I watched this short movie. It's very gripping and presents an unfortunate reality that so many women face silently every day. It dealt with some hard facts in a very delicate manner. That your education may have nothing to do with your being a victim of intimate partner violence is a very important one. The other theme that seemed to emerge is that the person who inflicts violence is himself suffering from a severe mental health disorder. As much as we need to highlight the plight of these women and protect them, as a society we also need to explore the situations that lead to this mental health disorder among such men, and understand what we can do to prevent it and support these men as well. A very gripping and thought-provoking movie...

Phenomenal Performance With Great Story
sonalparmar-4740729 December 2022
This short film brought back for me all the horrifying experiences we all had throughout Pandemic COVID 19 during the past two years. The most terrifying possibility was contracting Covid. This superbly shot 15-minute short film is based on COVID 19 and the domestic violence that the majority of women still experience in silence today. It's high time now for women to take a stand and fight for their rights. The two extremely brilliant actors Joy Sengupta and Mona Singh give a wonderful performance. The kid performance is superb. We should all be grateful to Sonya V. Kapoor, the story's writer and director, for her work.

The short flim speak for itself if you stay quite or dont do something about the matter it wil stay as it is.
Sometimes the fear in you make you to take a harsh decision which might be in your favour.
But you would always be afraid if someone might know what you did.
So never be afraid to speak for yourself.
Dont overlook Domestic Violence which will cost you your whole life.
Be brave and speak, because Ek Chup will give the other the authority/right to treat you as he/She wants.
A well written short film Ek Chup which is worth to watch as covid has shown us the people which have suffered in this difficult times.

A Must Watch Short Film!!!
pammyraj27 December 2022
Ek Chup, a must watch movie for everyone. It's a short film but no less than a full movie. Hope this movie turns out to be a blockbuster. Good script, good direction, great acting. Entire message of Domestic Violence was conveyed through a short film in just 15 min.
This movie is available absolutely free on Hotstar, this short film is giving such a good message without spending any penny.
In Covid I was scared, worried. And some people were victims of domestic violence. Domestic violence, covid, everything together what else do you want in a movie to watch.
A powerful story that everyone should watch. Loved the whole movie without blinking an eye. And the same is expected from anyone else.

A good example of "desperate times call for desperate measures". This short film encapsulates the overall frustration felt during the Covid-19 lockdown.
When the lockdown was forcing people to stay at home providing families with more time to be spent together, there were spike in divorce and domestic abuse.
I hope such films get the attention they deserve and raise awareness about domestic abuse, which is often ignored.
I grew up watching Jassi aka Mona Singh, who is a fantastic actor who nails every role to perfection. The girl does an excellent job acting.
Worth watching with your whole family. Nicely directed, looking forward to watch more films directed by Sonya Kapoor.

Far Better than Expectations
rkonlinesolutions24 December 2022
Suddenly landed up to this Short Movie on Hotstar, while scrolling through. And must say, it was a worth watching story. Excellent piece of direction and acting for all the actors.
No doubt this gonna superhit blockbuster thriller drama movie. Mona Singh as always at her best. The way she portrayed the role, nobody else could have done it.
Worth watching 15 minutes of non-stop superb drama. Domestic violence must be stopped, and voice against it is a must. It's a must watch movie for all. Not sure whether it is also available in English or with English subtitles for global audiences. It should be featured globally.

Excellent Story without wasting 3 hours
pramodkram20 December 2022
The best was I do not have to waste 3 hours to watch this Movie. Short Movies are depicting very well now-a-days. It's a worth watch Family drama in just 15 minutes. A must watch short film on Covid and Domestic Violence. Domestic Violence is the main reason behind divorce for many, the other reasons you already know could be dowry or some external relationships. Covid has caused frustration for many. But Mona Singh played the role really well. And the Kid acting was awesome. Excellent Direction by Sonya Kapoor. Worth spending your 15 minutes to watch such short movies. Such movies must be promoted, but may be due to short budget, it gets any exposure. But as it's on Hotstar OTT, it will reach mass audience.
Top-Notch Short Film on Domestic Violence
ajitram-7674429 December 2022
I recently watched the short film "Ek Chup" and was thoroughly impressed by the emotional depth and powerful storytelling of this film.
The film follows the story of a young girl named Sara, who is struggling with the challenges of growing up and finding her place in the world. As she grapples with the expectations placed upon her by society and her own family, she finds solace in the quiet moments of her day, when she can escape the noise and chaos of the world and simply be herself.
One of the things that I particularly appreciated about "Ek Chup" was the way it explored the theme of identity and the importance of finding one's own voice. Sara's journey to discover who she is and what she wants is one that will resonate with many people, and the film handles this topic with sensitivity and care.
Mona Singh's acting in this film is also top-notch, with all of the performers delivering heartfelt and authentic performances. The cinematography is beautiful, capturing the lush beauty of the film's setting and adding to the overall atmosphere of the film.
Overall, "Ek Chup" is a beautifully crafted and deeply moving short film on domestic violence that is sure to stay with you long after you've watched it. I highly recommend giving it a watch if you get the chance.

The story of covid victims
gujratidarshan29 December 2022
Mona Singh has done a phenomenal job and complete justice to the role. It uncovered the backstory of all covid fighters (doctor), which had a very dark hectic phase 6 months after the covid strike in India,
I have felt this great story from the bottom of my heart because I have witnessed the moment that covid has created inside the home, not only mine but others too. The depression of finance, relations and trapped feeling inside the home led to growth in domestic violence.
Along with this, the story also revealed the stress, which was an experience by women during the lockdown and home pressure could not be expressed in words. Great salute to all women and doctors who have fought this great battle with great courage and patience.
Ek chup's story was a truly unique story of domestic violence, but it has to give a lesson to all co-partners who ignore the mental and emotional wellness of their wife and just think they are the only ones who handle all sorts of pressure and ignore the mental wellness of wife.
It is a must-watch story for all couple to understand their partner, mentally, physically and emotionally, to live life happily under the worst conditions.

A small piece with a strong social message
neharkweb27 December 2022
Warning: Spoilers
It presents a sad truth that many women deal with silently daily and is gripping. It handled some difficult facts in a very gentle way. It is crucial to understand that being a victim of intimate partner violence may not be related to your education.
Domestic violence and divorce rates increased as a result of the lockdown's requirement that individuals stay at home, which gave families more time to spend together.
I hope that both movies gain the recognition they merit and increase understanding of domestic abuse, which is frequently downplayed.
Superb... What a twist loved it and mona sing is always the best actress.
It was a good short film.
