DISCUSSION WITH TEAM CHEEPATAKADUMPA 
'Cheepatakadumpa' is a short film by 'Bhonsle' famed director Devashish Makhija. A black comedy film, it’s outlandish, the freewheeling script was improvised over many weeks of rehearsals with the film’s actors all hailing from India’s National School of Drama

CHEEPATAKADUMPA : IRREVERENT
"evokes a feeling of lightness of being — ideal for a film that set out to speak about ‘that which must not be spoken, women’s sexuality’"

CHEEPATAPADUMPA : WONDERFULLY PERFORMED. BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN.
"the film takes an absurdist take that unleashes... a long, mystical sequence that encapsulates the soul of this film, and the surrealist route that takes it to the beautifully written final scene..."

CHEEPATAKADUMPA: HITTING THE G-SPOT
“…treads a thin line, carefully manoeuvring the plot and keeping it on track without being preachy or voyeuristic, and that’s quite a feat to say it all in barely 23 minutes.”

CHEEPATAKADUMPA: SHORT FILM OF THE DAY
"Authentic, unique and extremely entertaining… (the film) portrays the myriad ways in which the friendship of three women gets tied with sexuality, loyalty, looking out for one another and lastly, but also quite importantly - the big O!"
