The short film takes us into the life of Snehal,a young boy trying to survive in a world that expects him to adjust at every step. From his name to his clothes to his house - everything becomes a matter of adjustment. As the protagonist moves from one aspect of his life to another, will he find an escape from this web of constant compromises? Perhaps the answer lies in a plate of khichdi when he asked for biryani instead. Why We Love Adjusting is beautifully shot, written and structured with endearing performances and an effervescent voice-over. It's exactly the kind of wholesome content you need on a rainy day.

Why We Love Adjusting | Short Film of the Day

Some of the most intense and intimate familial battles are fought between a mother and her daughter. Often a mother is the most incapable of understanding why her daughter rejects the decisions that she had made in her time without a second thought. Beans Aloo is one such conversation between two women about motherhood. The film is subtly written and carries the message across in the most impactful manner. The duo argue out their ideas of motherhood and leave the audience with the hope that in an ideal world, consensus is indeed possible and achievable.

The latest offering by Blush is about the age-old debate - beauty versus brains. The discussion ties up with gender as two women argue if beauty for intelligent women is empowering or not. The film is simply a conversation between three of them, one for, one against and the third somewhere in the centre. They are made to sit side by side in a fixed frame, suggesting how they are all equals in this debate. It further offers a glimpse into the conversation around beauty which might not be entirely unique, but is much needed and imperative for us to go forward as a society.

It's a busy morning, a woman is readying herself for work, her daughter for school and a cup of coffee for her husband. But where does she fit in all this rush? This is what the short film questions on the occasion of Women's Day. If we move past the tokenism of this day, women need to be respected and looked at as any other human being - complete with their qualities as well as flaws. Badlaav reminds the viewer of the need for this change in our thought and action when it comes to our relationships with women. Will you be part of it?

The short film starts on a lighthearted note which is why when the intensity builds up in the last few seconds of the film, it is significantly jarring for the audience. Invoking the terrible memory of the Elphinstone stampede in Mumbai in September 2017, the short film shows an average day in the life of a man living in the city. It further draws attention to how irresponsible statements can cause irreversible damage. With a reminder to always be wary of hearsay in public space which might result in panic and have far-reaching consequences, the short film succeeds in making the viewer sit up and think.

The most efficient way to normalise a reality is to portray it in art as a normalised reality. This short film applies the same formula and succeeds at it most wonderfully. '377 अब Normal' is a film about a boy fighting with his parents to buy him a motorbike. However, the twist is that just when the audience expects his mother to walk out and intervene the lighthearted quarrel between him and his father, another father walks out. With its effervescence and complete lack of exaggerated plot devices, the short film leaves the audience with an important message - it's love and not the gender of the parents that determine a healthy household for the wellbeing of the family.

This Navratri, Blush has a new song for you, an attempt to remind you of the importance of safe sex and consent. The video cites data about the rise in the sale of emergency contraceptives and illegal abortions during the festive season to convey its message emphatically. The use of music, song and dance is employed to talk about three couples about to have sex. However, all three situations come with their own individual warnings and a lesson to take home for the viewer without sounding didactic.
