If a horror story is executed expertly, it can lead you to instinctively look around for company, to ensure you are not alone and vulnerable for whatever fictional monster or demon you have just encountered on screen. However, the flip side to it is the high possibility of it all going wrong and leaving you with cringe-inducing humour. Fortunately, Mukho-Churi falls in the first category and catches the viewer by terrifying shock at what unfolds before them. The film deserves a especial mention for its visual effects and the usage of sound, two elements which make it succeed. It is late at night as two professionals light a cigarette, share a horror story and get back to work. However, because of a mistake, a simple act of forgetfulness, a very dark twist awaits the characters. In a world that is plagued by witch-hunts and cruelty, what would be their fate?

The short film is a heartfelt exploration of a fan's admiration for Amitabh Bachchan. The protagonist is no other than a familiar granny-figure who sits by herself, engaging in a household chore. The visuals make a pretty picture of a zesty woman deftly working her fingers through the peas in her lap as she gushes over the senior Bachchan. While the protagonist might modestly downplay her dedication to the actor, there is more than a little warmth to be found in her naming a dozen of his films in a single breath. The ad has an innocent intention which it manages to communicate to the viewer in an endearing manner. It's approach is one which is complete with brevity and effortless humour, further allowing it to be a lighthearted, fun watch.
