The short film, which revolves around dating apps, finding love post divorce, and self-worth, will have you hooked to the screen. The thought-provoking trailer introduces us to Malishka Mendonsa’s character, Anjali, who is on a quest to find love. Navigating the unstable and volatile world of online dating and moving past insecurities in a middle class home in India, Anjali learns to love herself, making us viewers fall in love with her too.
While there are not too many movies about body positivity in Bollywood, this short film produced by ILN Studios manages to pack a punch that will have you reeling from the sheer brilliance of the screenplay. In a society that has normalised body-shaming and unrealistic beauty standards, Parde Mein Rehne Do beautifully brings to light the realities of love and dating.
