Shor Se Shuruaat: Makes the right noises

"Hello Hello", directed by Pratik Rajen Kotari and mentored by Shyam Benegal, is an intelligently scripted satire about consumerism. It showcases the noise created by competing organisations to lure consumers. Strategically placed in the anthology, the film, brings with it nuggets of light moments that elevate the sagging viewing spirit. With an undoubtedly intense performance from Sanjay Mishra, as a convict in solitary confinement, waiting patiently with hope and silence before he is marched to the gallows, the film "Dhvani" -- directed by Supriya Sharma and mentored by Nagesh Kukunoor is astutely handled, and the prisoner's anxiety is palpable. Treated as a fairy tale, "Yellow Tin Can Telephone", directed by Arunima Sharma and mentored by Homi Adajania, is the tale of a unique boy and a girl whose lives are diametrically opposite. She suffers from an overdeveloped sense of hearing and he from an overdeveloped sense in association with colors. How their paths cross and they trade their secrets, forms the crux of this tale.
