Director
Chand
Mohammad's
short
film
Mehsoos,
which
bagged
the
'Silver
Film
of
The
Year'
award
at
the
India
Film
Project
9,
has
created
a
great
deal
of
buzz
on
social
media
for
a
variety
of
reasons.
Shot
against
a
limited
budget,
it
revolves
around
the
various
stages
a
man
goes
through
while
touching
upon
the
Importance
of
experiencing
life
to
the
fullest.
At
a
superficial
level,
the
short
doesn't
really
offer
anything
fresh.
However,
it
clicks
due
to
the
simple
yet
effective
presentation.
Mehsoos
features
voiceovers
as
opposed
to
dialogues
and
this
makes
it
a
unique
experience
for
viewers.
It
conveys
a
strong
message
without
being
too
preachy
and
this
bears
testimony
to
Chand's
abilities
as
a
storyteller.
The
director
has
also
managed
to
utilise
the
'maa'
sentiment
quite
well
and
this
might
leave
some
folks
teary-eyed.
Most
of
the
actors
do
justice
their
parts.
Its
productions
are
fair,
considering
that
it's
a
low-budget
affair.
Mehsoos
makes
an
impact
as
a
standalone
short
film,
giving
us
food
for
thought.
In
some
ways,
it
proves
that
sincerity
and
clarity
of
thought
are
the
pillars
of
good
storytelling.
Chand
has
the
potential
to
scale
new
heights,
given
a
bigger
platform.
All
in
all,
Mehsoos
makes
for
a
decent
watch
and
can
be
enjoyed
by
all
and
sundry.
