Walt Disney once said, “All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.” As kids, we all dreamt about following our hearts to the fantasy world. But as we grew up, the chaotic world of survival and work drove us away from our dreams.

This was the story of a dreamer named Rakesh Tiwari. A life-altering conversation with his daughter aligned him back to his passion. One day, when his inquisitive daughter enquired about his presence on the google, he was struck by that innocent question. Driven by his daughter’s dreams, Rakesh was inspired to go against all odds and pursue his passion to make his daughter proud. In the world, where we have often heard that fathers are an inspiration to their daughters, this is a unique story of a father, who was inspired by his daughter.

Directed by Jomin Varghese, this short film “Mere Papa Google Par” is an EBC Originals.

The short film was recently awarded ‘Signature Award’ at the Indian Film Project, 2019.

Hunger can break a child from inside, but all those childhood stories which we use to listen from our parents or grandmother, have that power to divert the pain of hunger. Those stories were the treasure of life lessons. “Noor” is one of them.

Stories are the most powerful means to inculcate strong ideas in tender minds. They create thoughts, beliefs and influence actions in the right direction. Briefly, they make us forget our pains and struggles and sweep us to a dream world. In this beautiful portrayal “Noor”, a young boy learns the glorious history of Indian Freedom Struggle through a musical, while forgetting about his issues for time being.

A concept by Tynor and directed by Vikkas Vick, it is a Sonvick Production. The cast includes Sunil Chitkara as the School Principal, Shiva Kumar as Sharma Ji, Vedant Sinha as Noor and Jaspal Sharma Noor’s Father.

“God could not be everywhere, and therefore he made mothers.” Their unconditional love heals every pain, gives us the strength to sail through the atrocities and hardships of life. And they just expect love in return. The short film “Trunk Call” describes the emotional journey of a mother. 

Set in the backdrop of 1980s, the story of a mother, who is waiting for the landline telephone connection. In those days, when mobiles did not exist, the communication was slower. As it took days for letters to reach our loved ones, everyone eagerly waited for their landline connections. The value of the telephonic ring is something, which could be understood only by someone, who waited for that one phone call. Mrs. Ahluwalia’s portrayal of this emotion, when she gets to talk to her son, who is far away from home, is priceless.

Directed by Vicky Chauhan, it stars the highly talented Nilu Kohli, Aankkur Malhotra, Naveen Saini and Siddhant Aryaa. This Punjabi family is an interesting depiction of those good old days!
