Sunny Leone’s ‘11 Minutes’ has a terrific social message

Within eleven minutes, the short film sends a strong message about a vital topic, but laced with humour and joy. The film opens with a dying man, whose folks fuss around him to fulfill his last wish. 

While their choices range from the neighbor's goat’s milk to miniature dolls to imported harmonica, the dying man has an entirely unique request. 

He wants Sunny Leone. This peculiar request makes the womenfolk blush and the menfolk smile creepily, but it’s his last wish…thus, Sunny is roped in. What the film does brilliantly is exploit Sunny’s background in such an aesthetic way that you feel happy for the dying man. But, alas! He succumbs to his unknown illness even before the two can consummate their marriage. 

Thus, his last wish remains a wish. All thanks to smoking. The short film takes a rather quirky look at the consequences of smoking and we are sure that it’s making the right noises at the right places. Kudos to the team for their terrific though. 

Alok Nath as the father, Deepak Dobriyal as the man on his deathbed and Sunny Leone as the woman to his rescue are picture-perfect. They have understood their cues well and execute their parts in a believable manner.
