When Baz Luhrman says your siblings are a link to your past and most likely to stick with you in the future, does it hold true for all sibling equations? The short film will engage with this concern as it takes you into the life of two sisters, one studying on the eve of her exam, the other having just returned from a long day at work. As the two find themselves at the centre of several subsequent quarrels, Sweet and Sour progresses to reveal a grave truth. Does a relationship between two sisters always have to be of love and nurturing? How does this truth about their relationship affect their already conflicted equation? The film, in its short duration, would raise and attempt to answer all of these questions, and in the process, leave the audience with a unique aspect of a sibling relationship.

Sweet and Sour |  Short Film of the Day

When you deal with a topic like gender, there is the danger of running into repetition and monotony. The content around the topic has set the bar very high and a film has to be especially unique to eschew these problems. It would be safe to say that Kahi Suni, the second episode of the series - Sisterhood Tales by Blush, comes midway in this journey. When it starts, it does not set the horizon of expectation too high - it's the story of yet another woman who's trying to balance work with her family's expectations. However the short film becomes a little more interesting as she sits in her cab to find a woman driver. From there, the narrative only goes higher and higher. During the course of her ride, she also finds out that the driver is specially abled. In the process, the film leaves the viewer with a subtle but impactful message about how we view people who are different from us. It further reiterates that simply by standing up for each other, we can make our struggles easier, even if slightly so.

The short film by Naik Foundation presents to the viewer a lovely portrayal of a brother-sister relationship. As the former wakes up to go to school, the latter ensures that he is ready in time for it every morning. However, amidst all of this, the attention is drawn to the fact that she is not given same opportunities as her brother regarding education. By using the innocence of the little boy, the film not only draws attention to it, but also makes the viewer question it. There is further an exploration of how even well-meaning Indian households might not give education of the girl child the attention it deserves and urgently needs.

Sisters | Short Film of the Day

Sometimes ignoring yourself while taking care of others becomes an unconscious choice and we don't realise when we leave the self behind. One such story is Sibling's Love which shows a girl looking after two of her younger brothers.

But maybe this Diwali, someone else has noticed this too, and therein lies a little surprise. What is it? Watch this short film to find out.

Sibling's Love | Short Film Nominee

The film is an endearing story about a brother introducing the viewer to his sister. The film is equipped with a deep desire to tell its story, and offers a sincere attempt at that despite its limited resources. Marked by a piano rendition of Que Sera Sera, and a subject who is defined by her eccentricities, the film puts its narrative across. It's tone and approach reveals the filmmaker's exposure to films in the same strain as Amélie or Wes Anderson's body of work. Consequently, it employs exaggerated characteristics of its main subject to generate humour, but never at the expense of the character herself, making it a sweet, heartfelt product worked upon and presented forth by a sibling duo.

My Sister and Hand-Me-Downs | Short Film Nominee

The short film opens with a sentiment that gives no suggestion or hint of the direction it is headed in. From a note of lightheartedness and humour, it soon transforms to one of grief and agony, and that perhaps is the point it aims to put across. The innocence of two children headed to the local village fare is juxtaposed against the image of forced maturity in childhood. The film further draws attention to the plight of farmers in India and the repercussions their families have to battle with in the face of all the financial difficulty. It further talks about the importance of women and young girls in keeping their families afloat amidst it all. The film endeavours a wholesome approach to the topic and manages to convey its message notably.
