‘Ek Jhalak’ is a light-hearted take on modern romance

This light-hearted modern romance has been written and directed by Deepmala and produced by The Visual House (TVH).

Boy meets girl, girl meets boy – love happens, or at least that is what we have been seeing in the movies. But, what happens when a man starts developing feelings for someone he has never really met? Amazon miniTV brings to its content library yet another short-film, ‘Ek Jhalak’, this September.

This light-hearted modern romance has been written and directed by Deepmala and produced by The Visual House (TVH). The film casts Amit Sadh in the lead, along with Sushma Seth, Ashish Ghosh and Zeeshan Ayyub as the narrator.

This 19-minute short-film is set in an Indian suburb, where a single father in his mid-thirties, becomes fond of his new neighbour. Though he has never met her, he has managed to discover different facets of her personality – a doting mother, a devoted daughter and a modern working woman – and he finds himself attracted to her. His desire to meet her takes him to her doorstep one day, only to have his own idea of love reshaped. So, who is this enigmatic neighbour and what happens when they meet? Watch ‘Ek Jhalak’ to find out!

With an intriguing, budding romance at its core, ‘Ek Jhalak’ has already received a number of national and international awards and nominations, including a Special Mention at the 10th Dada Saheb Phalke Film Festival, Audience Choice Award at the Tagore International Film Festival, and Critics Choice Award at the Tagore International Film Festival.

Speaking about the launch, Amit Sadh said, “‘Ek Jhalak’ is an interesting approach to romance, with a surprise twist, and I cannot wait to see how viewers receive it.”
