This short film is not meant for a quiet, cold night when you are alone with your thoughts and their many complexities. It will offer you several voices, but only one face. As Kalki Koechlin skilfully shoulders the narrative with an unsurprisingly brilliant performance, she moves from one life situation to another with only voices of invisible characters to accompany her. Do they exist in real life or are they only a figment of her imagination? This is one of the many questions the film will not answer for you. A loose understanding of the narrative suggests a murder (probably of her dreams?) and the protagonist's perpetual struggle with the Lady Macbeth effect as she keeps washing her hands vigorously. The compulsion to earn money for an ailing family member, the constant instructions of a boss and the desperate need to hold down a job have pinned her to her desk. But is there any escape at hand?

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. If you jumped to the idea of romantic love then you will stand corrected by this campaign called #EveryDayLove. 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.

This Bombay Diaries production, though from 2017, becomes very relevant in the post #MeToo world. While more and more women come forward with their stories of sexual assault and harassment, this short film gives us a glimpse into the struggles of a woman who attempts to step out of the confines of her house in a patriarchal world. It’s time we stopped brushing workplace harassment under the carpet and instead called out the harassers, affirms Her. She may have been forced into silence, be it literal where she has forgotten to raise her voice, or metaphorical where she covers her skin, ties up her hair or refuses to wear make-up, but push her any further, and she will fight back, supported by all her fellow women. Watch Her as a confirmation of how time is truly up and women will no longer suffer in mute silence.

The latest offering by Blush is about the age-old debate - beauty versus brains. The discussion ties up with gender as two women argue if beauty for intelligent women is empowering or not. The film is simply a conversation between three of them, one for, one against and the third somewhere in the centre. They are made to sit side by side in a fixed frame, suggesting how they are all equals in this debate. It further offers a glimpse into the conversation around beauty which might not be entirely unique, but is much needed and imperative for us to go forward as a society.
