This short is not just a short. Basically it's being a 25 minutes long. So a very long commercial but luckily also an expensive looking and skillfully made one.
What the short does well is capturing the mood, with its story, settings, characters and events. It also shows some of the relationship latches but it doesn't every do this in a too obvious way. It's all integrated pretty well into the movie. Seems to me that they used some voice actors post the shoot, that normally work on the type of video films, just as this movie is.
But one thing that is obvious is that they went for spectacle instead of realism. It doesn't exactly feature the most likely plot and some of the things that are happening are just not likely to ever happen in real life.
The way I see it; this is just a short that everybody would love to be able to make, with a bunch of friends (if you are a guy that is). A bunch of feelings, a bunch of events, some fun. It's a typical guy flick, with plenty of emotions going on in it, suitably Indian. In that regard this short is simply being a very watchable and maintaining one, which you shall not get bored with.
There really isn't much story present though. It's all some very typical stuff. No real surprises in this short and the surprises that do happen are actually the more stronger moments as the end death.
So it's far from a perfect short but the professionalism it got made with ensures that it still remains a perfectly watchable one, that still offers plenty of good stuff. Hard to make such film outside the subcontinent.
9/10
