After watching Namesake I thought Mira Nair has lately lost her creative juices. i watched this short and I regained my respect for Mira Nair as a director. Taking subject matter that no one wants to lay their hands on is a problem as it is and then doing an incredible job on it is even rare.

AIDS is becoming a bigger problem for India with its large population and is growing day by day. Bollywood is happy producing 90% of usual crap while short films like this are only truly respectable film productions. AIDS has been an epidemic in the world for last 20 years but the popular opinion in India continues to maintain that it cannot touch them.

Kudos to Mira for taking this topic and ensure that awareness about AIDS spreads.
