This is a well-produced film with good performances by all the actors. However, the climax of Listener leaves the viewer a bit under-whelmed. This could perhaps be blamed on the format of a short film where the creator is confined by the duration. <br><br> Yet there is a distinct need for the crescendo to rise in a different manner. The protagonist of the short film works at a restaurant where people pay him to listen to them talk. Listener, thus, also becomes a comment on the loneliness in society where despite friends, family and a job, people have to pay to get heard. Bottomline? It's a good film with a great concept, but there's an inexplainable sense of something being absent.

Listener | Short Film of the Day

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. <br><br> '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.
