In the short film Chandra is quite upset about an issue and wants to confront it with her husband by telling it to him. She starts on a very simple talks and shocks her husband by saying that she have a dream of having sex with a stranger on a hilltop. This crazy thinking by Chandra shocks the husband Das and there starts a big fight. He starts to think and argue why did she take such decision?
Anupama Parameswaran who played the role of Chandra is the major attraction of this short film. She was very expressive as Chandra who is quite upset with the way her husband is treating her. The guilt and pain that she is going through, Anupama brings it out so nicely. Das is also very impressive as the husband. The way he goes doubting his wife Chandra and asks her uncomfortable questions is so good to see in the short film. There are only two characters and each other shares very good chemistry.
Freedom at midnight is a short film that brings out the issues of a married woman. The whole concept of the short film is to show how bad does a woman feels when a husband dreams about someone else in bed. This concept has been shot and conceived in a beautiful manner. The short film starts off with Anupama consulting her friend whether to ask her husband about all this to him directly.
Then the scenes of husband and wife arguing are shown perfectly. The manner in which her husband confronting her why she is thinking in such a bad manner and what is troubling her. In such situations, dialogues are quite key and the manner in which the dialogues are written brings out the pain in the role chandra’s life.
About the depression and how the wife makes the husband understand that she is not the sex object and wants to have freedom at midnight is shown in a very realistic manner. Freedom at Midnight is a harsh reality of many women which makes you think ten times about the behavior of women.
