The narrative is concise, but powerful, simple, but coherent and clear in communicating its message. With a voiceover throughout, it is devoid of any other dialogue. Instead, it backs it with lovely visuals of colours and happiness of the festival of Holi. As a transgender woman gets ready in front of her mirror, she raises poignant questions about the location of her community in society. In essence, the film is direct and straight in putting forth what it intends to say - the need for a dialogue that invokes equality for all irrespective of their sexual identity and gender. As the woman completes her process of getting ready, she steps out to embrace the colours, smiles and all that the festival has to offer. The narrative concludes with the impactful image of her walking across the whirlwind of swirling colours into the possibility of a world that would, perhaps one day, finally cease to marginalise her.

The short film is an endearing exploration of their bond and the manner in which generation gap fits in there. In case you were wondering how to celebrate #AsliHoli, how about this short film that will leave you with a few ideas about spreading love and colour.

Asli Holi | Short Film of the Day

The short film invokes emotions of kindness, innocence and the far-reaching impact of a simple act born out of affection and warmth. It also draws parallels between the privileged and those who are less fortunate. The story is short and concise and spans the duration of a single event one afternoon. As kids gather to play with colours (perhaps on Holi) and their water guns, there is another reality unfolding not far from them that locates itself on the other end of the spectrum. However, when the two overlap, what endearing turn will the narrative take?

Berangi | Short Film of the Day

A watchman of a neighbourhood park ensures that no child from outside the colony can play there. By
the neighbourhood, he means the kids from bourgeois families who live in the houses around the park.
A child from a less advantageous economic background too wishes to play, but he is kept out. Now, it is
Holi and he wishes to join the other children. So, one of the kids from the colony finds a way to include him in the
celebrations. 
The film is meant to set an example of inclusive behavior for adults who create differences and
inequalities.
