I know personally know how texting while driving can injure or kill . My love thx be to god survived a accident. Seeing the car hit from all sides, you would ask, how did the person survive this crash??? You never know the person you are texting is driving, if you know, maybe the clue of the mis-spelled words....or when he said he's coming. I am sure he was not walking. So hopefully this video serves as a PSA.

Hope more ppl will learn to wait to talk or text when not driving.

Mods, dont you see this troll????

Again with the racist remarks, and not following the CG's ....

Gezzz grow up. The film was made for a reason, don't matter what nationality is.

Nice film.

needs to be treated..

just because the film is made by a certain provincein India, you need not ridicule them.

it is a fantastic film, a theme told in such a short time

We have three problems here, re driving :

The 'locals' who do not give a shit about anybody - the law is on their side. Arrogant tossers who did not give a shit!

Then we have low life Indians!

Then we have us - we KNOW how to drive.

There used to be two sides to every story but now sadly there are three. The no brain cell people (Indians), the ones that know how to drive ( WESTERNERS) and the others-

Some people here are really sad. Good try to the people who made this short film. It passed on the message to me. I will be more careful when I use my phone while driving. I usually don't text. But I do read messages.

Congrats. Very nicely done. And you are right, ppl stop being racist. It does not matter what nationality the actor/actress is. They did great filming to get this message across.

I was highly involved in 48hr Film Challenge event that this film was made for. It was open to anyone in Qatar and aimed to spur creativity and interest in filmmaking. There were two prizes, and this film won one of them. It is a very nice film-- made from script to final edit in 48 hours, using only equipment already owned by the team-- and it has a very good, important message. This is the first time any mention of ethnicity has come up, and I find it to be very sad that it had to go that route. The suggestion that people from a certain area are only good for "serving karak" is disgusting. This team did something fantastic, and many have rightly congratulated them. You should as well.

What the actors/actresses nationality is????

the point is, it was a 48 hr film challenge, and it's message was clear. Dont use the phone while driving.!

Have a nice day.

Someone suggested to test it for yourself .. by saying 'coconut' near her ear & she would stop texting & look at you ..

But why should one go that far just to prove ?

This woman has dark skin with a thick layer of pink stuff on cheeks / eye lids / facial hair removed / lower lip little hanging / is a pointer towards her ethnicity .. Then never adjusted her hair / dress around face are some other observations ..

The most powerful punch is 'they' [ makers of this clip ]seldom involve 'others' in their projects .. traditionally.

i dont knwo why Ganpatrao is so much angry about malayali people...

pls think ,whether Ganpatrao can direct a film like this ?

It is easy to criticise somebody sitting on a gallery

the best films in India are made in Bengali & Malayalam.

from the posts, Ganpatrao seems to be liking , the 3rd class , masala, bollywood commercial films
