“The story is obviously familiar, we have all seen the classic cheating scandal play out on soap operas, so we know what to expect, but director Asad Panjwani makes a smart choice to enable his short film to stand out from the drama crowd: the use of comedy.
This short is described as an action-comedy, and while the “action” may be a bit of a descriptive stretch, the comedy is not; this short has some genuine laughs in it, and with excellent timing and execution, Panjwani manages to turn a tense and dramatic moment into an approachable and enjoyable watch.
Despite clearly operating on a small budget, the filmmakers have managed to produce a film that ticks the boxes of quality. Lighting and sound are consistent, acting it a little hammy, but that’s kind of the point considering all the action and comedy flying around, and the flow and direction of the story is strong, all making for a fun and enjoyable watch.”
