Is ignoring the measures meant for safety\u2019s sake daring operation or is it abominable to yourself and to the society at large? \u201cBlue Helmet is a short film that will portray the assuaged question in the most alarming way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mohanjeet Kalsi\u2019s \u201cThe Blue Helmet\u201d is the awarded winner at Acharya Tulsi Short Film<\/a> Festival and semi-finalist at Los Angeles CineFest among multiple other appreciations. The short film with a humorous take, showcases an issue people rarely feel the need to throw light on in the magnanimity of ignorance: Road Safety . The film, albeit void of any dialogues and lingual interactions, exceptionally succeeds in its venture to make known the perennial theme present only through cinematography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The film opens into a regular morning of a middle-aged lady living by herself, a middle class life. The lady is soon discovered with an evidently weird obsession with a \u201cblue helmet\u201d. This builds up the storyline for the innate theme established towards the end. The helmet seems to give her a sense of safety and comfort while she rummages through the chaotic streets of Mumbai, seemingly unaffected by the fact that people saw her as an object of mockery. But is it really an object of mockery? The short film alarmingly answers this question. Another question is whether the visage of delusional safety that the \u201chelmet\u201d gives her is sufficient or is it an object metaphorically symbolising and ardently urging the society for the urgent need of some change? However it is much later in the film that we are informed about the lady\u2019s perspective on the helmet. And this shall be left for you to discover and ponder upon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
