Reasons you should add short films to your Watchlist

Short films are emerging more and more as the days goes by due to many reasons, some being- more appreciation or the fact that covid would not allow a big-budget film to be shot due to lockdown, but you can make a short film from the comfort of one’s locality and just minimal equipment.

 

Modern-day problems require modern solutions indeed! We personally love the thrill of short movies and here are some of our reasons why you should watch them. 

1.  Exposure to young directors-

The artsiest form of storytelling is short movies for a reason, they are well crafted with minimal dialogue resembling real-life situations. The Indian audience is such that we seldom love a movie that is closer to life, we love to see larger-than-life sets and dolled-up actors more than actual characters that could be us. Hence, when any director comes with a realistic vision they take a big risk with the audience and the movie market. 

 

If you like the story then you should celebrate them like we do the big banner movies. If you watch the story for the story, the vision behind it will get more exposure and the quality of cinema will never decline.

2.          The spectrum of acting royalty-

 

We are not going to debate about the nepotism culture, but we are going to say that most of the actors that take their step into mainstream Bollywood are the ones who once starred in any short film.

 

Theatre actors seldom get big breaks in one go, so you will find them in short films on various platforms. If you would be the one supporting new actors and opening yourself to choose your new favorites then there would be a bigger appreciating platform for all those young actors who go unnoticed. 

3.          The stories

 

Without a doubt, Bollywood’s most movies are just star-backed movies without any strong story or message. But most of the short stories are based around social messages or the reality of life’s monotony. We see short films like we experience life first hand, not with added songs or happy endings all the time. You might say that short movies are undoing the damage so many big banner movies have done to us- making us delusional in some senses. 

 

If you will appreciate stories in movies more than the star-studded cast, the quality in Bollywood’s creations would be unmatched.
