Why Not A Girl..? || Telugu Short Film || Nandu Maddy || Directed by Sunil Puppala

A short built around a blunt question, why having a daughter is still treated as a burden in so many Indian households, playing out through the gap between families who celebrate a girl's birth and the abuse that follows some girls through life. It runs twelve minutes and lands its point without padding.
