New Delhi: Producer-entrepreneur duo Deepshikha Deshmukh and Jackky Bhagnani  won the Best Short Film Award for their short film ‘Carbon: The Story Of Tomorrow’ at Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Awards 2020. The film featuring Jackky Bhagnani and Nawazuddin Siddiqui was released on YouTube by Royal Stag Large Short Films. The short film was received well and managed to earn good reviews.


The movie is set in 2067 and explores a hypothesis on the issue of global warming, where carbon gas thrives in abundance and oxygen has turned into an expensive commodity. Over that, there is a dearth of clean drinking water due to climate change. The 24-minute film was smartly executed providing a mirror to a possible reality.
