In this chase, Vasu gets hit by a police bike, and the police start to question him about why he was running and what was happening. Without any hesitation, Vasu and Kamini explain everything to the policeman. Suddenly, the whole story diverts after Kamini reveals that Vasu was not actually following Kamini, but her boyfriend “Appu.”

However, Vasu admits that he was following her boyfriend, Appu, because he loved him. And Vasu also add that his love for Appu is true and having a homo-sexual relation is completely normal. After a few discussion, the police man decides to ask Appu, if he is okay about this and whom do he want to be with. As a reply to the question, Appu points his finger towards Kamini and they both walk away.

This situation made Vasu sad and heartbroken. The police man tries to calm him down, and the short film ends with a comedy scene where the police man says, “If boys like you cannot find a suitable guy, you can try uncles like me.”

Appreciation and Critics:

The cinematography of this Tamil short film, “Podango (Get Lost),” is very decent. KSM Raja has done a good job with it. I’d like to congratulate the actors on their work, especially Vasu, who plays Vasu throughout the short film. The short film had good frames in it. And the comedy deliveries are good as well. And as a viewer, I really would like to appreciate their attempt to generate content that supports homosexual affairs in today’s society. Overall, Guna Govarthanan did a decent job of making this short film.
