When a group of friends are confined to a single house during the national lockdown following the coronavirus pandemic, of course the most hilarious and chaotic events are in tow. Adopting the stylistic approach of a mockumentary, the film shares its narrative with the viewer, allowing them to participate in all the hullabaloo that the house holds within itself. As its bound to be, the lockdown experience is complete with Ramayana telecasts, failed attempts to agree on a game, domestic chores that everyone slacks from, hidden packets of noodles and the complete loss of the concept of private space. The film exhibits skilled visuals and editing, and a dedication to weave and structure its story smartly. It fabricates its fictive space right at the heart of a real event, allowing the endeavour to be a successful one. While the plot becomes predictable at some instances, the progression of events it offers remains organic and smooth nevertheless, eventually allowing the film to ease into its conclusion.

Bhasad is a laugh riot! From start to finish the film keeps getting better. Comedy is the most difficult
genre to attempt and deliver, and Bhasad surprises you with the ease with which it achieves that goal. 
The film is a situational comedy, with an element of the buddy film, and a pinch of suspense; all of
which make for a cackling combination, while also revealing Vanshika Sharma as a filmmaker to definitely watch
out for! 
The best part of the narrative is that it doesn’t take itself seriously in its tone or the projection it throws on
the viewer. So, the film may seem a bit raw or rough around the edges, but don’t let that fool
you. In fact, a comedy is meant to do just that, come across silly. But the devil is in the detail. It is a film
of not too many words, but each joke lands!

Bhasad | Short Film of the Day

A corporate employee living in a big, crowded city ends up feeling lonely and distraught. Hoping to dissolve this inner turmoil with physical intimacy, the protagonist, Anubhav uses an online agency to appoint a sex worker, Supriti. 
On the day of the scheduled meeting, they go out for a cup of coffee upon Anubhav’s request and later for sightseeing at old fortresses and tombs. He takes an interest in Supriti’s life, asks about her family, their condition and so on. After their visit, Anubhav suggests that they keep meeting as friends and build a relationship of trust and understanding. However, despite the predictably positive direction the narrative could have been headed in, the film instead expands on the notion of love simply serving as an escape from impending loneliness.
