One Digital Entertainment launches new short film on content platform Blush
Mumbai: Digital media company One Digital Entertainment has released a new short film titled “Sunkissed – Babyface” on its recently acquired content platform – Blush. The short film directed by Dixshant Gaurav Kala depicts the love journey of a young couple and how their love marriage falls apart with all the toxicity and domestic violence.
The film tells a story of a girl next door who builds all whims and fancies around her marriage and continues to be a victim of domestic violence without voicing it. The film takes a visually poetic tone to explore emotions with purity and subtlety. It gradually expands to show the dilemma of love and relationship create and how it affects our ability to choose what is right for us.
“Unfortunately domestic violence has been part of society for a long time. With the onset of this pandemic, the mental, physical and sexual abuse cases have increased manyfold. In most cases, victims usually refrain from voicing it out and consider it a normal chore and develop the mindset that it would change with time,” said One Digital Entertainment co-founder Gurpreet Singh. “Through this short film, we want to convey to all the victims to stand up and fight this for themselves. We are glad to launch this short film brilliantly directed by Dixshant on our recently acquired content platforms Blush.”

Prime Video and Hrithik Roshan reunite for quirky heist comedy Mess
HRX Films expands pact with quirky heist comedy set for production
MUMBAI: Prime Video is doubling down on its partnership with Hrithik Roshan, announcing a new comedy film Mess that promises chaos, chuckles and a clever twist on the classic heist.
Produced by Hrithik Roshan and Eshaan Roshan under HRX Films, a division of FilmKraft Productions, the film is being made in association with Soda Films Lab. Directed by Rajesh A Krishnan, Mess marks the second collaboration between the streaming platform and HRX Films after the upcoming thriller Storm.
At the heart of Mess lies an unusual premise. A group of robbers break into the home of a man with OCD, only to find themselves outmatched in a night-long standoff that flips the script on who is really in control. It is a set-up that blends tension with humour, turning a break-in into a breakdown of expectations.
Prime Video India director and head of originals Nikhil Madhok said, “A good story should surprise and entertain, and Mess does both with ease. It brings together a unique premise, memorable characters and a tone that keeps you laughing throughout.”
He added that the collaboration with HRX Films continues to grow stronger, with the new film reflecting a shared appetite for bold and original storytelling.
Hrithik Roshan said, “After Storm, Mess feels like a natural next step in our journey with Prime Video. The film captures the kind of unconventional storytelling we want to champion, with Rajesh bringing a distinctive voice to the narrative.”
Director Rajesh A Krishnan said, “The world of Mess is a mix of comedy and chaos, unusual enough to keep audiences on edge while still delivering humour. It has been a deeply collaborative and creatively fulfilling experience.”
The original screenplay comes from Paul Soter, with adaptation and dialogues by Kapil Sawant, adding another layer of craft to the film’s offbeat narrative.
As production gears up, Mess looks ready to live up to its name, serving up a delightful tangle of mayhem, mischief and movie magic for audiences in India and beyond.
