It is a thought-provoking short film... Nailing down to the undercurrent
anxiety and frustration of modern society. Sensibilities are still not lost...
But we are missing that connect!
Stay in touch and be awake about this before this gets too late. Damage
can still be recovered but loss may not be!
Call your parents now and call them every day. You have used them to
make yourself what you are today and now they need you.
The Story of ZUNI…. reflects the modern life style we have adopted; and
it is so much engraved that we can’t see anything else until we get some shock!
I was wondering by seeing the way life has become or we have made it? It
has happened to me so many times...!!!!
“I was in a morning office meeting and my phone
ringed! I saw the number on the screen. It’s my Mom! I thought of taking the
call, but business meeting was important so picked that up and quickly said
“Mom, I will call you back; I am in a meeting please”. Phone got disconnected.
I completed the meeting in few hrs with quick lunch
and now it is the time to drive back home; I realize that I have not spoken to
Mom full day. Now I am driving so should call back once reach home. Reached
home tired; kids want to play, and I want to take rest. Any way finished the
dinner and gone down to play with kids. Came back to home again and realized
the time is 11 PM and Mom must have been slept by now. Should call her in the
morning again.
But Mom was waiting for the call to talk and to
just know that “How am I doing”.
Next day morning the same routine…it goes on years
by years!!!”
But few months back one day I decided to speak to
her every day in the morning without fail what ever happen!!! Since then I felt
big changes in her talk. She knows I am going to call her in the morning every
day, so she has lot of things to talk. What happened yesterday, what was good
and what went wrong. What she liked and what she didn’t like and a
lot more to go on every day. But now she is less with emptiness and more
exited. She tells me what changes she is doing to make her routine set &
better. She also keeps advising me to stay fit; keep eating on time like a
child & that make me feel pampered again like my childhood time.
So, it’s a good time to stop thinking and call
her…you will still have privilege to get that mother’s pampering.
It’s not that we don’t love our parents! We love them most, but our
priorities have changed …we think that we are working for our survival and
better life and we don’t get time to talk to our parents on a regular basis.
But I am sure if we want; taking out those few minutes daily is still
not that difficult. Eventually most of us realises that, with some shock in the
life!
The story of the Movie is very clear, thoughtful and so much connecting.
The script by writer Jyoti Bajaj has been laid down so well that it triggers
the emotional highs of each & everyone who is watching this.
Divya Dutta as “ZUNI” has made every seen so much alive and connecting
that you would get in the flow of emotions. Drives you to the journey of your
childhood pampering, your office stress, home management and almost all that
which you go through usually! She made it so connected that you cry and smile
with her unconditionally.
Padmini Sardesai as “ZUNI’s mother” has been clean and calm with heart
touching expressions.
Producer Ravinder Jeet Dariya…has taken a courage to make the movies
short and simple but with clear and laud message to the viewers. This must get
appreciated that in today’s time “Masala is must in the movies” but he has made
with simplicity and cleanness.
Direction & Idea is superb by Sanjay Mathew. The message of the
movie goes loud and clear without any ambiguity. Overall it goes without saying
that it is the need of the generation to connect back. His thought process is
very clear like his movies. His dedication towards the implementation of those
ideas are very strong.
He has made us
think that we are still kids in front of our parents…in first half of the life
we need our parents and other half our parents need us.
Think again…
