Pressure Cooker | Short Film | Shortlist JioFilmFare 2018 | Pallavi Joshi | By Heena Dsouza

Vote for us @ www.filmfare.com/awards/short...
In the India of 1990's, which hadn't yet opened up to the glitter of free market and unimaginable choices, monotony had a flavour attached to it, which was crafted with utmost care and attention over the years. What happens when a lonely home maker from middle class Mumbai starts getting a taste of novelty, through a metaphorical new automatic pressure cooker and the attraction from a younger man. Will she be able to allow new commodities to enter the floodgates of her world?
Pressure Cooker is an effort to look at the changing modernising worlds of commodity and sexuality in an era where change of anything, especially of a kitchen appliance was a deeply emotional issue, from the eyes of a middle aged Mumbai woman.

Pallavi Joshi is one of those rare gems. She doesn’t have to put much effort in her roles, she has that charm which very few actresses have. Brilliant film.

[@kalpanagosai1709]

This movie gives a wonderful message…cheating is never a mistake it’s always a choice. Pallavi joshi is such a grace, it’s a treat to watch her😍

[@nowornever7198]

Cheating is never a mistake 🤔😶

[@10Faizah]

Pressure cooker is used as a metaphor in this short film. The lady chose to use the old, faulty cooker instead of replacing it with a new one. In the same way, she tried to fix the relationship with her grumpy husband instead of pampering her attraction towards the younger and attractive sales person. The lesson is nurturing a relationship is better than looking for a replacement.

[@vishnukumarkr3499]

Good observation

I clicked on this video to watch pallavi joshi and Im glad I did. Such beauty and charm she holds. Superb acting maam. Took me back to the 90's

[@anupnair7465]

I too agree she was so bful...infact is bful

[@shazia321]

So true !! None of the tv actors can match up to her. She’s so natural and her acting is amazingly effortless. Miss the good old days of TV !!

It is indeed sad that such talented actors are not to be seen and instead we have to see artificially created botoxed females.

[@Anurag4153]

"The choice is yours", that's it. Be wise. Such simplicity, true romance loaded with self respect and a mature effort towards relationship, one thing missing greatly in today's time.

[@saswatibanerjee2682]

Your observation is the right perspective with which the movie was made

[@saswatibanerjee2682]

Wise and wisdom was behind the judgement that pallavi joshi compared and contrasted the pressure cooker salesperson with her husband.Her husband is grouchy but not cheap and shallow as a human being.He has moral values

[@nutankharade8051]

Aj ka online food ke jamane me purana pressure cooker thik karke usme pulav banakar pyarse khana aur parosna behad achha laga. Pallavi Joshi is a great actor with natural beauty. Her simplicity in acting conveys more moral values those who understand them. 👍👍👍

[@IshaniMehta]

In addition to making a wonderful short, I'd like to congratulate the filmmaker for bringing the lovely Pallavi Joshi to screen after so long!

Beautiful short film, and the metaphor so aptly used. If it's broken, fix it, not throw it or replace it. No short-cuts or instant gratification. Leaves you with a warm, fuzzy feeling that all will be alright in your world too...am getting addicted to short films...they are like a fantastic breath of fresh air

[@shrutiambavat]

I love Pallavi Joshi ma'am's acting. Please continue acting in such inspirational short films. You are beautiful as ever.

Pallavi Joshi is my all time favourite. She never let me down in any of her serial or any act. I can watch her act without any second thought. ☺

[@anshumantagore]

The description, has a nostalgia. Could not be more amazed at a story so subtely linking to the conflict of human desires. Kudos to the makers.

Beautiful story and such an emotional journey. Sometimes all that's new and shiny may not always be best. And sometimes things that are old doesn't necessarily need to be discarded.

[@libifurtado277]

Each scene so well so beautifully captured, vintage style in each scene made sure to be shown. Radio commentory narrating the actual happening of the movie, so beautifully done. The scene where she feels infedility even in disobeying her husband's words shows the feelings our mothers and even today a lot of honest loving wives have towards their husband. One sweet word one smile ( SPECIALLY pallavi's smile), takes the pressure off the husband's stress at work. Music has contributed so so much.
