One never doubts Dobriyal’s comic timing or his rustic persona but even Isha shows untapped potential which deserves to be highlighted. The word is not just a Sanskrit word for offering something to sacred fire but is an emotion when you spoil something beyond redemption. And it’s enough to leave you impressed not just with Divya’s character arc but also how a woman finds courage inside herself.Īmid films that leave an impact is also Deepak Dobriyal and Isha Talwar’s short and spicy Swaaha.
The hard-hitting tale of a woman’s test of tolerance until she can’t take it anymore shows her killing two birds with one stone. And nothing explains it better than Thappad and another short featuring Divya Dutta as an ill-treated housewife in Sleeping Partner. We don’t know how strong we are until being strong is the only option. Shafin Patel in a still from Thappad from Zindagi inShort. With pin drop silence, slow motion and a frame in which the maker focuses on bullying rather than the bullies, the storyteller conveys the point - power doesn’t bring about a change, it’s the courage to stand up that does. True to its title, Thappad echoes for hours as a child stands up for his sister by doing the unthinkable. But the brilliance with which it has been shot on just an iPhone with the bundle of talent that is Shafin Patel, it comes across as an empowering statement against bullying. Directed by Vinay Chhawaal, this film centres around a brother-sister duo in a distant village with the two being the only characters. One can’t arrange these marvels in any order but Thappad is my clear favourite. The slice-of-life stories have the ability to bestow you with the gift of smile - and not just a slight tug of the upper lip but an ear-to-ear grin. Oscar winning filmmaker Guneet Monga has picked up seven such stories, seven short films that describe the various facets of our life and called it Zindagi inShort. Call it resilience or what you will but hope for a better future, a happier tomorrow keeps us going. Every day brings its challenges, every moment of happiness seems to have a sting in its tail. Most will be stumped if told to summarise their life, asked for their Zindagi inShort.
