Ruchir
Arun,
Director,
Teen
Tigada,
said
"
Unpaused:
Naya
Safar
anthology
boasts
of
compelling
narratives,
showcasing
a
multitude
of
emotions
and
we're
really
excited
to
bring
our
film
as
part
of
this
anthology.
With
Teen
Tigada,
our
effort
was
to
highlight
the
threshold
of
human
emotions,
amidst
the
tribulations
of
an
ongoing
pandemic
that
hit
us
like
a
storm.
This
film
has
a
unique
narrative,
beautifully
translated
on
screen
by
the
actors
and
we
hope
it
will
resonate
strongly
with
the
masses
as
well."
Nupur
Asthana,
Director,
The
Couple,
said
"Layoffs
were
a
glaring
reality
of
the
pandemic
that
hit
professionals
very
hard
the
world
over,
leaving
them
uncertain
and
demotivated.
The
Couple
captures
the
emotional
upheaval
and
complexities
caused
by
such
a
professional
setback
and
how
it
impacts
personal
relationships
between
two
people
altering
their
realities.
The
first
edition
of
the
anthology
beautifully
struck
a
chord
with
the
audience,
and
we
hope
now
Unpaused
Naya
Safar
will,
am
sure,
open
to
similar
love
and
appreciation.
Shikha
Makan,
Director,
Gond
Ke
Laddu,
said
"The
pandemic
has
affected
one
and
all
in
ways
that
are
unexpected
and
uncalled
for.
We
all
worry
for
our
loved
ones
living
far
away
and
look
for
means
to
connect
and
care
for
them
even
from
a
distance.
And
sometimes
we
find
connections
with
strangers
too.
The
idea
of
Gond
Ke
Laddu
was
to
showcase
the
spectrum
of
human
bonds,
but
with
a
twist.
It
was
an
enriching
experience
to
shoot
this
film
with
an
amazing
cast
and
crew
who
breathed
life
into
this
subtle
yet
substantial
narrative.
We're
sure
the
story
will
connect
with
the
audiences
at
an
emotional
level."
Ayappa
KM,
Director,
War
Room,
said
"War
Room
showcases
the
vulnerability
of
frontline
workers
who
encountered
unfavourable
situations
during
the
outbreak
of
the
pandemic.
This
is
a
gripping
story
that
unravels
a
different
facet
of
human
emotion
in
duress
and
I
owe
it
to
the
entire
team
for
bringing
it
alive
so
beautifully."
Nagraj
Manjule,
Director,
Vaikunth,
said
"
Unpaused
Naya
Safar
anthology
reflects
on
a
range
of
emotions
with
each
of
its
films,
and
Vaikunth
adds
on
to
this
with
a
unique
balance
of
gloom
and
hope,
peppered
with
unpredictability.
We,
as
a
team
are
humbled
and
honoured
to
bring
this
story
as
part
of
this
anthology
and
we
hope
that
it
stays
with
the
audience
for
a
long
time."
