what a performance..its a shame that actors like these do not get recognized and appreciated..these people are much better then the Kapoors, Khans n Bachans of bollywood.
True
hina ahmed seriously so true !
Very true
Aise mat bolo.khans bachhans aj jahanpe hai wo apni mehnat & dedication ki wajah se hai. Agar act a66e nhi krte to industryme tik hi nahi pate...btw I wonder if you know or not, Kankana Sen Sharma is already a very talented bollywood actress !!! Btw HNY 😊 & have a good starting of d yr.
@@naziaasad785 Bachchan's are certainly very greedy and ethicless. I was mortally wounded to see the hero of my teenage days Mr Amitabh Bachchan worshipping Natanyahu a few yrs ago. After that I don't watch his movies and put him into the pile of sweet things of the past which ha sno place in present and future.
Not a single second of this film was a waste... This is how a film should be made. Great work guys!!

agreed, but the main theme music of this short film is greatly similar to the theme music of Kanchenjunga, movie by Satyajit Ray. I'm not necessarily accusing that it's been copied but if the music director consciously influenced by that great theme music by Ray, he should have acknowledged him. Certainly many people who watched Kanchenjunga would find it and understand the great similarity.
Gopal Das, I also noticed the similarity.
agree
The title made me remember the story " The Necklace", everyone in CBSE school read that. But this is such great film.. 👍👍👍☝️
I clicked exactly because of it.
Yeap
yes...when I was hon's 1st yr..then we read this nacklace story
I am in ICSE and I have also read it in last session
Yes..... Bad me duplicate nikalta hai
Girish was so real. He was living a more realistic life than alka. Loved the character.
The title of the story gives the meaning of the story beautifully.. .. Nayantaras necklace. Alka was impressed by the lifestyle of Nayantara and she wore her necklace as well as her lifestyle w/o realising the truth behind it.
Sometimes we are so impressed/affected by the others lifestyle that we forget that everyone is unique and two lives cannot be compared.
Did u see the meeting between girish n alka. She was mimicking the exact same lines nayantara told her... She was not only wearing the necklace but actually the life of nayantara as well without realizing that no one is perfect and reality might be different than what it seems.
When she saw the reality (the death, the truth of financial condition). She realised that she was living in a dream world and as a gesture to come back to her actual life as alka, she removed the necklace and left it.

reality is grater than fiction
Thanks for wonderful conclusion.
drishti saraswat thank u..i didn't get the 100 % of the movie...but u explained so well here :)
drishti saraswat well explained
This story reminds me of the story THE NECKLACE
It's a Russian story which was in our english text book in class 9
The protagonist Mademoiselle was unhappy with her own life and desired for a rich life . She had a friend who was wed in a rich family . One day she borrowed a necklace from her friend and danced in the ball gracefully as if she was the eye of the evening but unfortunately she lost the necklace on her way. Unable to find it she brought a same looking piece from the company and gave it to her friend. She and her husband had to pay a high price for the necklace and in order to overcome debts 10 years passed . Finally after 10 years Mademoiselle met that friend and told that how she managed to return her the necklace after so much struggle. The friend replied
THE NECKLACE WAS JUST A PASTE !!
i do remember. awesome story. god i love school topics. if u remember there was 1 more. Pandora ray of hope
NCERT English book..
Actually the story is French.. . It is by a French writer Guy de Maupassant
Did a play on it. Wore a flowery gown, and played the part of madamoiselle!
@@nehasusan7017 Nice😄
Why isn't konkona doing any movies! Miss her... she's a great actress
Amina Begum Its because Bollywood is full of nepotism and favoritism and all the makers see is starkids..they dont care about talent..
@@juliesngh u dumbass she is also a star kid,she is aparna sens daughter
@@tweetyrocks7686 You don't have to be that rude:)

If you find someone spreading hatered then you should report them.
Interesting take on Guy de Maupassant's classic "The Necklace". Brilliant acting by both the female protagonists. Konkona is always a treat to watch.
Sometimes I feel that all of us are chasing an illusion... Let us hope that truth never reveal itself.
Great performance!
But the truth reveal itself sometime down the road 😊
Most people are shocked and don't know how to handle the truth.
Nida Aizaz where the heck is that road🤣
czcams.com/video/thenazUM7Go/video.html
puneet thakur true.
I was actually blown away by the talented actresses!! Konkona is not a surprise but I have never seen Tillotama Shome and it was blinding talent! Gulshan Devaiah is always always a treat to watch.
Story ye he ki actual me nayantara koi rich family se belong nehi karti wo to sirf alka ke samne dikhwa karti thi.actual me to girish ek rich person tha.usne 5star hotel,abroad travel ye sab se bore ho chuka tha our wo ek simple sa life style jina chahta tha.girish se milne ke bad alka ko ye samajh aya ki nayantara vi uske samne sirf dikhawa karti he kyu ki actual me koi rich person 5star hotel me lifetime rehna nehi chahega.last part me nayantara ko uske husband ne mar dia kyu ki wo bahut befizul ki kharche karti thi jisko ek middle class husband ko afford karna muskil tha.last me alka ko ye samajh agaya ki nayantara vi uske samne dikhawa karti thi jese wo girish ke samne kar rehi thi our wo wohi par us nekles ko chhod kar apni khud ki jindgi ko apnalia.
Moral:-hum sirf wohi chahtehe jo hamare pas nehi he par hume ye samajh me nehi ata he ki khusi humari pas hi hai our hume bas use dhund na he...
Aapne iska meaning bahut achhe se describe kiya
Explained well dear 🤞👍
Ohh sister.. ab Jake real story samj aayi. Kuch log Nayantra ko imagineory roal bta rahe hai why?
Good explanation 👍👍
Exactly that's real Meaning of the film.. Log aur bhi pata nahi kya kya meaning nikal rahe h
This short film is a great lesson for us to learn that we should always be happy with whatever we have. Nobody and nothing in this world is perfect and we should never try to change that. No matter how much we try to gain something, we will always end up losing something. Happiness is not in material things, it's inside us. All we have to do is be realistic and look within ourselves. If we are content with ourselves, then we will always be happy!
Indeed 👍❤😊
just a 20 min movie but showed whole life time truth .....awsum work
anamika nair
Things I noticed when watching the movie a second time to grapple with my emotions after figuring out what really happens in the story:
1. Nayantara never lights the cigarette, she only allows it to dangle casually between her fingers
2. Nayantara never really answers the questions that Alka asks her; she smartly avoids all of them
3. When her husband asks Nayantara if she has received any call from the bank, she chooses not to answer him in front of Alka
4. Someone as rich as Nayantara posits she is uses a hand fan in the car instead of air conditioning to cool off
5. Why does Nayantara need the dhobi's number? No washing machine?
6. Nayantara has a mask hanging from the rear view mirror of her car
7. Alka begins to lie to Nayantara and eventually becomes Nayantara in front of Girish
:(
The masks take time to come off but the clues are all there in the story.
Edit: Thank you everyone! Glad you observed similar things too. What a great film. Cheers :)
Amazing observation.. Hats off
What is the lie alka says to nayantara?
@@aditimoitra6395 the lie was that she ignores the song that has been sent on fb by her friend whereas it was shown that she was quite enjoying it that she don't even realize that her maid was watching her..
@@amritasinha7411 thanks. I noticed that later😊😊😊 I rewatched it after you said that.
Alka also says Samar’s choice when she is talking about Going abroad plans. She is just repeating everything.
In the last scene, Alka was so lost in her lies and her fake character that she said Disney Land is Samar's choice whereas Alka's son is Dheeraj and Samar is Nayantara's son
Exactly... Good observation Harshita
True... Good observation
It was intended to show that alka had become someone who she was not that's naintara..
@@abhishekmukherjee1680 thank you
@@sanasayed5793 thanks
This thoughtful film explores the fallacy that the grass is greener on the other side. After all, we humans always think others have it better. In reality, the grass isn't greener on the other side. And the secret to contentment is to want what we have and not want what we don't have.
Good direction and acting. Thank You!
Aditi Elise R. okk
That's pretty nicely summed up. Thanks
U look pretty...
czcams.com/video/thenazUM7Go/video.html
Aditi Elise R. This is life aditi... The day we all will understand the biggest truth that all happiness and contentment lies within, all curses will vanish and the unrest all around the planet will settle down but the irony is most of the people or even majority of human race just fail to realize this biggest truth... And...
opening scene- use of makeup to hide your true self is the crux !
can please explain me what are those repeated portraying of those cup cakes n tea sets signified. .. good story but a lot of things I didn't get
+pamolina choudhary I think they represented a stale lifestyle, which no longer inspired her. it was a symbol of gaiety that she longer enjoyed. because in one frame with these objects, she is shown perturbed !
+Tanuja Pathak thank you dear...
+pamolina choudhary xxnx
+pamolina choudhary it appeared to me the life she enjoyed in Dubai whic she still yearns it. Cup cakes, kitty parties, art galleries - the glitzy posh life.
The story is so simple yet so complicated.
Just be happy within yourself, thats all life is about.❤
Going on that date was like going to Disney land for her..and life mai ek baar toh sabko Disney land jaana chahiye..but not forever. Stay in reality and not in your dreamland.

Hi
Exactly
Nayantara: "Wine mein kya hota hai?
Nashaaaa......
Aur Nashe mein kya hota hai?
Alka: " Mmmm..."
Nayantara: "Nashe mein hota hai Romance!"
Great meaning is hidden in these lines, in Nayantara's idea of what "romance" is...
I came back to this after two years and it still hits a chord
Girish's choice of lifestyle that he explained was so plain and simple yet priceless
Konkona Sen Sharma has the most magnetic eyes I have ever seen. I don't know what it is about Bengoli actresses, but they just own the screen inside-out with their oomph and class.
Thanks for sharing this short film!
I just can't believe that even a short film can be this much beautiful... acting , music, skill of camera.... everything left me speechless....this is just a WOW film
Ahalya shook me to the core had goosebumps and my head spun. This one had amazing performances and good music.
Romance is when you are totally messed up & he looks in your eyes like he's unable to see anything else than you..😍😍
the only Aisha 👌👌
😊
This was brillant!! Both actresses were superb, loved the story, such a strong message.. be content with your life and the people around you... chasing after material things and a 'larger than life' life might make you realise one day that its not worth it. Its all a facade, they all only look happy, you never know what happens behind closed door.
Especially when someone is boasting up and trying very hard to look rich, they will not open up because they want to look all fine and perfect in every aspect.
@@bindu6515we have such people all around us. They make us feel sad about our beautiful lives. Its better to ignore such people who fake to look like rich and super happy.
Those tears of Alka when Girish depicted his dream life ...she acknowledged she's lucky but in illusion she played the character of nayantara through out!
I love Konkana and Tillotama so much. Tillotama stole my heart in Sir..and Konkana is Ajeeb Daastaans
wow! A thoughtful film with a loud message: what we always see is not real, and the way to satisfaction lies within. I loved Konkona in his film as i love her in every film she does. Laudable performance..a big applause!
What if??? Nayantara is just an imaginary character. What if Alka was talking to her own split personality whom she goes on nurturing for the date with his old friend. And what if she gets rid of her split personality (by killing Nayantara and her imaginary son Samar) as soon as she realises that the image was not worth aspiring for.
Samrat Thapa nice thought
Samrat Thapa mind blowing idea.
The only defect that i feel is that if she has a split personality then why she would include a child?? Secondly the gunshots happened in the noon while the date was at night.
Like FIGHT CLUB ?
Aayush Chandrawanshi yeah bro, somewhat similar to that
Samrat Thapa i
Huge round of applause. ....loved it.....this short film really taught a good lesson to those who feels that others life is good and wants to live that
One of the finest films made in recent times. Thanks to the director for the brilliant piece of work.
artistic and creative. im glad indian audiences are maturing to good receptions to films like these. kudos! love kankona sen!
might it be too much to say that indian cinema is finally (if not too slowly) coming out of the typical clutches of masala cliched love films? we need more artists like kankona and not just mere eye candies.
Suryasnata Bhowmik correctly said, ... You took the words right out of my mouth...
Agreed, otherwise there is alot of vulgar stuff in the name of humour in bollywood
The way the man on date expressed his expectations was so pure and beautiful ❤️
What amazing acting by both Konkona and Tilotama! Brilliant short film..Hard hitting.. There are many like Nayantara's character in today's world. Shook me up.
woah what a film. JAydeep sarkar, you have hit the core man. seeing a very good indian short film after a long time .i am your official fan. Count me one. haha
Girish's mention of cooker's whistle, irritated husband watching TV....... these kinds of mundane things which men usually shows they are getting irritated but actually cherishing them......... hits straight to the core of Alka.
Coz this actually was the true reflection of her life.

too bad her own husband lacks any personality.
Hmm but this is so typical ....of men... Wanting women to be homemaker
@@shay3783 yes
I always loved Konkona Sen’s movies....she didn’t disappoint me! Thoughtful subject. And deft handling!
The music the makeup the lighting and of course the acting and a deep story line. This is how any film should be!
Simple things give us real and long lasting happiness. Amazing performance by both lead female characters.
tillotama shome always gives me a reason to live, haven't seen such a fine performance since a really long time. thank you tillotama.
she is just lovely
jinchuriki83 Sexe dance
great performance
Konkana is such a beautiful actress and so natural. Great art!!!!
I honestly lack words. Wonderfully written and wonderfully enacted. This is such an underrated clip
Nayantara's cover up line when questioned by Alka that why did she chose to return to India after having lived a lavish life in Dubai, " I don't want to live as a second citizen ..... " The pressures and perils of a hollow existence ... and maintaining the pretenses of affluence .... All culminating at the end to give out a strong message!! Superb performance by Tilottama who outshines Konkona Sen.
I love the concept of this video.
I personally know this kind of people.
Being rich is not bad, wishing to have a luxurious life is not bad but making your life and someone else’s life because of all this cruelty.
I know some people who left their real house and started living on rented house to show off. I think they made their life miserable instead.
A new age in the history of movie film begins with this short film & Mr. Sujoy Ghosh broght this up.
Well written and executed 👏🏽 and why is Konkana so underrated 😩♥️
I love konkanas acting really natural and it's a lesson to the people who waste their time and money by showing off to others instead looking on their own
Both Konkona and Tillotama were brilliant in this perfectly paced film. Thanks for sharing.

I can relate so much to this. As a gay guy who went to an all boys boarding school and lived in a hostel, I never had any friends because the boys had presumptions about me that I will lure them into sex as I'm gay. Everyone used to mock me for being effeminate so I secluded myself and hardly went outside other than for classes. But this one guy was so nice to me and he was poor at Math so he used to drop by at my room to study. I knew so well he's straight and nothing's ever gonna happen between us but I used to imagine that he's my boyfriend and used to write my thoughts about him (which included a few slutty and sexually charged made up stories too) in a diary. One day unfortunately he read that diary and I lost the only friend I had. Seeing this short film stirred back those memories.
Sweetie you will get friends.
Did you try to explain him?
Maybe he was just scared
You are so brave to accept that in india
To have a simple life you must not tell anybody about you being gay unless you have achieved a good job
sad bro
hopefully life is better now
I watched this when I was in school. Didnt get the story that well then, but, now, watching it now, it's an eye opener. The grass being greener on tje other side...the fact that Konkona's character lost so much and was sort of pining for that lifestyle.
Thanks to the comments section. It actually helped me a lot to understand the film better.
This movie till now the best short film I have seen .
Tilottoma Shome is super .
Amazing both are fine actresses who have wonderfully portrayed that all that glitters is not gold..
czcams.com/video/thenazUM7Go/video.html
Jus amazing, each clip has its own meaning. I watched the film twice with different takeaways both the times.
Would love to watch some more like this.
Brilliant!!!! great concept, great acting by Konkona (as always) and Tilottoma!...fake is always fake, no matter what! still how we waste our entire life in an useless effort to put on others' lives! short film, but a much larger concept portrayed brilliantly!
It is very beautifully shown that deep inside, no one wants to live a fake life. But somehow, we catch that desire from others, and became a part of that cycle.
Since the beginning of this Short film I was Thinking that i have seen this Girl the actress playing Alka somewhere Before But Couldn't Recall...Then After reaching at 13:00 tge Saloon Scene I remember that Oh it's the same Actress who played a School Admission Councillor in Film HINDI MEDIUM....
Oh god This Getup and Dressing change a Person so much that they look Unrecognizable....
She played Alice in Monsoon Wedding too. Brilliant actress!!
She's even played in is love enough, sir and qissa her name is tillotama Shome
Beautiful, i was completely invested in each and every moment, great art!!
Great movie. Loved the concept. This is how a movie should be made. Meaningful and strong story plot. Something one can relate to. Loved every bit of it. So true..big thumb's up guys.
Happiness is inside you not in some other person / things ...

Very crisply made film. Enjoyed watching Konkona & Tilottama. It explained the emptiness & hollowness behind the glamourous world. Well done Jaideep Sarkar ...
nothing can be pure than reality...noting can be beautiful than ordinary...
a great job!!!
kankana...u r super!!!
Amazingly well portrayed. Kudos to both the amazing ladies.
Love for Konkona increases more and more after watching this beauty with brains acting.
Konkana eyes throughout the movie was contradicting with here tongue.... Its really beautiful movie....
Great observation by you
Thanks for this film.
It shows what a happy and satisfactory life means from a right perspective.
Those lines uttered by Girish as to what makes a person happy at the end of the day was an eye opener.
Well Done. Excellent production, direction, acting and choice of setting. Very realistic, and thought provoking. She fit the part & portrayed her character very well.
Can we take a moment and appreciate konkona's acting. On point always *.*
She is fabulous every time ❤
Even Thilotama was top notch.
Human beings wants lies for their existence. Superb story and konakana sen is just supercalifragilisticexpealidocious as always..
Konkona and Tillotama are such underrated actors 💜
Kudos to the story, Koko and Tilli! Great performances!
Alka comes back from Dubai, starts her parlour and is dissatisfied with the transition from rich to poor lifestyle, she fights regularly with husband, lacks a romantic relationship with him which can be seen by the way they sleep. She only had one friend and struggles to deal with daily household chores. She created an imaginary character named Nayantara resembling to the idea of perfect as per her past experiences and due to the loneliness. Nayantara is a projection of her imagination, how she fakes and lives a flashy life, shows off about everything. She got connected with her old friend in FB, who's a CEO now, and is excited to meet with him. Her ideologies of happiness is not fitting with her current poor life and starts discussing her thoughts with her projection Nayantara, she seeks approval from her split personality in order to meet her old school crush Girish and to match the level of a rich person. She meets with him, tries to hide her inferiority complex by lying and realizes he holds a completely different perspective of happy life which is contradictory to her beliefs. Her mind keeps telling the disneyland thing for her son Samar, which her husband can't fulfil now. She comes back home and got shot by the husband due to the regular fights, bank loans, dissatisfaction and miserable life. At night her soul is roaming around and disappeared at last.
thanks for explaining
OOOOOOF!
Omggg!! Thanks..I literally needed this ...😲
Oh, such a deep meaning 😅
I perceived as , she had a friend who teaches her few etiquettes n the frend n son r shot dead - heavy loans... !
she hears / sees about her frend , after her return from meeting d guy @ hotel...!
Then she drops the idea of 5 star ideology... forced hiked living style.... that caused friends life.
A very worth watch short film . The actors are really worth appreciating along with it's story .
great message.....
what the life is in simplicity just cannot be achieved in hype and glamour.
What a concept, performance, Direction and the creativity. Far better then many bollywood's 2.30 hr. Nice.
nice story ...Both acctress simply outstanding
Awesome yaar... So many people have written so much about it. Words fall short for me... Cannot explain how much wonderful this was...
Tillotama is so beautiful! What a natural beauty
Well paced, acted and easy to understand. Perfect short film.
Nayantara : star of the eyes
Moral: Star of the eyes is never the star.
I'm so glad I somehow found my way to this short film. Beautiful. 💛
I'm amazed, this film portrays the hollowness of the materialistic life, relating happiness with luxury and most importantly the generalization of beliefs of Indians residing abroad.
The plot is superb and slow which creates a deeper impact of its aim. Kudos to the team❤
The mask hanging in nayantara's car also explains that she's wearing a mask.
And now Konkana directed Tillotama for Lust Stories 2. It’s so fulfilling to see both of these women succeed and make such huge strides!!!
❤️ tilottama got a screen space that she deserved... Hope to see her more in mainstream...
Superb film..Had tears in my eyes at the end. Please keep making movies
Great work guys..Loved watching Konkona and Tillotama..
Her eyes looled really eerie when alka was talking about going to the US to Girish
great performace by my fave Konkona Sen Sharma... glad to see her back in hindi movies... Aisha in Wake up sid and Page 3 brilliance and this shows another great range of her as an actress... loved it... interesting story and well filmed...
Absolutely and she has got some screen presence which even the painted actresses don't have
czcams.com/video/thenazUM7Go/video.html
Beautiful. So many ways to grasp the story. delicious soup for soul.
Just cannot stop thinking about the story, the two actresses ; just marvellous, splendid acting ofcourse.. Couldn't have watched something better today.
Nayantaras an amazing friend to have despite that she herself lives a deluded life...
Dheeraj is Alka's son says Nayantara while talking to her husband on video call (Samar is their son), then in the kitchen Alka talks about Samar going for Karate classes with the neighbor's son. Confusion?
I have same confusion
She was posing totally nai Tara that's y she said all same as naintara told her
Hats off! Wonderful 😊....left me speechless.
million reasons to love this and many short films. simple short and hits you hard. kudos!
Some ppl are never happy with they have, they chase happiness in things. Happiness is being peaceful and content and accepting everyone's life without comparing or degrading others.
konkona sen i love ur acting n i love this short film... plzz do lot of film project in Bollywood plzzz i m ur big fan
such an eye opener...tells you truth of life..awesome story..awesome acting.
after a long time ....happy to see a meaningful short film...indeed ,its too deep☺
