Enjoyed and related to every bit of it. The film speaks for everyone who feels lost in the digital world of modern dating culture. More movies like this needs to come out from gen z filmmakers who can talk about their lived realities. The cast, the crew, the whole team did a great job. The acting style is very documentary like, doesnt feel performative, and the camera style is very dogma95 inspired. It's crazy how they pulled it off in minimum budget. The emotions and expressions are very nuanced in the film just like how we react in our real life. This is a perfect depiction of current youth.

Relished it ..it was one of the most genuine amazing film without asking for any "aww", "so sad" or anything for that matter. . It never became a pity party or it never shamed any behaviour.. it Just showed how things are. It didn't villainise anything either .. Just raw and true.

And yes loved the documentary style of editing.

Would wait for next work from the filmmaker.

Queer/trans representations are rarely this raw , unsettling, relatable, genuine and most importantly entertaining. It manages to make you laugh at the oddest possible turn of events deliberately, no reaction from any scene is unintentional. Such a self aware piece of work.

First of all, The cinematography. It seemed so real I was like how did they even shot such real life event in away that doesn't even feel like its a movie. Its like a hidden camera recoding moments. Dialogues, acting, playful nature of each character. Hats off to all and Congratulations for achieving a Milestone at Kashish Pride Film Festival. Meeting you first hand was a different experience and after watching your Work of Art, respect and administration skyrocketed

Please do more like these we need such content out there to wake people and come to their senses.

Lovee your work and dedication.

Watched this beautiful film on 19th may in Kashish film festival and i feel Bonita Rajpurohit has done a fine job It wouldn't have been easy to pull this off so effortlessly but then the director and also Acting the Film has now got the responsiblity of moving only upwards from the sky as she has marvelled the genre with this gem Lovely how she used the satire to slap the people with the decayung mentality. The cinematography the editing the sound all on point and could not have asked for anything more but a longer film but guess what it does maked it look like a perfect picture Fun,Emotional and a Tearjerker !

**Film Review: "If You Know, You Know"**

"If You Know, You Know" follows Kusum, a young woman navigating the unpredictable world of online dating. The film takes a grounded approach to modern romance, focusing on the excitement, awkwardness, and emotional vulnerability of meeting new people digitally.

Kusum's journey is filled with relatable moments, from the thrill of a perfect match to the sting of ghosting or mismatched expectations. What makes the film stand out is its portrayal of the quiet introspection that happens behind the scenes-how each interaction, good or bad, impacts Kusum's view of herself and relationships.

The story unfolds with subtle humor and emotional depth, showing the challenges of balancing vulnerability with guardedness. The cinematography smartly shifts between light, airy moments of connection and more intimate, introspective scenes where Kusum reflects on her desires and boundaries.

While the film avoids the overly dramatic or idealized portrayal of online dating, it sometimes falls into predictable plotlines. However, Kusum's character, with her charm and complexity, keeps the narrative engaging.

Ultimately, "If You Know, You Know" is a refreshing take on modern dating, capturing both its lighthearted moments and the deeper emotional questions it raises about connection, self-worth, and vulnerability.
