(OTT) South Asian entertainment platform by Eros International PLC and directed by critically acclaimed Tanuja Chandra under the category 'Anthology Of Shorts'.
'A Monsoon Date' written by Gazal Dhaliwal and produced by Rakesh Singh is about an eventful, rainy evening when a young woman is on her way to see a young man she is dating. Along the way, she experiences bittersweet moments with a series of strangers, even as a storm brews inside her. Today, she has decided to reveal to the young man a heart-breaking truth about her past.
This truth, she knows, is not possible for anybody to understand. And yet, she hopes that he would. With her heart pounding like the torrential rain around her, she holds on to this unreasonable hope.
The short film will be followed by a panel discussion hosted by Ritam Bhatnagar, Head of Indian Film Project with panelists Tanuja Chandra, Konkona Sen Sharma, Gazal Dhaliwal and Ridhima Lulla, Chief Content Officer, Eros Group.
