Ahead of Father’s Day, Blush’ latest offering is about a nervous, newly married’s woman’s relationship with her father-in-law. The narrative is plotted against the background of an India-Pakistan cricket match. <br><br> As they watch the match together, the memory of the 1996 World Cup, where India and Pakistan played in the same team against Sri Lanka, is invoked. While reminding the viewer of a heartwarming memory in the history of the World Cup, the young woman finds a similar emotional space with her father-in-law that she had once found wit her own father. Released amidst the World Cup hysteria that has gripped the nation, the short film is simple, endearing and makes for a wholesome watch.

Unexpected Partnership | Short Film of the Day

One of the worst outcomes of this has been with regards to gender. <br><br> The short film by Culture Machine discusses the same concern - pressures of being a woman, whether you subscribe to gender norms or not. Society's expectations are such that no matter which side of the spectrum you're on, there's still a need to conform. The reason behind this, as the film itself points out, is that people fear what they don't understand. Here's a well-intentioned attempt to change that.
