Lullaby
As loving mother relentlessly tends to her restless baby, her anguished husband can’t take it anymore, so he reveals a harsh reality, hoping she’ll see the light.
Poojitha Prasad’s excellent writing and directing erases the cultural divide. In Lullaby, she demonstrates our universal language. As humans, we understand signs, so a crying baby, from any culture, seeks attention. Prasad uses universal human interaction to connect with the audience.
Lullaby is a powerful drama that takes us into the world of a young woman who awakes when she hears her baby cry. This is what mommies do. They get up all hours of the night to feed, burp, change, and sing the baby to sleep.

In a normal world, I would sigh, with relief, because she has some help, but the guy hasn’t helped. Again, Prasad uses our universal language by showing the mom caring for the baby with no help from dad. To many of us, this is typical. Moms get up, dads don’t, so there’s nothing to question, until the hubby begins to pack his bags. “Are you kidding?” I said, to the screen. Though I see this typical relationship issue, I’m floored that the hubby is remotely emotional because we haven’t heard a peep out of him. Prasad deceives us beautifully by luring us to promptly side with the mom, until the dad reveals his thoughts about her tending to the baby.
The short dialogue jolts us with enthralling information, allowing our natural emotions take over as we fall witness to the mother not accepting cold, hard facts. We want to console her and tell her it’s okay, but it’s really, not. At the same time, we feel for the dad, too. This drama is a keeper.
The beauty of this heartbreaking scene is that we can relate. Sure, we want the mom to get better and we want the husband to stay, but something must change for it to happen on a healthy level. Torn apart, by having to feel for both parties, I couldn’t choose between them. It seemed like a betrayal and by the end of the film, I hoped for the best. That’s all I could
