There are some movies, which are streamed on digital platforms and affect the audience internationally. One such film is Vidya Balan’s ‘Natkhat’ which was released last year and now the film is set to take its place at the Oscars.
In the year 2020, when the whole country was fighting the corona epidemic, the cinema halls were closed and the shooting of films was stopped, at a time when Nakhat was released on YouTube on June 2, 2020. Now, this film has joined the race for Best Short Film category at the Oscars 2021. The director of the film is Shaan Vyas and it is produced by Ronnie Screwvala.
With Oscar eyeing a larger goal, this short film introduces the delicate subject of gender-equality and is shown with great caution.
Expressing her happiness, the actress, Vidya Balan shared a poster of the film and wrote, ‘I am very much thrilled to see that’ Natkhat ‘has joined the Oscar 2021 race’. In her second post, Vidya has shared a short clip of the film which is telling the story of ‘Natkhat’. The video shows Vidya Balan massaging and interacting with her child’s head, which begins with an innocent conversation, but soon becomes an awkward and worrying topic. When the child tells that the girl should leave the forest to teach a lesson. This is the right way to teach girls a lesson. Vidya gets worried after listening to the child and is forced to think something.
