The film Shikway (complaints) portrays how misunderstandings and lack of communication can lead to the end of a healthy relationship, resulting in a breakup or parting of ways.

"The misunderstandings in a relationship can always be resolved and the key to that is an open communication," says the filmmaker Sukhdeep Brar.

In an interview with SBS Punjabi, Mr Brar said, "the movie explores the issues that a relationship could face because of misunderstandings caused by the lack of communication."

"I've seen most of the times, the aftermath of these misunderstandings is an unhealthy relationship that often leads to a separation," he added.
All the five characters in the film are played by Melbourne-based actors including Manpreet Brar, Karan Batan, Naina Sharma, Prabhjot and Daman Sidhu.

Mahib Khanna another Melbourne-based filmmaker also assisted Mr Brar in the filmmaking process.
