I must commend the great effort to the team at HumaraMovie that enables such good stories to be made in the best way."

The short films in Shuruaat Ka Twist offer a great blend of storytelling. I love the fact that in Adi Sonal, the message is conveyed subtly. It is not an outright film on feminism but it makes you feel for the cause."
