One Plate Maggi is a mixed media animated film in Bengali. An energetic and ever-hungry 12 year old must convince his unenthusiastic 10-year old sister to give him half her plate of Maggi before she finishes eating. The film takes place in 6 locations, and has been animated in 6 different mediums.
Our story starts with Maa, an omnipresent character throughout the film, putting down two plates of Maggi and our brother-sister duo arriving on the scene. Parth quickly finishes his plate of Maggi, while Khushi takes her own sweet time. Parth soon starts eyeing her plate and tries asking her for a little bit of Maggi. Of course, this is no simple task and Khushi needs convincing, but Parth is upto to the challenge. Both of them embark on a journey to prove to her that he is indeed the self-proclaimed "Best Big Brother", and is worthy of half her plate of Maggi.

The story of Dhun, as her anxious foot shaking turns into a musical adventure! Based on my own experiences with anxiety and fidgeting, my journey in making this film made me discover how focusing on my body’s rhythm helps me break out of an anxious spiral. Not only was this my first time working with 3D animation software like Blender, but was also the first time composing music! Learning FL Studio to compose and mix my own music and tunes was quite the experience.
