At times, work from home can be tiring and uninterrupted. A timely break is a must, but sadly, the films and web series that we want to stream are very time consuming. And that's exactly where short films save the day. In the matter of minutes, these short films rejuvenate and refresh us before we can get back to the mundane routine of presentations and client calls. The next time, you're looking for something to watch in your break time, this list of five short films will certainly do the trick. Thank us later!

1) Devi (YouTube)


This suspense-drama short film is directed by debutante Priyanka Banerjee and features a stellar star cast in the form of Kajol, Shruti Haasan, Neha Dhupia and Neena Kulkarni. This movie depicts a hypothetical, yet, realistic story of 9 women, from different ladders of society, who are forced to live together due to circumstances. The room full of women sends out a spine-chilling message against rape, the atrocities and violence that women face in our country. It's a hair-raising experience that will certainly be more thrilling than your day, that we surely guarantee.

2) In My room (MUBI)


In My Room is a 20-minute long movie made entirely during the lockdown confinement. Having premiered at the prestigious Venice Film Festival, this film is a melancholic story about a woman and her associations with womanhood, freedom and transmission through her grandmother's recordings. Celebrating feminism at its very best, this movie embraces and appreciates the complexities and contradictions that make up the experiences of women in the 21st century.

3) Unpaused (Amazon Prime Video)


Looking at the current situation where these testing times have taken a toll on us, a movie like Unpaused seems like a perfect getaway.

All set to release on December 18, exclusively on Amazon Prime Video, Unpaused is one that you certainly shouldn't miss out on.

4) Rubaru (2020) (YouTube)


Rubaru, the directorial debut of Bollywood actress Tisca Chopra, paints an honest picture of the struggles that an artist has to suffer in order to entertain people. With the issue of mental health being so very important in the times that we live, Rubaru is a fascinating and accurate story of a film star and her spirit. The film dives into the challenges that one faces physically and mentally for an actor as they try to fit into the skin of their character. Add to that, the movie also shows how these celebrities try to cope with failure and hide their emotions.

5) Kaande Pohe (YouTube)


While the story of this film seems quite ordinary and normal, but it still manages to make a telling point via its unique and different storytelling style. This movie is about how people from the older generation, with their own perceptions and beliefs, should be updated when they look for a bride. The film sees a meeting between a prospective bride and groom being arranged the old-fashioned arranged marriage style. Showing that characters in the movies have also come a long way and changed for the better, the scene shows the groom standing up to his parents and change their perceptions about the roles and duties of a woman.
