Acceptance: thats all what we need in this society whn we are in trouble. Such a fantastic video with just 2 actors. We should appreciate such powerful themes. Hats off to crew members.

[@LargeShortFilms]

Thanks a lot for such high praise. We are truly humbled.

[@kunalprem6446]

I've never seen anything like this. This is brillaint work all over from acting to direction to the script. It's a shame such amazing actors are wasted in the industry while the fakes are making undeserved millions. Respect to the two actors and everyone involved with this film.

[@LargeShortFilms]

Thanks a lot Kunal. We stand by original content and we will continue to push ourselves for it. Words like these help us tremendously.

[@kunalprem6446]

LargeShortFilms Thank you for doing this, the praise is well deserved. You're providing a great platform to artists who would rather not be noticed and also providing us with great and different content that we would've not seen otherwise in India. Keep up the good work 👍

Damn I have no words the women who played mother's role was good & the girl who played daughter's role was exceptional. Great chemistry, great direction, great actors simply one of the best Short Movie I have ever watched in my entire life

These Indian movies/shorts are becoming my all time favorites. So beautifully written . Thank you. Girl from Austin TX

Love how fierce the mother is when her daughter is being threatened and needs her, and yet in her moment of weakness the daughter shows so much maturity. A beautifully portrayed movie of love, understanding and acceptance. Brilliantly acted.

[@akshatsharma8151]

Would you still have written this comment if the mother had been blabbering in English instead of Bihari accent Hindi?

[@dharmeshrathore1471]

This one single short movie has everything to change people’s mind in a very liberal way .. it’s just the mindset we all have which is scared of society .. but we don’t know that “we are society” We are the change. A change in mindset can do wonders to this world.

Really, great script and excellently executed by the two actresses.. Thank you so much for making my day.. Please make more movies..

much much love to everybody who put in the effort to create this. I'm going to remember this for a while.Good job

[@pragyavashistha9462]

A very different storyline with soft emotions 💯💯. Especially last conversation was my favourite part. And hence proved, 'Men will be men'!

[@jayantgupta7030]

I loved the acting of Daughter. Super performance or I would say Effortless. The way she was delivering dialogues it seems so natural. honestly, pace is slow till 6 min. and movie pick up only after that. over all decent effort and keep it up. All the best for upcoming projects

very bold and mature screenplay ... our society has to go long to have this much patience and courage esp. for the women of Indian Continent.

[@neerajshukla3239]

This is rare to script like that. This movie is a generation ahead. Really loved it

[@niyatikothiyal4249]

The film may have been a rollercoaster from start till end but.... I don't know why it just struck a chord. The only thought I have after watching this is how the saying that only a woman can heal another woman is absolutely true.

[@qnsbijnor]

Many times among normal persons, the beauty of truth itself possesses the light to overcome his or her any kind of mental darkness.

[@milindkhamkar]

Well scripted story. This is the standard of short films that we required today in Indian short films which are more powerful than movies with the heart touching message to the society and easily accepted warm story. In this short film a loud message to everyone that whatever happens in our lives but if we are ready to face it and the most important thing that if we are happy to understand it then there will be no such problems that can tear our life apart

[@nathmeenakshi]

Wow fabulous

[@rrfilmproduction1084]

A very written, well directed and well produced film. A very delicate sujbect matter handled with measured restraint, which makes it that much more impact. Acting A+, Directing and Writing A+, Production A+, Camera work and lighting A. A few places the focus pulling was off, and handheld mode made it a bit distracting, and I didn't understand the need for going handheld...nevertheless, beautiful film. Great job guys.

[@LargeShortFilms]

Thanks Ron for your honest comment. We appreciate it.

[@apurvatheunrivalled]

RR Film Production smjha do

[@MJGohar1]

totally agree with you... well written, very well directed and fantabulous performance... Well, with regards to your concerns about the handheld, I guess it brought in more intensity and fervency specially in the first phase of the movie to correctly portray the characteristics of a mentally disturbed daughter. And, in the second phase I noticed the opacity of handheld movements were significantly reduced according to the mother character who was more experienced, unflustered and on the top she had some idea to get herself out of crises (abortion), where the daughter was totally clueless. I also agree that lighting could have been better. Overall A++

[@VinodVinodVinod]

Wow!!! Great acting! This deserves a standing ovation!
