This could have been a three-minute commercial, but Director Vinay Chhawa chooses not just to repeat his scenes verbatim but also tell half the story in slow motion.

The characterisation of an old lady feeling lonely is repeated in Nano So Phobia, where Swaroop Sampat feels ignored by her kith and kin. ![]() No, this Tahira Kashyap directed short film doesn't work. Themes as powerful as these have been crafted and explored in the films in small doses, that offer bittersweet flavored entertainment.The characters around her, be it her husband, daughter, maid, sister-in-law or even courier boy, are shown to be in inherently rude or indifferent towards her. These films touch upon online romance, the innocence of childhood, the confusion of old age, the construct of being loved in a marriage, infidelity, a woman owning her role in the family and standing up for yourself when it’s the hardest to do so.
