Pressure Cooker | Short Film | Shortlist JioFilmFare 2018 | Pallavi Joshi | By Heena Dsouza

★ JioFilmfare Short Film Awards shortlist, 2018

In 1990s Mumbai, a lonely homemaker's dull routine is disrupted by two new arrivals: an automatic pressure cooker and the attention of a younger man, both promising a taste of the modern world she's never had. Pallavi Joshi anchors this metaphor-heavy slice of life about desire dressed up as a kitchen upgrade.

Why it's free: Free on HumaraMovie's own channel, the short's official distributor.
