Ahalya

The writer director has blatantly copied the entire concept of Room 8 and garnered accolades for himself.

It wasn't a thriller at all. At least, it got a few things right, like the soundtrack, the plot and the action. It is quite annoying the fact that it's both in Indian and English. You start losing interest. Anyway, the main character was my point of attention. He did his job well and had a really good interpretation.

In general, we are not very used to short films but now as the new filmmakers are full of new ideas and know their craft well enough, it is the right time for this cinema to make a mark. So here it is, AHALYA. Made within a duration of a bit less than 15 minutes, this film is a perfect combination of a good story and reasonably great direction by Sujoy Ghosh. Also, the acting of all the three lead actors goes well with the drama. The suspense which is revealed in the last minutes is breathtaking and beautifully executed. Finally, I would say this film will bring about an era of short films which is here to stay. Overall, 9/10 for this one.

You suppose the end , simmilar to Alma by Rodrigo Blaas. But you are seduced by beautiful work of. Soumitra Chatterjee, provoked by the relation older husband - young wife and , maybe, you ignore the meaning of title.

So, you is perfect victim of the charm of this beautiful crafted Indian short film about a policeman , the dissapear of a model, a cup of tea and a stone with magical virtues and falling dolls .

The end is , so, less surprising, remembering the price of pleasure based on apparences.

Inspired by one of Ramayana episodes , it is a perfect portrait of simple weakness of man . And about his curiosity .

So, just fascinating story, admirable acted and proposing, in soft , precise manner, its moral.
