MADHATTERS
Man of Chores
Madhatters released a brand new short film on the 29th of October. The film follows the press conference of a hardworking yet underappreciated Aditya, the titular character. The idea behind the script was to highlight domestic drudgery and its effects on the young guys and girls living with their parents. The lead character is someone living his dream; the dream of being recognized for his fair share of efforts in day-to-day tasks. The conference takes place on one particularly adventurous day. Although Aditya has his highs and lows of the day, he is strongheaded about it. And like every other Man of Chores, he knows that tomorrow he will have to wake up and do these tasks again.

Written by Krishna Shreeram and Alok Kumar, the skit is very relatable and natural. It effectively captures the emotions where one feels like they should be recognized for their daily household grind. The film is available on Madhatter’s Instagram and Youtube handles. Nazar Na Lage
After the release of the last episode of ‘How Not to Talk to Anyone’ in late November 2020, Madhatters made a comeback with a brand new short film ‘Nazar Na Lage’. It was published on 15th August with the single motive to make you laugh, whilst letting you know about the effect of “nazar”. Packed with comedy and some family drama, the film centers around an all too relatable family and their nosy aunt. The family’s desperate efforts to avert her “nazar” transpire into a suspenseful ending. Now it is up to the audience to decide whether they are superstitious or not. With a month in the making, the video was a collaborative effort of writers, actors, directors, and editors working on it from different countries. Shooting and editing became some specific challenges which the team had to overcome with countless video calls and audio recordings. The film is available on Madhatters’ Instagram and Youtube pages. Written by Aditya Sreenivas and Karthik Sunil, this film is a satire that pokes fun at society’s unnecessary interest in other people’s businesses. Do check it out!
