The heart-warming tale of a mother-daughter relationship
– ‘Best Friends Forever’, helmed by Sandeep Modi, is creating quite a stir in
the world of short films.
Sandeep even won the National Award for this educational
short film, which was adjudged as the 'Best Film on Family Values' at the
recently announced prestigious awards.
Talking about the film, Sandeep who is an alumni of FTII
Pune and a renowned name in the advertising industry said, “Best Friends
Forever is a perspective. What happens when we build our life towards a loved
one, nurture her, support her and when she is ready to fly off we feel jealous
and betrayed as we are not ready for the selflessness expected of us? I wanted
to discover the emotional state of a mother who has given it all and is now on
the brink, realizing she is no longer needed as her daughter is now ready to
‘fly solo’. Between the anger and the coming to term with this truth, are many
beautiful shades of gray we don’t realize exist in mothers. Best Friends Forever is my attempt to
discover these shades that a woman overcomes, in her journey of selflessness
called motherhood.”
Sandeep, who
started his career in films assisting noted film-maker likes Ram Gopal
Verma (Sarkar Raj), RakeyshOmprakashMehra (Delhi 6),
and AshutoshGowariker (Khelein Hum JeeJaanSey), was last associated with
the much acclaimed Sonam Kapoor starrer Neerja. Sandeep had designed,
choreographed, and executed the action climax inside the airplane. He even
directed the promotional music video for the film titled
'AankheinMilayengeyDarr Se'.
While
‘Best Friends Forever’ is continuing to wow the audience, Sandeep is ready with
his next short film 'Vanvaas', starring legendary Piyush Mishra in the lead.
The film has already travelled and played at festivals in Toronto and Dallas
