It's not always easy to treat a serious subject like rape with a light hearted touch and maintain sensitivity at the same time. But one Delhi based channel has managed to achieve exactly that.
Old Delhi Films, the two year old
online entertainment channel has a new short video. It is a spoof, in the form
of a commercial for a product called ‘Anti Rape Cream’, which is funny and
makes a deep social statement as well.
The No To Rape video shows how some men’s mis-perceptions give them wrong ideas about the women around them, leading them to either be judgmental or misbehave. Old Delhi Films, which brings together a bunch of theatre people, believes that the digital platform allows them to amplify their reach in a manner just not possible through theatre. And this is exactly the thought that made them create the No To Rape video in comic form as well. They believe that the message will then reach to a wide range of people.

Moreover, they believe, that by bringing it across in a comic form, they do not negatively trigger anyone, which is possible in a serious video. The channel will come out with more social and funny videos in the future as well, though some of its videos tend to be pure comic and not always social. Below is a link to the video for the Anti-Rape Cream. It has some explicit language, so be warned! Enjoy!
