When the character is strong, the plot finds its own way and the story tells itself. This short film goes ahead to prove precisely that. Dadi Ki Rasoi is a beautiful documentation of a man's efforts to make this world a better place. Noida resident Anoop Khanna has been selling meals to locals at as low a price as Rs 5 since 2015. In a world where things sometimes seem too bleak for comfort, attempts like his remind you that all is not lost just yet. Echoing the same thought, Khanna accepts that if an action is willed with a clean heart, it is bound to prosper and thrive. Here's a reminder that when all is said and done, just doing your bit to help society is sometimes more than enough.

Food unites us in more ways than one and it truly is the way to someone's heart. This ad film conveys it in the most beautiful manner through the portrayal of love between two colleagues.

Further, The Colleagues goes to show that the mere act of sharing your lunch is sometimes all the kindness someone needs. Also, sharing and giving sets a cycle of love in motion, and once it's begun, there's no stopping it.

The short film is a refreshing take on the age-old dad-in-the-kitchen trope that is often employed in a comical narrative. Chhoti Biryani uses it most effortlessly and manages to tickle your funny bone while maintaining a harmonious, festive cheer throughout. The film also subtly attempts to address the communally charged atmosphere of the country by showing an average, visibly traditional Hindu father-son duo craving non-veg food on the occasion of Chhoti Diwali.

Directed by Imtiaz Ali, this ad film has the endearing quality which is characteristic of the Indian director. Starring Ishwak Singh (of the Veere Di Wedding fame), the ad film shows a boy trying to impress the family of his betrothed. As he is put to several tests by her seven burly brothers, he finds himself failing miserably at all of them. However, love (for food) conquers all, and this short film attempts to prove this adage true. This ad film is a refreshing break from wedding-centric commercial, especially marked by its near-complete absence of women. However, as the viewer ends up rooting for Singh's character, the underdog, will he be able to win the girl's family over?

Seldom do we ponder how much hard work goes behind every bite of food we eat. ThankYouKisaan by IndoFarm is a short film paying tribute to our farmers, the unsung heroes our nation. It quickly flits across daytimes, geographies and class boundaries, showing how it is inevitably linked to food, and we should be grateful to the ones producing it.

The short film has a wonderful message for the viewer - the universal nature of faith. No matter the name we choose for them, Bhagwan or Allah, they are all the same indeed. The strength of the film lies in its writing - how it uses the innocent questions of a child to remind grownups - the simplicity of a truth they have forgotten while raising imaginary walls and boundaries. Laddoo is a good short film, but what keeps it from being great is its massy nature. While keeping its audience in mind, it perhaps attempted to reach out to a larger section of society. This could perhaps explain why it rides so high on emotions, bordering on becoming maudlin in parts. All in all, a decently produced piece of art which deserves brownie points for the intention it sets out with.
