"When we are away from each other we both require tissues but for different reasons." What a line! LOL :)

[@shilpasety6500]

+Bollyreviewsnow what it means in exact form ? I mean that sentence...

[@sushantkanchan]

OMG. Sucha nice film. Strong subject. Nice cinematography.

[@arpitaroy3672]

honestly speaking i 'm watching yor movie first time.....and i have already become fan of yor creative work....what a strong subject and theme...must wanna see more good films by you...all the best

[@JayeetaBhattacharyaTunu6989]

I really loved your film. What I liked the most is your treatment to the subject of the film. Most Indian mainstream bollywood film will make a sobby melodramatic crap out of this subject. But not only did you made this film a really interesting & an intense one but you nailed it within 20 minutes. Hats off to you Bahaish. I would love to see all of your other works. Great job.

[@surreshtarasingh9]

[@ShreyaDutta86]

Beautiful... how emotions take over us and how desperation for yearn of love is so captivating...

[@FIONA21ful]

Another great little shocker! I love your films.

[@sidrasohail758]

Bahaish Kapoor, you did a brilliant job in all areas. story was brilliant photogrpahy, color, sound was on point. editing was amazing too. good job it deserves to be more appriciated

[@KarnGupta]

[@samathacatta1678]

No words....ur movies r just stunning...keep going high....!!

[@dyutilov]

Each of your shorts are a gem. I am so sad that they have so less views though, and other crappy stuff get thousands and thousands of view/shares/likes/comments. From today onwards, I'll take it up to promote your work and spread the word. I love your creations Bahaish.

[@BahaishKapoorfilms]

Dyuti Coomar thank you so much, Dyuti, that's very kind of you to say!

[@rajivkeshav2]

+Dyuti Coomar Couldn't agree more..

[@MyNATESH]

all your films- it "hits" you ! .period

[@maulirathod17]

Really an amazing film. Acting is superb and music too. Loved your work.

[@rifatsheikh5784]

ending is just awesome....got goosebumps.....

[@adarshnair]

Absolutely brilliant.

[@shilaghimire2865]

She tolerated when she was physically abused but could not when she doubted that her husband is cheating on her.. Why women do tolerate such misbehaves..

[@abrahamjohan]

I loved the film. My only opinion... if you had portrayed a boring husband rather than an abusive husband, the story would have had much more clarity. Other than that brilliant work. :)

[@praveensathaye7408]

Kick-Ass. No words for it. Gripping till the end

[@parikshitpachori]

Just gr8... Woooow..

[@dimpleduttsharma7072]

Beautiful movie.

[@manvitripathi3174]

I have recently started watching short films... So far i hv seen many but i like your work...the twisted ending is really surprising .. Job well done by the whole team.. Coz according to me short films are much tougher... you know to sum up ur whole idea in such small time is great art..👍👍👍👍👍...

[@vanitaagrawal1961]

awesome, speechless, literally....

[@roseedwin8842]

in any relation if there is slightest doubt on another person the relation is ruined forever.. nice short film..

[@ravindrachoudhari4668]

OMG...... Many times its happens in reality also..... People did the things without giving a single thought.....Keep it up Bahaish Kapoor

[@SupreetBhatia]

All your films are equally gripping and amazing! Keep making awesome movies..subscribed for more! :)

[@alankritataneja6186]

Awesome movie.

[@dr.shrutipradeep4585]

Beautiful!!

[@kinjalbhar3296]

Great plot and what an ending, I loved the cinematography with shaky camera movements at certain places and the frame hues used!

[@KickTracks]

Excellent! That's really cool. Thank you for this video.

[@vinaysharma8456]

Lovely........very nice........miss my friend Shaanti

[@MAfreenShreya]

she is so gorgeous. Masha'Allah

[@subha2003]

One of a kind

[@KESHUINDIA2007]

Lack of Patience makes human an Evil********

[@blackpearl7288]

Ture. You can beat me up but cannot cheat on me! Wake up people! Physical abuse should not be tolerated. I think it was the stored up anger which made her kill her husband.

[@snehasantosh458]

wow. such a wonderful short story. i am wondering what will you do if u r given a chance to do a 3 hr film. hats off for your creations.

[@vyshali6340]

You make such good short films.....clearly u r better than any Indian short film director I've come across. Keep up the good work Bahaish. I really like the way you portray your ideas. :) I hope I will get to watch more of your work.

[@PoojaVerma312994]

It was brilliant.

[@74mramesh]

If he wasn't cheating on her, why didn't he give her the perfume?

[@BahaishKapoorfilms]

Wonderful question. When he first enters, he intends to. But she says, "typical" because he's late & intoxicated tossing the mood out the window. So he passes out instead. Hope that clarifies our choices.

[@74mramesh]

+Bahaish Kapoor Thank you. It does.

[@roshellebritt226]

+Bahaish Kapoor I enjoyed the film and your work however had a few queries. What about the scent on the jacket? It couldn't come by just shopping with the friend right? Especially not on the whole jacket??

[@BahaishKapoorfilms]

+Roshelle Britt - she smells traces of the perfume that his jacket hold because presumably, he had been sprayed by the salesperson while purchasing it. As is procedure. And that smell stayed.

[@snehagupta9221]

+Bahaish Kapoor Exactly what I thought....rather understood from the flow...

[@udtahathi]

Nice. The film can alternatively be named as "Perfume" too. Good work with 7D there!

[@bhartichawla]

oh its a bit sad, but well shot. I loved the soundtrack throughout.

[@Son9]

I'm guessing the thought of him cheating was the straw that broke the camel's back. *sigh* It's not that this is a bad film, it's just that I'm irritated af by it. She tolerates his bullshit because she's desperate to save their relationship, even going to the extent of removing his *jacket* and *shoes* whenever he passes out drunk; her friend notices this bullshit, and the best way she can think of helping her friend, is to *suggest to her husband that he buy the perfume she complimented her for one time*, as an obvious diversion from her bruise. What, the fuck? *That is not how you friend.* And the husband! He didn't deserve to be murdered, but he was still a shit.

[@apoorvasuman892]

Completely brilliant :D

[@vilove17]

I am thrilled.

[@MrSauravsinha]

Excellent

[@nadiasalman7828]

Very different . I liked it anyway what she did at the end . The husband was torturing her , it was not her fault but his behavior was very cold. What was the idea if he didn't celebrate the day with her and buying a gift for her. He deserved it but poor girl suffered.

[@Juninavi]

Very nice! Thank u !

[@khtnameh]

Very well written and technically great...

[@rabianaseerkhan2993]

this girl is sooooooooo pretty

[@LadHEeDhA67]

SUperb!! ... Juzz took ma brth awy for a While... Stunnin performances....

[@mapyvizcarrondo9454]

Excellent! Bravo.🖒

[@sharanyamunsi7162]

The lead actress is refreshingly pretty. Would have liked lesser sound effects though.

[@ritikamaggu1]

Awesome Short... :)

[@arturocastro2302]

I had seen her in another short film

[@peppersalt5448]

good movie.

[@girlinherowndreams]

Omg its just amazing. That's how it says don't judge a book by its cover. Nice work dude!!

[@PawanKumar-dy3bh]

[@rabbitscantcount5696]

So he wasn't cheating? What was the point of killing him then? Was it for no reason, did she make a mistake? I didn't really see him beat her, just accidentally push her against the wall. That was unacceptable, yes, without caring to look and see if she was okay, but those issues could have been solved! Yes, marriage counseling WAS needed! It could have helped! The husband was a drunk, yes, but he could have been helped! If anything, I think the wife said "that's not what we need" because deep down, she knew she was a murderer, or capable of killing, she was on edge, and had NO patience. How long were they married for, anyway? I'm probably overthinking this and being really rude, and I'm really sorry, I don't want to be mean, I just have a little difficulty understanding the film. I agree the cinematography was very impressive and was a big part of telling the story, but can someone please explain the lesson/meaning of the film? (P.S. this reminds me of Lamb to the Slaughter a bit, anyone else?)

[@aroobfatima7509]

bunny pumpkin14111 He did physically abuse her. To the point where her tooth tell out and when she's getting ready , she hides bruises on her arm with make up. The message was that , in my opinion , the guy pushed her to the point where she expected only the worst from him. She's in a mental state where she's in denial about her situation and so doesn't seeks out help. Murder wasn't justified but that's the thing. She wasn't in her right mind. She loved her husband too much and it drove her to insanity seeing him tear apart everything they had.

[@19111960able]

wonderful

[@parulkumar4384]

amazing!

[@alchemyinUK]

awesome shots... :)

[@sreeramachandra580]

She will tolerate beating but she will not put up with cheating? Oh come on when are we going to accept that abuse whether it is verbal or physical is not acceptable.

[@Springview2011]

When? Well, that's when ( Indian) women start respecting and loving themselves and realize what their worth is. When you respect and love yourself, you will realize that you deserve better. Men (or people in general) only treat you, the way you allow them to treat you.

[@onkarindustries.honda.indi5854]

+Springview201 1 .

[@shripujasiddamsetty]

ya but but not all are aware of what is really an abuse

[@AAA-tx8gb]

problem with these people is they are trying to find their happiness from one person and have no other life except one 'so called friend' to talk to. life is happy when you have a whole family. then your relationship with your spouse develops over a period of time, and not always focuses on it, like in these nuclear families. if in your life you take responsibility for others, say in-laws, your own parents, your neighbours, life works fine, for it gives you purpose. and before you know, you have acquired wisdom of living, letting go, holding on to, and crying and laughing, all in a different situation...or understanding how these things work. but if you keep thinking someone is going to make you happy and will have nothing better to do but only be around you like in the movies....then you are in big trouble and hence these pointless movies.

[@AAA-tx8gb]

to a certain extent you are right, but this focus on self, and not understanding that we are a part of a community, or we are linked to many and the joy of life lies in taking care of other,s, not always thinking of being taken care of....when they understand that, things will change around them. also, sometimes you keep attracting the same kind of people in your life, because deep down, you are that way, in that case changing your self, having patience with yourself and other will take you a long way.

[@neildsouza3085]

The actress has a lovely pronunciation.

[@arundhati4084]

how about a part-2 to this? could be a nice thriller..

[@BrightSparksAsia]

Very nice. Stylish , sensitive work.

[@madhurimahaldar8498]

Climax wd too good

[@PeacePlease.]

She's really pretty. Her accent is good too - polished and easy to understand. Just hope these drastic measures are realized as entertainment, and not done - Movies do have a strong effect on the public - Abusive husbands, careful about your gift selection & Beware of a Woman scorned - Heeee Hawwww - just kidding!? Didn't see that coming - Well Done!!

[@PeacePlease.]

[@sandipkudesia]

Some feedback : Too much camera shake. Should've used stabilizing accessories. Lighting and camera slides have been used judiciously .Try shooting with DJI osmo . Editing could've been better .Still a good film with a well placed storyboard. Hope to see more of your work Bahaish.

Bruises that are visible leaves a different mark than the bruises that can not be seen. I don't know which one is worse. some of us find it difficult to leave no matter how they are treated. what is wrong with us?

Whats the key to"Excellent cinematography"?

[@BahaishKapoorfilms]

+hitesh dhawan the key is to establish the approach early on and use the tools of photography to enhance the performance of the actors.

[@Icalldibsinthis]

What is the name of the soudtrack in this movie? Sounds Spanish but it is original?

[@roundsquirrel]

Hi, loved this film! What does the black-white scene with the blue flames represent? Is it kind of what is going on inside the wife's heart? I'm currently studying the relationship between films and narratology, so wanted to ask:)
