Life in Lockdown

By Saloni Sakhardande with 6.5

documentary · Short Films · hindi

The film offers an interesting non-fiction account of the life and times during the Covid-19 lockdown, as the title suggests, but from the point of view of an old couple. This is what allows it to bring a potential uniqueness to the storytelling.

From skipped walks which can no longer be taken in a public space like a park, to struggling with the technology absolutely needed to now stay in touch with loved ones, the narrative invokes it all. The story simply then becomes about a moment in time, one we are all too familiar with, allowing it a fresh breath of air by virtue of the protagonists the film employs to share it.
