We Wake Up is a powerful rap by Karma (Vivek Arora) about the bleakness of the world. While talking about the selfishness of people who are too lost in superficialities, the video subtly hints at the corruption and dissatisfaction with political and administrative leaders. Made as a reminder to wake up in the year 2019, the video also talks about how in the rat-race of getting more likes and hollow fame on social media, people are willingly closing their eyes to all that's wrong around them. But will this be the year they wake up?

The highlight of the film is definitely the simple, fixed frames that it utilises very efficiently for a good viewing experience. Add to it a lovely, most apt soundtrack for the storyline and voila! The News opens with a past lover visiting a girl on New Year's eve. A flashback to three years ago gives the viewer a glimpse into their relationship. However, sit tight till the very end to find out why he is here after three years. The News is the kind of short film that would make you forget about looking at your phone, stop eating whatever snack you're munching on, and pay full attention, and that indeed is saying a lot, won't you agree?

The News | Short Film of the Day

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. 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.
