Lockdown Blues

dramedy · Short Films · hindi

A tween boy has made the massive mistake of violating the privacy of his two elder sisters. Add to it the reality of a pandemic where everyone is recovering from a coronavirus infection, is confined within close quarters, and no external distraction is available in the form of school or classes, and we have a fully prepared recipe for chaos at our hands. It is the same reality which is realized by the non-fiction narrative of the film. By way of the documentation of the fight among the three siblings, the film offers a funny, lucid and pretty straightforward communication of its intentions.

The idea to turn around a mundane, everyday aspect of the lives of the siblings into an engaging narrative further exhibits potential, albeit showing a want of some tautness in its progression of events. Overall, the final product is endearing, sweet and heartwarming in its innocence and sincerity.
