There is no doubt about the fact that actress Tisca Chopra is a brilliant actress and she has proved that with her performances in several Bollywood movies. Now she has turned a producer with a short story that will leave you stunned. Tisca Chopra’s Short film Chutney, is full of expression compounded.
Tisca Chopra, Adil Hussain and Rasika Duggal feature in an intriguing short film called ‘Chutney.’ The short film is Shot in Delhi, it appears to be a simple story of a simple housewife, her husband who has roving eyes and their newly married neighbour who on a visit to their house one morning discovers a very dark secret of the house.
Firstly, watch out the Tisca Chopra’s short film Chutney:
Tisca Chopra’s Short film Chutney is a small slight but very assured sturdy and self-composed underneath. It is held together by the smaller performers but a cast with names like Adil Hussain and Rasika Duggal. The cast flits in and out with an energetic anxiety helping the director to create a sense of imminent doom. But what made movie awesome is the Tisca Chopra’s central performance that really holds the plot at the hinges.
The plot of short film ‘Chutney’:
Almost all of the very disturbing plot of Chutney unfolds through a conversation between a housewife from Ghaziabad (Tisca Chopra) and a woman who is a threat to her marriage (Rasika Duggal). Tisca plays the wife with compelling but casual candour.
Her vampy make-up makes her looks very different, but that’s just a part, a very small part of what she does with her part. She gives to the wife a kind of ‘don’t-mess-with-my-marriage’ finality and ‘I-won’t-let-you-cheat’ closure. If Tisca’s wifely concerns were not so tragic, they’d actually be fodder for a black comedy.
Directed by Jyoti Kapur Das and produced and written by Chopra herself, the film’s dark undertone hits you out of the blue towards the end. With a talented cast, Chutney will definitely leave you stunned.
