Galli by Santosh Ram is an excellent short film which paints a real life picture of the people living in the lane; on screen. The film is not a regular storytelling format which follows start to end story sequence and sequel but the film makes us go through different events happening in a week. I personally loved the use of the notice board and the light pole in the film which has been used very artistically to portray the main concept of the film. Big hand for the actors and the music/sound team. this film is worth a watch. Kudos to the director and his team.
