MUMBAI: DQ Entertainment has produced a live action short film, Dark Days, based on a story that won the CIAK Junior contest.

 

Dark Days explores the effect of terrorism on innocent young lives. The protagonist is orphaned by a terrorist attack, but with the help of friends, learns to look positively at life. She understands she needs to hate terrorism, not the terrorists.
