The first digital film titled “Parda” in the series stars Anjali Sivaraman with popular actor & dancer Shantanu Maheshwari in leading roles. In times when the faces of people are not fully visible due to mask-wearing protocols – how do you test the waters of attraction and initiate a conversation with someone you think you like. This is a prevalent question for our current times and also forms the very crux of the first digital film ‘Parda’.

The storyline of this digital film revolves around the morning office-going ritual of two individuals with the female lead keen to break the ice and engage in a conversation with her fellow passenger in the lift.

Center fresh mints with its instant fresh breath proposition are portrayed as the enabler of confidence for the lead protagonist.  Her confidence backed by fresh breath, helps her eventually break the ice with the co-passenger & bring alive the magic of first meetings in true Dharma style.

Punit Malhotra & his team from Dharma 2.0 have been instrumental in the creative ideation of this premise.
