Living Idle
Living Idle
Movie Short
Living Idle is a symbolic short film that reflects actions have consequences.
This is the story of an artist - a creative sculptor of idols,
that puts life and colour into clusters of mud and clay.
Ironically, he fails to add colour to his own creation- his world, his family, his child.
The narrative revolves around how a creation of the sculptor-
an idol of Goddess Durga punishes him (by rendering him indisposed and idle),
when he crosses all limits of abuse and shows him a life of yearning.
The film concludes with a deep dawn of realisation - of how a single action-
takes away from him his ability to be a prolific sculptor-
that of clay and stone and that of his child's future.
The film is embedded with contrasting symbolism, as aptly reflected in its title,
most strongly that of the strength of a woman, of a mother, which is -
representative in Goddess Durga's rendition of 'Good over Evil'.

The hunger for food,
the hunger for physical fulfillment and
the hunger for creativity are natural, necessary and common human instincts.
However, an unbalanced, excessive and uncontrolled desire to fulfill one's hunger
leads to dire consequences, which is the story of The short 'Living Idle'.
Living Idle is my debut short film. With the earlier experience of working under Hollywood director Mr. Shekar Kapur, I attempted this short film. I wanted to do an emotional short film in feature film standards, with a main idea of holding the emotions of audience through out the movie without any distraction or deviation. So, I took enough care in all aspects of the film, starting from pre-production, casting, cinematography, editing, art direction, music etc without compromising on any minute details.
I hope I achieved the desired result and will connect the viewers as well.
The story of Living Idle ..
started with the basic idea of Unconditional Love.
How a women loves her husband and family and goes to any extent to shed her love without any expectations or without any bias of the deeds what the opponent does to her.
In Act01 we see how pathetic her condition is in terms of financial burden, husband's misbehavior, kids expectations etc, still she never gave up, kept trying to fix the situations.
In Act02, looking at her condition and the situation which was going through, the nature itself tried to control by pouring rain drops on him to disturb. since his cruelty is at the peak, he gets the punishment from the divine.
In Act03, we see how she turns her pathetic condition into a beautiful life,
Living idle of husband and supporting the family by becoming the bread earner of the home. Looking at all of these, the husband finally understands..
what a true love is and how his wife had become his mother, by forgiving all his ruthless deeds which he did in the past.
So, we concluded the film saying a true and unconditional love has immense power to change any worst condition.
