Laghushanka Movie Review: Story & Performances
Laghushanka short film is the directorial debut of Nikhil Mehrotra. We have
already seen some of his great works earlier as a co-writer in movies like “Dangal”,
“Chhichore”, “Panga”, etc.
Shruti (played by Sweta Tripathi) is suffering from a bed-wetting problem. She is
about to get married. The problem had disappeared for quite some time but again
arose just before her marriage.
Everyone in the family is worried about the sudden appearance of this issue.
An uncertainty arose about whether the marriage would happen or not.
The lighting, flowers, and other arrangements were in full swing. Shruti decides
to tell her future husband about her issue. Hearing this the family members were
fighting with each other to convince her not to share this with anyone.
Finally, she agrees to the marriage which gives relief to everyone. On the day of
marriage, they planned not to offer her much drink and also to take her to the
bathroom every 2 hours.
The relatives were quite surprised to see none of the family members breaking
down on her farewell. Shruti had a discussion with her mother after reaching her
in-law’s house.
After waking up in the morning she realized that she did it again. She was feeling
embarrassed about how to face her husband after this. Finally, a twist gave a
happy ending to this problem.
Director Nikhil Mehrotra kept the 15-minute short film quite engaging. Shweta
Tripathi is just getting better with every project.
Kanupriya Pandit as Shruti’s mother was also quite impressive. The other
supporting casts were unable to offer us much during their little screen presence.
We rarely talk about this kind of topic but we should give attention to these topics
for better and quicker acceptance.
