BALCONY BUDDIES - MX PLAYER
This Friendship Day, watch the story of a lockdown friendship like never before with Amazon presents Balcony Buddies, an MX Special Interactive Film Starring Aisha Ahmed and Amol Parashar, the interactive film allows users to make fashion choices for the characters in the movie. The film will stream for free, on MX Player starting August 1.
Amazon presents Balcony Buddies, an MX Special Interactive Film is about an accidental friendship between two strangers in lockdown who have only one thing in common - a balcony facing each other and it celebrates their lockdown friendship like never before. Enabling viewers to decide on the course of the story, MX Player is the only homegrown OTT platform to introduce you to this new wave of storytelling. Sunanda (played by Aisha Ahmed) is bored out of her wits in lockdown and Yoga is her only savior until one day she notices a stranger across the balcony imitating her asanas. Just when she is about to get creeped out, the stranger asks her if she could teach him Yoga. Thus begins the tale of Sunanda and Prateek (essayed by Amol Parashar), aka the Balcony Buddies.
Speaking about the same, Aisha said, “I do resonate with Sunanda. I love making friends, so during the lockdown I would randomly wave at people from my building’s terrace just for some human interaction. Amol and I have known each other for a while now so it made filming this piece easy and fun. It’s a beautiful take on how you can find friends in the most surprising ways and I hope the audience sees it as a breath of fresh air. It celebrates Friendship Day in its truest sense and the interactivity element makes it all the more fun for the viewer.”
Amol Parashar said, “Usually people think making new friends in lockdown is rather difficult, which is partly true but I feel that if one just looks in the right place or just makes that extra effort to greet their neighbor, a lot can happen. This film is a lighthearted take along the same lines and I am very happy to be a part of it.”
