[glitzygymnast]

I really liked this film. Didn't see that coming :P

[shrutimani]

konjam over :P but nicely made :D

[bhramara1986]

awesome superb cool movie..

[swaminathan84]

I like this video. Just wanted to know why arranged marriage is like getting a government job? Why not any other job...??

[tintin6588]

@swaminathan84 It's the age old adage...nothing provides security like a govt job, it's kinda permanent and everything is safe and secure.

[gemtuatum]

lol this interview wasnt for a job it was for marriage

[deemzzren1997]

Why does he need so many questions in this interview if hes going to be a taxi driver? lol...

[xxbluejay21]

[IceQeen1011]

The ending was awesome...love marriages are so much better...only that the boy has to be interviewed by the girl's parents instead

[vmssanthosh]

LOL.. its true.. one girl asked for my resume.. :)



[mirrormera92]

[imthyas]

nice:-)



[tannucool1]

nice film... i saw it as isffi 2011....but wht puzzled me is why isffi was kept at such low profile....there was no promotion of the festival neither nything given on the net i hope next time they promote it well so tht more n more ppl should know abt it

[tintin6588]

@tannucool1 Thanks. They actually should have gone large on their campaign. They would have got a houseful. Even the initial announcement as such was pretty low key. Well, lets hope they go big next year.

[tannucool1]

@tintin6588 dats sad...i was expecting some real fireworks...they should have interviewed the winners..and gave them proper media attention....anyways i wish you all the best for this movie further....keep up the good job...

[tintin6588]

@tannucool1 There were a couple of media interviews though. Anyways thanks!

[singhparveen77]

great!!

[VarunMehtasWorld]

congratz nitin...enjoyed ur movie at isffi 2011

[TheUtubefav]

Hey Nitin, Liked the movie a lot. A thought provoking satire. Keep up the good work n keep the good movies coming.

[jeffzach20]

5 life fucked grand pa's disliked this. i totally agree with your movie man. you just told the whole world what i have been tryin to express in the most sexiest way possible. if i had 5 thumbs on each hand i would have given u 10 thumbs up! :D

[bluejamesbond]

Nice.....

[rahuldavidbeckham]

Rllly gud bro ... :-)

nice editin ... so wens ur nxt short comin out ...?



[Manu0711711]

brilliant movie! r ul working or smthn?any more movies?

[tintin6588]

@Manu0711711 Am into advertising actually. Hopefully wanna make another one soon enough! :)

[aceanusha]

I loved the film! :) I like your professionalism. Liked the backstory, the suspense and the animated sequence in between. Very funny and witty! We want more from you! And totally liked the concept. So true! Marriages are business transactions these days. I find nothing offensive in your video! Cheers!

[tintin6588]

@aceanusha Thanks a ton! To you and everyone who made it possible to hit that 1 lakh mark! Glad you liked it! Keeps us going and hopefully work on something new again! Thanks! :)

[ethanhuntae]

Your camera work is neat, post processing is slick and really professional. It's nice to see young directors come out of the stereotypical method of Indian film making and make movies that can be watched by a global audience. You've got all the skills for a film maker, however I only wish that the actors did not look like they were trying too hard to act. Their dialogue delivery and facial expressions at times were what let this video down slightly as it didn't feel natural

[SUY4SH]

@tintin6588 - Found this vid on Facebook, someone shared it. Should make you glad mate, you have a rather large audience now :)

Won't go into feminist-chauvinist argument. I guess, it does what it's supposed to do, Deliver. The build-up always gave the hint of something unexpected. And the last minute or so lived up to it,particularly the portions when the credits roll in.

Keep'em coming mate!!

[Tulujevu]

@tintin6588 -You could've had women also appreciating this movie had you shown their side of the story too. The system is ridiculous, so why be one sided? In a world so biased of men being the majority of cheaters, why would it be wrong for women to do their homework?I am not "for" these interviews or to the ridiculous extent to which it has gone, but isn't it only fair to show both sides of the story as a filmmaker? It takes away the main point of the movie!

[tintin6588]

@Tulujevu Makes complete sense. I just figured it would make sense to focus on a single perspective rather than putting foot in dual boats. Maybe a next one could be a woman's take on something. :)

[gpavanb1]

@tintin6588 I accept the fact that the short film was a decent attempt at introducing a highly criticized cultural aspect through a satire. I'm sorry to say that I totally disagree with your views. There is bound to be somebody of that kind. You can very well ignore my comment.

[tintin6588]

@gpavanb1 Totally bro. There's nothing like a right or a wrong. There's just matter of thougts, opinions and perspectives. And I totally respect that.

[gpavanb1]

And this comes from somebody who doesn't know how to spell "marriage". 4:40

[tintin6588]

@gpavanb1 Incredible. 5 minutes and 43 seconds long short and you managed to overlook everything else just to bring out a typo. I plead guilty! :)

[eshasahorlepcha]

i simply loved it...no comments but just love the satire..funny thru and thru :-)

[haggardrider1]

I am a feminist and I don't think this film is chauvinistic AT ALL. Firstly, this is what both parties feel like. Just because the fil had two guys in it doesn't mean it was male oriented. People who don't get that , kind of miss the point here. Secondly even if it IS male oriented, so WHAT? People hardly think of the other side of the coin. Patriarchy has it's affect on the men folk too. They are all expected to conform to a set standard- the over achieving bread earners. It's unfair on them.

[tintin6588]

@haggardrider1 Thank you please.

[Tulujevu]

Stereotyped and chauvinistic, the video portrays what men do - complain! Back then the mommies did their work - my son is a double grad, foreign return, fair, no booze or smoke. Now they have to own up. Women have been taking changes in their stride and never once have I have seen a bashing up video of men asking about the girl's fair complexion, weight, boldness, dowry, domestic skills. Double standards- bah! And the audacity to make a movie..time to grow up!

[tintin6588]

@Tulujevu Hey, like i said earlier, I think you got the wrong idea from the movie! I repeat myself! This short is not about the insane requirements girls put in front! This could happen the other way too ( and it is). It happens to either sides of the gender. I just happen to take it from a guy's POV but it could easily be translated the other way as well. My idea was to bring out what arranged marriages have turned out to be nowadays. Like another interview process.

[NitinGK]

@tintin6588

This is just cool.. No point apologising since there are enough reels put day in and day out about the various societal pressures women are facing.. About time some one puts the other pov.

[NitinGK]

@tintin6588

This is just cool.. No point apologising since there are enough reels put day in and day out about the various societal pressures women are facing.. About time some one puts the other pov.

[riddikssaga]

@Tulujevu shut up

[Tulujevu]

@riddikssaga make me! When art is put to criticism, you have to take every comment, doesn't matter you asking anybody to shut up..historically women have been asked to shut up a million times. NEVER works!

[mukuluppal]

woaaaah! You guys kicked ass!!!!!! So fucking true - all those facts you stated above! :D Gonna share this one a LOT! :D

[vikasrn]

WAAO.... THATS TOO GOOD AND PROFESSIONAL.... U MUST TRY SENDING THIS KIND OF WORKS TO FILM FESTIVALS.

[nayakcinema]

Good stuff.

[santoshgs]

Well done!

[Vaishtnv]

Not wanting to sound like a feminist.. but its high time dont ya think the tables turned.. tired of the century old practice of checking on a woman's cooking and performing arts capabilitis.. but otherwise a decent film

[tintin6588]

@Vaishtnv Actually, THAT is exactly my point. It's not about attacking genders. It's the same vice versa as well. And not even attacking arranged marriages. But more or less, attacking the concept of what arranged marriages have become now in modern India. A satire on the contemporary idea of arranged marriages.

[murali280883]

are arranged marriages like a interview for job?

[njoikc]

Wow, this is super hilarious!! You did a clean job. The screenplay and comic interaction in between all give a fresh feel to the reel. I can see all care taken to the background music and voices, simple yet effective communication through subtitles, and last but not least naturalistic scenes/acting performances.

One good thing is more and more people are now giving their shots at film making from watching inspiring videos like yours for example. You did a splendid job!! keep the work coming!!!

[kanap008]

super macha...

[MrSmartass101]

Gud one guys editing and music is good but guys be more creative dialogues are pretty Cliched u need Good Writing.

[utubefreak3110]

Man u guys nailed it , believe me ... truly amazing... no where cud i find a fault in editing ..

Keep up ya gud work ... n ya come up wid more concepts ..

gud luck guys

[baruneshgautam]

dude... da str8 haired guy looks like jake harper... the kid 4m "two and a half men"...

[pilotmeyy]

Good job guys. Good quality film making and editing.

[kavungalsn]

Cool man!!!!!!!!!!!

[indianguy002]

Good ...but every one have own self choice ..!

Any way Keep it up & Good luck.

[malladimurthy]

Good one..... and keep it going for much better.

[malladimurthy]

Good one..... and keep it for much better.

[prathap40124]

Good screenplay, dialogs, acting, editing and music. Wonderful.

[rahulnsm]

haha. really good one :)

looks really pro!

[rawikrishna]

kudos to the team!! fantastic effort..or rather i would say..FUNtastic one...liked it...esp the song that comes at the end...very nicely composed and sung my raja...congrats!!

[royalsanjay]

Terrific Folks. Really good one..

[jsuthakar]

clarity and angle of video is good. emphasis required at the way u break the suspense in marriage interview...

and much in body language and eye movements. the song at the last is too good...

[reenag23]

awesome...so witty n intelligent..i was glued till the end...Great job done..

Hope to see many more of such short satires

[TheDaftSmiley]

Very nice film! Great job guys! Want more!

[mailvidi]

very well done guys :)

[robs912]

Thought this was great man, well done! Can I ask what camera you used and what editing software? Inspires me to make a short film of something in the realm of 'simple yet effective', rather than complicated and messy, which my ideas always seem to be lol. A+!

[tintin6588]

@robs912 Yea.... we used a canon 5d mark ii

[kalyansury]

lol all the way :)

[austinsideburns]

cool... but you should have just cut it with the phone call and let the viewer figure it out... lost the impact with them talking outside the lift.

[SABYUTUBES]

too gud ;)

[muraliselvan]

Couldnt resist to comment : video well taken - good camera work, editing and background music was apt. The reason I couldnt resist-- its such a common topic that its hard not to expect more movies to be made on it and our team is making a short film on similar subject...will post soon, hope you will enjoy it. Good luck on your future projects.

[aneeshksh]

Very Slick!

[maxtor1983]

well done guys, great effort. keep up the good work. i love short films. i recently came across the video called " validation" you should check it out on youtube. its pretty awesome . Cheers

[leninvinod]

guys awesome work!.. Bravo



[leninvinod]

guys awesome work!.. Bravo!...

[vijaysist]

HIGHLY PROFESSIONAL FILMAKING folks>>>

my advice CONCENTRATE on SCRIPTS...tats it... U will go places I SAY!!!!!!!

[its better to try THRILLER genre with this kind of TECHNICAL TALENTS]

[rakeshkum1]

this video shud be viewed by every aspiring actor, so as to understand what is awful acting

[myselfsagar]

Very well made!

Who holds the copyrights? Can one distribute/share the video freely?

[tintin6588]

@myselfsagar Yeah you can share it as long as its for non-commercial purposes with credits to the team! thanks! :)

[dvadithala]

Technically good effort... though there is no soul (script is boring within first 2 minutes). Good luck next time.

[tintin6588]

thanks a lot everyone! Means a lot! :) Super happy!

[rukmangathan1987]

awesome one..kudos to the team & the 4 guys who have disliked this video, i suggest them to go for a counselling..:-)

[ashu8723]

i like the song in the end..

[sidhartRON]

Well i am really impressed especially by the quality of eding and filming. Nice to see good HD quality stuff with actuall content. Hope to see more form you.

Acting was good enough but the south Indian college student accent was too typical. Anyways good wishes to your crew especially the director :)

[manuprithviraj]

Hardwork is visible bro...I nvr knew even u exists n came here from Facebook..I think from my friends post...so if u like it take it as a theme...

Anyways on ur short film...the costumes n actors where good...ur shots came out decent too...n especially the last song was jst awesome...kudos for that...

Something that u must work on if u take my comment seriously is script n colors...another thing is to create a mood of the subject with music when u start too...

Good attempt...

[krupeshgem]

124mb??.... dude make it small.... or else no one wil watch bcoz it takes so mch time...

[vandana910]

Hey, I usually am lazy to post comments...but while watching this I remembered that I think I've seen your other film as well...You've done a good job! May God bless you in ur work!

[vandana910]

Hey, I usually am lazy to post comments...but while watching this I remembered that I think I've seen your other film as well...You've done a good job! May God bless you in ur work!

[bibhuorg]

good attempt.... need to work on Script...

[bibhuorg]

good attempt.... need to work on Script...

[shagoonsarita]

nice background score...liked the script too....i just wish the actors were a little more proficient with acting....

just a small added comment - you need to do a spellcheck of "Marriages" @4:40

[ssppavan]

nice work. video is good in technical aspects.

enjoyed it :-)

[abikutn]

Script - Poor

Technical concepts - Good

Layout - OK!

Music - good

Dialogues - Poor

Editing - Ok 

[megashashi]

When you make short films like these, why dont you take care of the accents? You think it doesn't matter? Well, I feel the accents are pretty funny than the actual concept of the film. It's like the accents are standing out more than the film. The film would've been effective if the actors worked a little bit to develop neutral accents. Otherwise its nice!

[ablovev5]

You did really nice job... Keep it up

[PiyushKumarNahata]

Kudos !!! Loved it !!

[deeptigp]

Which is the song that gets played in the end at 4:40? ' I say don't leave me alone.. ' Its awesome, not able to find it though! :(

[tintin6588]

@deeptigp That is something my friend composed and sang for the short film in the last minute. Glad you liked it. Will pass it on to him! :)

[deeptigp]

@tintin6588 That is super duper awesome!! Brilliant :)

[soundar007]

thinkAGAIN film................u need to really think

No script ....thou colourful.......... but nothing special in it

[tintin6588]

Sure thing. Will work on that, dude!

[shettyvivek]

[goldenboy4824]

ROFL

[arvindcool21]

Good one dude...I saw a commment about marriage posted along with this video in FB...so knew it was about marriage...and was wondering half way through the film, how is it going to come ...the correlation. Boom it came out of lift :)

[rd2608]
