Ujala is a short film based on one of the most iconic judgments of the Supreme Court that came out in 2018, and will be remembered for the years to come. The historic judgment declared some parts of Section 377 of IPC unconstitutional, made our society more inclusive and equal at large.
Ujala is a story about a teenage girl named Yuvika, who decides to talk about her sexual choices with her parents a week before Diwali. Kanchan Khilare, who plays Yuvika’s role was first noticed by the director during a play and was chosen for this film. Sushila Karani playing Yuvika’s mother is a Homemaker and Krishnan Iyer playing Yuvika’s Father is a Lawyer who has been doing Spoken Word for a year now, were flawless in their first acting assignment.
Conceptualized by a renowned poet Mohammed Sadriwala, this idea was converted into a short film by the director Navaldeep Singh. In his words, Navaldeep is a lover by default, a lunatic by chance and a poet by choice. He grew to fame with his first poetry video Tiranga released by UnErase Poetry.
Watch this Short Film now as this will surely bring a smile on your face this Diwali.
