Sab Nazar Ka Khel Hai

drama · Short Films · hindi

A film needs to be made, but no actors are to be found due to a raging pandemic. What happens next in such a scenario? Well, you go ahead and make it anyway with a bit of jugaad (make-shifting) and a bit of imagination.

This film uses objects, a guitar and a pair of glasses, as its lead characters. We see the story from both their perspectives, quite literally, as the gaze of the camera moves from one to the other.

However, despite the cheeky dialogue and voice-over, along with interesting camera angles, the lifelessness of the objects becomes apparent as they remain put in similar positions and spots throughout the film. It would have been nice to move them around more, allowing a dynamic element to the film as well.
