Brothers Arnav and Pranav Bhasin are at it again with this Terribly Tiny Talkies' production. Ditched is the story of a boy, played by Arnav Bhasin, trying to find a last minute date for a couples' party. The short film depicts a situation which is relatable for several young viewers - the struggle to not end up alone around the festive time of the year. <br><br> As the protagonist attempts to find a date, the situation soon spirals out of control. There is almost a humorous quality to it which is handled expertly by director Pranav Bhasin. The beauty of the short film lies the most in the handheld camera frames that follow the protagonist on a walk as he discusses his plight with a friend on the phone. Though there is the danger of the narrative sagging a little after a point, Ditched earns full points for pulling it back into tautness.

Ditched | Short Film of the Day

The filmmaker shares that she was inspired by the Netflix series, Dark, to make this film. 
While the film is far from any sense of comparison for the viewer who has not seen the series, it is nevertheless quite funny. <br><br> A girl is casually taking a usual stroll on her terrace when she has an
encounter with her future self. The latter is dressed in astronaut clothing with a silver helmet made
of foil paper, and has pink hair, which wouldn’t be funny if it weren’t an aware ridicule of the genre. As
soon as the girl from the future introduces herself, the girl from the present, instead of “freaking out” as
is expected of her, starts off on a rant, “What the hell is wrong with you, time-travelling
twits?” What follows next is surely hilarious!
