Ever seen a comedy short film in less than 12 minutes that has three twists in it? No, right? Well, brace yourself for the laughter riot in the form of Lockdown 'e' Dil-Down.
This short film, shot within the confines of each characters' houses, by their own family members, presented by PS Creation and directed by Antaheen Partha is right what you needed in these chaotic times.
The stellar cast of the short included a few known and unknown faces in the form of Debraj Mukherjee, Tanusree Goswami, Ridhish Chowdhury, Boni Mukherjee, Sovan Roy, and Labani Mandal.
The synopsis states,
There is a worldwide lockdown.
But, what about love?
Well, love is like a flowing river, a flying bird. You can't put it in quarantine!
Let's embark upon this journey and see what will happen to this love and whether it would find its destination or not
This short's musical genius is a collaborative act. The music and playback is done by the very talented Dolaan Mainnakk. The re-arrangement of the tracks sung in the movie is done by Prithwish Kumar Basu. The aforesaid songs are beautifully sung by cast member Labani Mandal and Prithwish Kumar Basu himself.
The fact that makes this short, directed and written by Antaheen Partha so special, is that it has been colour-corrected as well. The editing and colour-correction have been done by Subha Bhattacharjee. The director credits all the family members without whom this film wouldn't have been possible by giving them their due in the end credits.
I remember when I watched this short, I couldn't stop laughing for a whole hour, such is the infectious effect of it. You would have to watch this carefully written and crafted piece to know what I am talking about.
Lockdown 'e' Dil-Down is the result of passion and love for the art even in the midst of calamities such as COVID-19 and the Amphan cyclone. 3 days and 600+ views, this debut work by the director has already made its mark. Now it is your turn to give it what it deserves. Watch this movie and get entertained...
