Short films usually tend to leave a lot unsaid with a strong focus on showcasing filmmaking skills and/or framing a moment or an array of events to tell a story through nuanced performances.
But, any film, short or feature-length, is supposed to give the viewer some form of closure, and that's where this film falters.
"The Booth" is more like a clip from an untold story. Despite the unique premise, multifaceted events and some beautifully emotive moments between the characters, the viewer doesn't really connect, nor respond. It leaves one wanting more - both the before and the after is what the viewer is really interested in when the film ends. There's so much happening, and yet it's all for naught!
Amruta Subhash fits Rekha's shoes perfectly. Parna Pethe as Sargam looks promising.
Here's hoping for a script awaiting production.
