‘Ahalya’ and ‘Alma’ – Drive the Message Beautifully
It is really interesting to find two short films so similar and good in concept and content, yet different from each other. I’m here talking about recently released Sujoy Ghosh’s short film Ahalya and the 2009-released critically acclaimed creepy animated film “Alma”.

‘Strangerland’ (2015) – Kidman Shines, Film Lacks Thrill
The Australian-Irish suspense drama “Strangerland” is overall a good one from debutant director Kim Farrant but somehow lacks thrill.
