There are good reasons why Indian fans have always favoured sports dramas. They provide motivation and are fun to watch and some of the films that have made a lasting impact in our minds are Chak De India, 83, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Gold, Dangal among others. 

Dhavak, the first sports drama to air on the streaming Amazon Mini TV, has captivated audiences worldwide. Dhavak, starring Srishti Shrivastava and Vaibhav Talwar, follows the remarkable journey of sprinter Sudha Singh as she overcomes numerous challenges to realise her aspirations. Here are four reasons you must watch this short film:

Dhavak chronicles the lives of Sudha Singh, a gifted young sprinter had aspirations to win a gold medal at the National Championships. Although cultural restrictions make her life difficult, she works hard to go where she wants to go. When Sudha's fate is decided by a "Race Swayamvar," the plot takes an intriguing turn. Sudha's quest is an attempt to motivate and inspire people, particularly women, to pursue their dreams and not give up. Dhavak is a thought-provoking movie that seeks to affect societal change. It has a strong screenplay and excellent editing.

Sports dramas abound in the entertainment industry, but Dhavak stands out for its compelling plot and authentic settings. The short film's beauty is enhanced by the raw, genuine village atmosphere of Ishapur, in the state of Uttar Pradesh. It is more relatable and plausible because of the situations from real life. It connects viewers emotionally to the area being portrayed, giving them a strong sense of connection to Sudha's life and journey.

Srishti Shrivastava and Vaibhav Talwar play the key characters in Dhavak. While Srishti's performance is admirable, Vaibhav excels as an IPS officer. Along with the outstanding ensemble, the creators of this short film have worked hard to make it enjoyable to watch. Dhavak comes to life thanks in part to debutant director-producer Abhishek Sharma, dialogue writer Pururava Rao, editors Akshara Prabhakar and Harshit Mahant, among others.

It provides the best entertainment for only 42 minutes of running time. This expertly made short film is highly enjoyable. Saying that "Dhavak is no less than a commercial entertainer with an inspirational plot" is accurate. One wouldn't mind a longer run time to go more into Sudha's journey because it is handled so flawlessly.
