The music video juxtaposes the highs and lows of love for a couple which is drowning in the intensity of its own emotions. With the magical vocals of Prateek Kuhad, the song becomes a very poignant take on romance which is fierce, passionate and sometimes, heartbreaking. Following in the footsteps of many artists before him, a recent example being that of Ed Sheeran, Kuhad also makes a cameo in the video. With the depiction of the cyclical nature of relationships, Cold/Mess makes the viewer conclude that though love can be overwhelming, suffocating and bitter, it's also tangy and sweet and something worth a try, much like a lemon tart.

Cold/Mess | Short Film of the Day

Uncut footage of one Prateek Kuhad video has made it to another about a year after the first one came out. Using extra shots from Cold Mess, starring Jim Sarbh and Zoya Hussain, the video of Into the Night takes the viewer once again into the intimate corners of a relationship. As the couple navigates around the various moments of loneliness, isolation, laughter and some good old kissing, Kuhad's gentle singing supplement the video to make it a well-rounded product. The vibe as well as the general atmosphere created by the vocals and the visuals are similar to Cold Mess and thus serve as an extra treat for the admirers of the original song.

The video marks ten years of a campaign that was started by actor and director Nandita Das under the Women of Worth NGO in 2009. Called Dark is Beautiful, the campaign attempts to fight discrimination against a dark complexion in India, a country which is made up of 1.3 billion people. The visuals include short sketches and a huge cast of different actors questioning the supremacy of fair skin in India, especially when it comes to defining beauty standards and ascribing value to a person. The cast, in an all-black attire, sings along to a song that questions the erasure of this particular kind of diversity in a country as massive as India.
