Birha : The Journey Back Home

Watched this short film many times and every time it touches the emotion and makes you overwhelmed. Perfect direction. Captured genuine emotions, genuine Punjab rural home setting. Simply a masterpiece.

The actors, the background music, the voice modulation are so heartfelt that it makes you teary eyed. It is very difficult to control your emotions during this film. One can relate to this movie very easily as if you have gone through this situation of forgiveness with your parents.

Highly commendable performance by everyone who were part of making this short film.. A must watch movie. I have watched it more than 10 times. Highly recommended movie. Kudos to all!

My heart cried watching this short master piece. I live in US and my parents are in India and they are old. Though I talked to them daily but this movie shook my body watching the last scene where father was crying that made my heart out.

Its the story of so many parents living alone and waiting for years for their children to come back or atleast just visit them.

So If I felt that emotion proves how authentic and pure this movie.

About acting, I literally did not realize its Rajit sir in father role. How pure his punjabi in this movie believed me its someone local from punjab. And again in the role of son. Manav did justice.

Again thankyou so much Mr. Puneet Prakash for this emotion and love through this movie.

This was my 4th movie in the short series currently on Jiocinema and undoubtedly the best of short movies seen in a long time Brings tears to eyes. You just can't help think from both sides.. Folly of a youthful ambition and cry for redemption and then thinking and imagining the long journey led by the parents after their sons errant doing.. of what thy had felt over the years gone by.. And then the simple human emotion of parental love and forgiveness for an errant child.

Must watch. Excellent performances in past and present. You can just not think of the plot again and again. Its short movie but it will remain with you for a long long time

Must watch.

"Birha" is a short film that explores the theme of separation and longing. The film features a protagonist who returns to his homeland with a single desire in his heart, and the narrative revolves around the activities and performances of the characters. The film is driven by universal emotions and delivers visceral reactions. The technical aspects of the film contribute to its impact. Rajit Kapoor delivers an outstanding performance as the aging father, and Manav Vij's portrayal of the son is commendable. The film effectively conveys a haunting sense of loneliness. While it incorporates a twist in the end, which may seem like a cliche, it doesn't diminish the overall impact of the story. "Birha" stays true to its theme and finds an apt rhythm for exploring the subject, making it a compelling short film.

I came across this beautiful film ' Birha ' on Jio Cinema app and I still can't get over the fact as how beautifully and poetically the story has been communicated. It almost felt like the entire story was happening in front of my eyes. It was as real as it can get. Right from writing, direction, bgm to acting, cinematography, casting etc it excels in all departments. Special mention and thanks to Rajit Kapur sir and Manav Kaul sir who I feel are 2 of the best actors we have. Big congratulations to producers like Galib Dutta ji for showing the courage to back such stories which are high on content and emotion. It's time that we as Indian Audiences start giving respect to such cinema which is deeply rooted in each one of us.

Without giving too much about the story. I suggest that if you get a chance to watch it with your parents it'll be icing on the cake.

Coincidentally it's my parents anniversary today and I can't thank them enough for all that they have done for me.

Watch this masterpiece as soon as you can, you'll probably thank me later 🙏🙏
