We have been tought and observed music as an important element in Film Making, breaking the stereotype, This Film has no Music. The whole narrative revolves around the Rain as the title says.

Sound being an important role to play.

Sound Design - Top Notch

Direction - Absolutely Fantastic

Cinematography - Brilliant.

A beautifully painted picture!!

Beautiful cinematography!! This film does it's job perfectly to capture and convey the social message with a the vivid imagery and leaves a powerful impact on the audience. I am a person that likes to sit peacefully watching the rain pour down while listening to lofi music. Now after watching the film, subconsciously I am always grateful that I'm privileged enough to only see the peaceful side of the rains amongst all my other brothers and sisters of rural India who still struggle to have a proper house. The hardships that they face are indescribable and that's what I think makes their kids mature at such an early age. Also I strongly believe that no other person can write a better essay on "Rains" than the one that has truly experienced the good/bad both sides of the situation.

Must watch short film🙌

A melancholic journey through the rain!
samxxxul10 September 2022
I have returned to my favorite hobby of horror films when it rains. Revisited a lot of classic hammer, then watched A24's latest body horror/ emotional manipulation Men (2022). Finally added this and it was all worth it, a weird mix but it was a good watch. The protagonist - a middle school boy takes a journey and how the rain merges in harmony with the happenings that brings him more discouragement as he fails to finish his assignment in the given time. He has to deal with his drunken father who is passed out in the street. In one of the scene the boy slips and is compared to his alcoholic father, once again emphasizing the connection of rain with the family. "Pavsacha Nibandh" does not preach or showcases class struggle, but it is shown in the emptiness of the landscape and thatched house. There is accusatory darts thrown in like many films on touching on the topics, it is monotonous just like the rain but hits hard. The true depth of this short film is hidden in the downpour and it is necessary to peer into the bleak landscape, listen to the sound of the rain and immerse yourself. It is a short film, an assessment that needs to be seen by cinephiles.
