Mom tackles new species in Terribly Tiny short: Jai Mata Di

MUMBAI: YouTube's 'Best Girlfriend'-fame writer-director Navjot Gulati has made 'Jai Mata Di, a special short, on Mother's Day starring real-life mother-daughter Supriya-Shriya Pilgaonkar which went live on Saturday morning.

Terribly Tiny Talkies, a storytelling collective, brings together distinctive and talented filmmakers from India to craft thematic short films under ten minutes.

This humour filled short drama is about a couple, Suraj and Ananya, who are shifting from Bangalore to Mumbai and want to live-in together to kick off a new phase in their relationship. They go house-hunting but can't just find a house that Ananya likes until they see an apartment which has her heart set on but there is a hitch, the housing society does not allow unmarried couples. Their broker Datta Verma comes to their rescue, he suggests that they pose as brother-sister and call Ananya's mother's to come for the society meeting assuring them that they are indeed siblings.

Terribly Tiny Talkies' co-founder & CCO Chintan Ruparel, and chief writer & creative producer Sharanya Rajgopal say, "Mumbai is a funny city. But, when it comes to two people living under the same roof without a marriage certificate, it’s not religion, caste, or even the parents that’s the biggest hurdle. It’s a species that dictates the law of the land without really owning it -- the society secretary. But, as they say, there’s nothing that mom can’t solve."

Gulati says, “Every Mother's Day, we see some heart-wrenching story being told and people sharing the content with a heavy heart. This day, however, they will share the content with a smile."

Shriya Pilgaokar, who made her debut opposite Shahrukh Khan in Fan last year, says, "This is extremely special to me because mom and I worked together for the first time."
