4. TEA AND A ROSE

Lockdown the film is a difficult genre to crack, secondly since there have been so many of them now. But director Indrani Ray seems to have perfected it, bringing unmatched loveliness and warmth in the lockdown trilogy, which Natasha Rastogi and Adil Hussain starrer Tea And A Rose is my favourite. It’s also the cutest short film I have seen in a long time. Oddly reminiscent of Satyajit Ray‘s Charulata. The film follows a woman visiting an old friend At her house during the lockdown.

5. DINNER IN LOCKDOWN

Another friend from the lockdown series by Indrani Ray that I really light. This powerful drama starring Shibani Dandekar and Shekhar Ravjiani follows an evening in the life of a rich, urban married couple. Their conversations and events in their house that precede a romantic dinner. Ray manages to tell a hand hitting and moving story in a very short span, perfectly supported by the performance of the two leads.
