Heartbreaking WhatsApp chat between mom and son

A 90-second mobile screen-recorded short film 'WhatsUpMom', videographed by Mathukutty Xavier to break away from the monotony of doing a script of debut film, has gone viral and crossed six lakh views and 7,000 shares in 50 hours.

Twenty-three-year-old Xavier, who finished his graduation in Animation and Graphic display, told that the film was nothing but a brief conversation between a mother, who is a beginner, and her son, an expert, on WhatsApp.

"In the video, the son asks the mother to be quick in her replies," Xavier said. According to Xavier, the master-stroke in the video is when the son said: "We patiently waited almost a year to hear you speak a word."

"To keep it completely in the boundaries of a phone, the title and the credits were added as a wallpaper in the recording phone. But now we are amazed by the response and this is a great impetus to our scripting work," added Xavier.
