that everyone around him always hid their true face from him by hiding behind their masks. <br><Br> The video is well-intentioned but needs more fine-tuning in the department of sound and visuals.
