'Shorts' produced by AKFPL, Anurag Kashyap’s production company, is an interesting mix. Five separate short films by budding filmmakers, who came together to make this film. Saying a story in a limited time can be tricky and that perhaps was the biggest challenge for these five filmmakers.

The film starts with 'Sujata' by Shlok Sharma. Huma Qureshi (brilliant as usual) plays the title role. 'Sujata' has been subjected to constant abuse, sexual and otherwise by her cousin since her childhood. She tries escaping the trauma but he tracks her down. Finally, Sujata gets her moment of triumph. A well-written plot, aided by deft cinematography and Huma’s talent, 'Sujata' keeps you engrossed and involved.
