No doubt, LOCKDOWN was the best decision by the central govt - good for the huge indian population. But unfortunately, things arent jolly & good for everyone! ❣️ Glad, we came stronger out of it..

[@ggunga7764]

Felt sorry for some in India! The government did not do much for the poor!

वाह बिटिया वाह,,, गजब का अभिनय,,,,
मेरा विश्वास है ये मूवी किसी बड़े prize को डिजर्व करती है ।
आज पूरे घर को रुला दिया आपके अभिनय ने ।
एक कुशल निर्देशन में बनी ये short film कोरोना की त्रासदी एवं लॉक डाउन के एक अनछुए पहलू को उजागर करती है ।
ईश्वर करे भविष्य में तुम अभिनय की और ऊंचाइयां छुओ।
BEST OF LUCK

Thank you so much uncle. 🙏🥰🙏

[@debasishghosh4312]

A compassionate concept by Rakhi Debnath was a timely message indeed! The characterization of Brishti was nicely depicted by Veera Jain. Editing and Audio were also good. The cinematography and direction by Aritra Sen were impressive. I wish this short film a grand success!
I'm looking forward to more such work from this team.

Wonderful acting, Veera! You're a natural! 🙌
Really liked the subtle motif drawn from that evening ritual! 🙂
Loved it when the camera moved up vertically with Brishti climbing the stairs - fusing in the David Fincher touch! 😃
With me being in stuck alone, the first few minutes were totally relatable! Kudos to the writer for so meticulously covering the whole scene of those horrible 2 months! 👏
An amazing start to what I hope would be a long & celebrated journey, Veera!
Long way to go! Goodluck! 🤘

Really...got a new perspective of "thali bajana"...we used to laugh it off..but we never realised, while existing in joint families, what it could have meant for those left alone... Brilliantly made and presented..Most motivating movie I have seen on the Covid situation..the twist was the ending..no one can ever imagine things would turn around as you have made them that too so believably and naturally... Kudos to the whole team and Congratulations for setting the benchmark! 🎉❤

[@munmunghosh4132]

A gripping film on the tragedy Corona unleashed in the world! Congratulations to the whole team and the director above all! The film again provokes thought on feminism, which persuades all young women to believe today that marrying, having a family and managing the house is bad, and you have to do a corporate job to be successful and happy in life. The truth is corporate jobs are hollow, uncreative, and rarely satisfying to women. That is why corporates give heavy 'compensation' to employees. Really hope young Indian women would not get swayed by foreign ideologies like feminism, and follow their hearts, their natural desires and script their lives.

Such a beautiful concept, and I love how Veera has portrayed it!
I’m deeply moved… Yes, Covid-19 was challenging, yet it brought profound lessons for us all. It helped us discover new passions, learn resilience, cherish every moment, value our families, and, as the sanki uncle said, ‘finding courage’ when it mattered most.
Rest in peace to those who lost their lives, but more power and strength to those who found the will to live! 🤞🏻🧿💙
