CGiii Comment

Nothing quite like a mothers' revenge.

And...it really is rather delightful.

There's a nascent talent at work here.


Watch...

The(ir) Blurb...

When an Indian mother finds out her son is the victim of a vicious homophobic bully, she delivers her own brand of vigilante justice. Part electric action thriller, part exhilarating comedy, ‘Kali Ma’ finds the secrets that divide mothers and sons and the love that brings them together.
Winner, Best Short Film, Rosebud Awards
