Love Today (App(a) Lock)
If you are someone who was quite active on YouTube five years ago, you might be familiar with the ‘First Clap’ short film competition conducted by Movie Buff. App(a) Lock was one of the shorts that was shortlisted for the contest, finding love among many.
Phones are like a small world that’s private to just us. It irks us when we give our phone to someone to see an image and they start swiping without permission. But what if your lover, of all people, gets to keep your phone for a whole day and check anything and everything?
When a nervous Karthik visits Nikitha’s house to speak about their marriage, her father has no questions, but just one lethal suggestion: that the couple exchange their phones for a day. He assures that if they still want to get married after 24 hours, he will arrange for the wedding. While the short film ends on a comical note, the feature film, which will be released tomorrow, will narrate their fights and their families’ reactions. Will they still choose to get married? What do you think?
