Kaun Hoon.. | Short Film Nominee

The short film is well-meaning and straightforward in its intentions. It presents an average morning in the lives of two characters, each representative of a religious community. As they go about their day, their paths overlap under the most unlikely circumstance - an accidental emergency. A man lies smeared in blood on the side of a road. The men immediately jump to his rescue, ensuring that he gets the much-needed first aid in a hospital, with a slight suggestion within the narrative of his religious identity. 
Without any dialogue, and entirely by way of visual action, the film presents its idea of unity in diversity, and how it can achieve peace and harmony if we only view each other as human beings who all bleed the same.

In the Name Of | Short Film Nominee

While there may be a difference of religious and cultural identity between people, kindness truly is a universal language and sentiment. The short film explains the same premise to the viewer by taking them into the life of two flatmates of the Hindu and the Muslim faith. Irrespective of the disagreements that arise in their day-to-day lives, they have learnt to find a common space of love and peace, suggests the story. To assert the same point, there is a surprise waiting for one of them, as well as the audience, at the conclusion of the film. Lastly, the narrative also has a message about India's cultural harmony being part of its national fabric, one which also serves as a reminder that its inherent values should never be forgotten or overlooked.

The film explicitly or implicitly addresses two big issues of contemporary Indian debate at this point in

film, so it is hard to say if the film really strives to make an urgent political comment. 

It is a story of three children, who once planted a flag in the ground and stationed a make-shift post to
honour the martyrs who were killed in the war. After some years, an ‘Army Temple’ was established at
the same spot as a monument to forever remember the sacrifices of the brave soldiers. By creating protagonists belonging to different religions, namely Hinduism, Islam and Christianity, who
are all serving in the Indian army to safeguard the interests of the nation state, the film seeks to
promote the message of secularism.
