About “Mental Health Day”
“Ginita Sunaina’s ‘Mental Health Day’ intricately explores the profound journey of self-discovery and healing through the eyes of a young woman grappling with inner turmoil. The plot unfolds as the protagonist navigates the chaotic whirlwind of her daily life, struggling to find clarity amidst mounting pressures and uncertainties. Overwhelmed by her responsibilities and expectations, she gradually realizes that she has been neglecting her own mental health. This realization serves as a catalyst for introspection, prompting her to confront the deep-seated anxieties and insecurities that have plagued her existence.”
“As she embarks on a journey of self-care and self-acceptance, the protagonist discovers the transformative power of addressing her mental health needs. Through therapy, support from loved ones, and personal reflection, she begins to find peace and clarity within herself. ‘Mental Health Day’ poignantly portrays the importance of prioritizing mental well-being in today’s fast-paced world, emphasizing the significance of self-awareness and seeking help when needed. Sunaina’s sensitive direction captures the nuances of mental health struggles with empathy and authenticity, inspiring viewers to recognize the value of mental health care in achieving inner harmony and resilience.”
From the Director’s pen
I am really excited to learn that my films have been nominated in the short film category at the prestigious “Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival”.
The encouragement a filmmaker receives for numerous days of hard work is worth every minute of blood and sweat.
I believe that through the medium of films I can convey socially relevant messages to today’s youth and try to make this world a little bit better .
I thank the jury and the team at Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival for their encouragement and commit to continue making path breaking films towards society upliftment and do my bit for India.
