The Affair

This is a brilliant short film in Hindi available to watch on YouTube. Be warned, the film may even be shorter than the time it might take you to read this review. And that is really the beauty of it. For within that short span of a few minutes, the film manages to pack a punch. It will leave you both surprised and thinking, and I bet you - you will watch it again after seeing the ending, but this time with a much better perspective.

Living busy lives in cramped cities, we forget about that passion in our lives and relationships. So much so that even efforts to rekindle it get drowned by the same grind that creeps up on any free time. It's for us then to take a step back a draw a line. Know what matters when to make the most of life. The only solace is that life and relationships do give us a chance. That's the wholesome message in this film, and a significant one at that!

If you start getting too nit-picky, you may even ask how come both the protagonists take different transports to the way back to their homes. But even that you think about it, is but obvious. It's in the guy's work route and so obviously he has a train pass, while the woman has taken time off this day to come all over to this tryst. Only for it to not happen the way it was planned..

A must-watch for couples!!
