Juice is about gender and family dynamics, and it portrays patriarchy and misogyny. The 14-minute film also stars Manish Choudhary.
This is not the first time Ghaywan has won an award for a film. Earlier, the director received the Indira Gandhi Award for the Best Debut Film of a director for Masaan at the 63rd Indian National Film Awards.
