These films touch upon themes such as standing up for yourself when it's the hardest to do so, online romance, the innocence of childhood, the confusion of old age, the construct of being loved in a marriage, infidelity and a woman owning her role in the family.

Now her production house, Sikhya Entertainment is all set to present a genre-fluid anthology, helmed by cinema-sound minds and mostly first-time filmmakers. Monga has put Indian cinema on the global map by canvassing movies themed on subjects that may have never been attempted before. A roller-coaster experience, the trailer gives viewers a sneak-peek into the seven bittersweet 'slice-of-life' short films, directed and performed by some of the best talent in the country.Īfter the success of ‘Backbenchers’, Flipkart Video is gearing up to take the audience on an extraordinary ride through short films titled 'Chhaju Ke Dahi Bhalle', 'Nano So Phobia', 'Sunny Side Upar', 'Swaaha', 'Pinni', 'Sleeping Partner' and 'Thappad'.

While I loved “Chajju ke Dahi Bhalle” I have to make a special mention of “Thappad”, which is a tale about a brother and a sister, and so interestingly filmed – throughout the film we only ever get to see the faces of the brother and sister, every other character in the film is shown only in little snatches of limbs, hands waving, feet kicking, fingers pointing, and it still manages to convey the desired emotion quite effectively!Įach of these films is something special! The acting is top notch, but then what else could it be if stalwarts like Neena Gupta, Divya Dutta and Deepak Dobriyal grace the screen? Beautifully told, wonderfully acted, these quirky films are a pleasure to watch.Flipkart, India's homegrown e-commerce marketplace, in partnership with producer Guneet Monga's production house, Sikhya Entertainment, has released the trailer of their upcoming collaboration - Zindagi inShort, India's first genre-diverse digital anthology of seven short films. Then there is the lovely “Chajju ke Dahi Bhalle”, the quirky “Thappad”, the surprising “Nano so phobia”, the flaming “Swaaha” and the reflective “Sunny Side Upar”.

The second is “Sleeping Partner” featuring Divya Dutta as Beena, who’s sick of her abusive husband (Sanjay Kapoor). Pinni is directed by Tahira Kashyap (Ayushman Khurana is her husband). Pinni is a Punjabi sweet, and the film is about a housewife, played by the marvelous Neena Gupta, who discovers a new way of looking at life.

There are 7 different directors at the helm and the series has been produced by Sikhya Entertainment (which also produced fantastic films like The Lunchbox, Masaan and Titli among others).
