“Konkana Sen Sharma is beautiful in this 20-odd minute short film. Her acting, her expressions, and sometimes lack of it beautifully sum up the character whou0026#39;s happier now but finds herself out of place, rejected and alone.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eGazal Dhaliwal writes a story that cuts deep but the direction, to my untrained arm-chair critic eye, left a bit wanting. All that relative to what you expect from a slow-paced art movie thatu0026#39;s romantically set in monsoons. You get my point. But that said, acting and the issue it champions make up for it. Go watch!”
