This Indian Short Film About A Saleswoman Is Both Strange & Dark

A travelling saleswoman. 3 potential customers.

Terribly Tiny Tales has always had the knack for putting out stellar short films. And Srinivas Sunderrajan’s ‘Mamta Tonic’ is no different. Starring Suhita Thatte, the film chronicles the tale of a travelling saleswoman eager to sell her homemade tonic to customers. After persistently knocking on doors she manages to crack some customers and gets comfortable at their homes. Her warm charisma seems welcoming and harmless, but is there more?

As she rambles on about the magic of ‘Mamta Tonic’, she occasionally slips in anecdotes about life. She weighs the pros of her homemade tonic against the cons of making tough choices in life. As the three customers finally warm up to the idea of giving this old lady a chance, things take a turn.
