Second episode I feel sets a wrong precedence. The guy forces himself on a woman and woman eventually surrenders and ultimately acknowledges that it was the best sex she ever had. It was wrong on so many level.

The first two stories, pinni and sleeping partner were good, sends a message. Sunny side up and chajhu ke balle were sweet and heart warming. But all seems a bit incomplete or missing details for short length. Thappad and swaaha did not seem good to me at all. I would individually rate both really low. Nano sa sapna was okay, had an ending twist Overall, good for time pass.

This Web Series Did Average Performance. Specially Divya Dutta & Manjit Singh & Neena Gupta And All Cast Did Good Acting.

Zindagi inShort is a great collection of anthologies, highlighting women empowerment in each of the seven good short films. Each of the seven stories have their merits, woven inside each story, the main problem with Zindagi inShort lies in its run time, Seven stories in just two hour runtime doesn't justify what Zindagi inShort sets to do in the first place.

It would have been wonderful, if each of the stories were made in sub 40 minute episodes each. The stand out episode in the series was Thappad closely followed by Chhaju de dahi bhalle. Cinematography was decent in all the episodes. Screenplay was the backbone of the series, if one can call Zindagi inShort a series. Production design, costumes, makeup and music were all par throughout the seven episodes. Neena Gupta, Divya Dutta and Isha Talwar were the standout performers, on the acting front. The presentation of the episode-order could have been handled in a much better way by the editor.

Overall, Zindagi inShort is very good watch if one is light on time, human emotions are handled very well by the actors, who keep things interesting most of the time. Some episodes contain adult themes and Zindagi inShort may not be suitable to watch with the entire family. 6.9 stars out of 10 for an show that highlights and underlines the sprit of womanhood.

An anthology of short films that portray ordinary life with extraordinary twist and turns. Beautiful short films. Equally enjoyable.

Akash chauhan is juz chamcha of d editor I guess. But the movies were pretty good.. N touched heart.. Pinni was emotional and had a simplicity which everyone can relate to..

An anthology of 7 short stories, "Zindagi: In Short" is indeed a slice of life representing different emotions of suffering, pain, humiliation on the one hand, and jubilation, victory and restoration of pride on the other, all packaged into each of the episodes. It's a feel great, not just good, actively engaging dramaturgy that leaves you on a high at the end.

"Pinni" belongs to Neena Gupta who delivers a trademark performance. It's about an elderly woman, a master of sweetmeats, whose individuality has gotten lost somewhere in her journey as she retains her only identity as a Pinni-maker, even at home. With one swift stroke, she restores her real self, dignity and respect and it's brilliantly sweet too. Like "Sleeping Partner" belongs to Divya Dutta, a woman in her middle age being abused by her husband, but reluctantly falling into the trap of having an extramarital affair with his young colleague, only to realise that it's all very messy. But does she get back at the chauvinism and misogyny with a bang. "Sunny Side Upar" is a bittersweet tale of a young oncologist who believes only in realism and not in romance and emotions, only to be jolted out of her vanity in one swift moment. She starts to understand that life is too short without love and romance. "Nano So Phobia" is Swaroop Sampat playing an elderly Parsi lady suffering from delusion and phobia about being attacked by her man servant, with a startling conclusion. "Chhajju Ke Dahi Bhalle" is an innocent tale of budding live between a Muslim girl and a Sikh young man in Amritsar, with a wicked twist in the tale that you don't really know how to react to. "Thappad" is a comic strip narrative of two school going siblings and how they deal with a few bullies, with a musical score reminiscent of "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly", and is innocently delightful. Lastly, "Swaaha" is about the end of a marriage based on a one-sided loyalty that has been met with deceit on the other, discovered by chance, and does Deepak Dobriyal blow it hot.

Don't miss "Zindagi: In Short" available on Netflix. It's a fabulous mood upper and serves every emotion possible.

The movie is pretty amazing. Editing is very good. Very impressive.

No storyline, Boring. Please do not waste your time on this.

Excellent series having great episodes on different aspects on society and life <3

I watched Zindagi In Short on Netflix in orig. Hindi w.Eng. subs.

ZiS is a compilation of seven independent short films:

Pinni , Sleeping Partner , Sunny Side Upar , Nano So Phobia ,Chhaju Ke Dahi Bhalle , Thappad and Swaha.

All of them are very well made, well enacted, well depicted and narrate various realities of life. The films are short so it would really be a spoiler for me to go into more detail than this.

Very relatable, very watchable. Well done !!!

Must watch short stories in series like - Thappad , Chhaju de dahi bhalle etc.

Chajju ki dukaan dahi bhalle a talk over borders but girl in india and boy in Pakistan and they found love but border divided and they finally met at wagah border

Pinni is story of women to whom people treat like nobody but demand everything and she is doing it like mad man but one day she decided to take her life in her own hands and that's her bday when she give up from taken granted by people

When men take women for just sex and want to abuse everytime when she is submissive to them they try to suppress her but it takes a moment to get over it and change the table and she did it.

Being busy and not giving time to people around you make it tough for you and life goes on but a women teach her that on her death bed. Facing cancer that make time for things you like to do and give time to people who love and care for you

Women whom people think mad got robbed but she battled him and saved her life and neighbours thought she had mental condition.

Sometimes courage is all that we need to fight back like brother teach his sister.

When drunk prank got wrong and on brother wedding husband came to know that his wife is having extra marital affair and due to there boring sex life she is having it and one is his own brother which is shown as an easy interaction between them during climax and things turn out true for some.

Hard to rate this movie as a while since it was such a mixed bag...

Wonderfully written created & acted...feel good factor..a must watch anthology making picking the best story quite difficult

The maker tried to spread a message but they failed

it is divided in to various short stories but they were just ordinary this typeof stories are available in plenty on YouTube

lack of emotions solid scenes and length were missing big stars were used for short stories where their performances does not come they way they deliver in a long length series or movies

overall its a ordinary presentation
