Natkhat

The parable between a child and what they can become as adults - particularly with regards to sexism and gender bias - are explored beautifully in this short. And even though it's not overly preachy or subtle, it is direct in a most pleasing way. The cinematography - particularly the framing of the shots - were a joy to watch, and above all - the acting and the background score come together poetically to expound on the virtues and parallels between women and the birds - and kings and the young ones. It premiered on YouTube during the We Are One festival on the 2nd of June, and is absolutely worth watching when it's officially released to the public.

I can see this film umpteenth times. There is nothing more, I have to say about this lovely film.

Natkhat (Short film) :

A Masterpiece Crafting of an immensely important yet sensitive subject that will leave you spellbounded. One of the finest storytelling I've seen recently. A half-an-hour into two sensational parallel worlds, fairytale and realistic, that will teach you a lot about life, love, equality, god's creations and humanity. Vidya Balan is impeccable throughout the runtime and thst child Sanika Patel is utterly natural. Overall, Natkhat is a Must Watch for every kid, every mother, every father and every single creature who is part of the society since forever.

Amazing movie , wonderful play by a sanika & Vidya balan. Great costumes too

A fabulously insightful little gem of a movie. Must watch!
