Talking to DT Next, the director of the film Balaji SBR said, “There is hardly any short film that has spoken about what the families of martyrs who protect our country at the border go through. That is what Unarthal is all about. It talks about a widow of a martyr and how she misses her husband, who lost his life in war.

 All that she has is the memories and his belongings.” The video has won several awards across the country. “People gave a standing ovation in a few screenings and director Vijay Milton too saw the video and praised our team for the effort,” added Balaji. Anjali Rao plays the lead role in the film.
