Short film review: '7 Star Dinosor Entertainment' is poignant comment on migrant workers and their struggles
Still from '7 Star Dinosor Entertainment'
Migrant labourers from tiny villages and towns travel to large cities in the hopes of earning a livelihood and building a name for themselves. Every day, thousands of individuals board trains for metro cities across India, leaving their families and everything behind.
In 2020, when the world was forced to shut down due to the pandemic, migrant workers were the most impacted by the lockdown; their life was altered in a single day—no house, no employment, nothing. Vaishali Naik's latest short film ‘7 Star Dinosor Entertainment’ also depicts the story of two migrant labourers who lost everything in their lives thanks to the pandemic.
The 19-minute short film tells the story of two brothers, Sudhir and Vinod, who were earning well from their small business together, ‘7 Star Dinosor Entertainment.’ Dressed in Dinosaur costumes, they used to perform at local get-togethers, birthday parties, and malls. The two brothers were doing well until COVID-19 invaded our lives, halting public gatherings for nearly two years.
The torment story of two brothers may not be able to keep you hooked for straight 19 minutes, but it will undoubtedly make you think about migrant workers and how their lives have been terribly altered as a result of the COVID-19 epidemic.
