All Unpaused – 2020 Songs Lyrics

INFORMATION

STORY: Unpaused is an anthology of five short films that resonate with our lives during corona and our hope for a better tomorrow despite the odds. The film pays an ode to Mumbai, undying human spirit and our ability to forge relationships in the most unlikely scenario.

In September this year, the Malayalam film industry rolled out the first big pandemic innovation from Indian cinema with the Fahadh Faasil-starrer C U Soon. It was shot completely during the lockdown adhering to physical distancing requirements and other government-mandated COVID19 protocols. Keeping in mind the restrictions on crew and actor interactions, director Mahesh Narayanan zeroed in on the desktop genre to tell a tale that unfolded entirely on computer and cellphone screens through video chats, texts and voice messages between a handful of characters. C U Soon worked because it was not a mere technological gimmick – the choice of form was a good fit for the story and would have made sense even if the real world was not grappling with COVID-19 . Incidentally, the pandemic was not the setting of the film.

Direction, Music

Raj & DK take a modern route to tell their version of the story, and there’s so much to like about their world. Without getting into much technical detailing, they focus more on the voice assistant their lead uses and that works in their favour.

Nikhhil Advani goes dark and basic for his story. Covering the panic attack of his character amid the chaos of ‘thali programme’ was a smart inclusion.

Tannishtha Chatterjee’s Rat-A-Tat is dialogue-heavy, and its writing really helps to keep the intrigue alive. Avinash Arun desify’s a short sub-plot from Bong Jon-Hoo’s Parasite. However, it doesn’t achieve what others do ending on a rather abrupt note. Nitya Mehra lets her characters do the major lift-ups keeping everything basic.

Glitch has the best songs of all – Mujh Mein Hai Tu & Rastey (Fiddlecraft) indicate Ayesha & Ahan’s mood very well. Surprised to know Rat-A-Tat’s super soothing song ‘Badarva’ is crooned by Tannishtha Chatterjee. Background score is equally good in every story.
