The deadly attack of Swine flu has already taken the toll of more than hundred people in India beginning from Pune. No one had expected the severity of this type of fever in India. The health ministry did try to spread awareness about the deadly fever, but that wasn’t enough. For almost a month it created panic at various places in Maharashtra. Now, when you hear about someone making a film on this topic; obviously, eyebrows are raised.

Director Subhash Kale, who made films like ‘Benere Bhaya’, ‘Mumbai che Shahane’, and ‘Mohan Aute’; has made this short film titled Balance 2 Hours’ on the topic of Swine flu. The film is based on the concept of Shailesh Gaikwad, a collegian from Bhiwandi, who has been running an NGO to create health awareness in this populated township. Watching the hard work put in by the youngster, Subhash Kale with the help of his NRI friend Prakash Kamal, worked seriously on this subject and made this short film almost with international quality, so that he could present the same at various film festivals across the Globe. The director received excellent co-operation from some Bhivandi residents, during the making of this film.
