Kapil Mohan, the creator of Old Monk is not with us anymore, but what stays behind is the legendary rum he gave us, which was probably our first and the best companion when we entered adulthood.
Old Monk is not just a mere drink, it’s a religion and if there was ever a cult to be made for Old Monk, I will run as the President for that group. I am sure just like me, all those who swear by this drink will unanimously agree that for us Old Monk is the only rum in the world, theirs is no other brand and there never will be any.
Be it celebrating the good things that happened to us, the friends we made in college over a glass of rum, or dealing with our first heartbreak; Old Monk has all the rights to proudly take credit for all the major milestones in our lives.
Paying a tribute to one of the best things ever made in the world, here’s a short film that will take you to a walk down the memory lane to reminisce the good ol’ memories and times you all have shared with Old Monk.

Sanjay Mishra is one of the finest actors in Bollywood and when he takes up any movie, you know it’s going to be special and when you throw in a bottle of Old Monk into the same frame, you know that you are signing up for something incredible and emotional. And this short film titled ‘Monk’ does exactly that, it taps into all those memories and emotions you share with your friends and leaves you teary-eyed by the end of the film.
Produced by Switch Off Films, this short film also stars Jeetu Shastri as the friend who Mishra shares his drink with. As we enjoy the duo’s friendly banter and how they recollect all the crazy things they did in the past, by the end of it we realize that he was drinking all alone while remembering his close friend.
Honestly, there could not have been a better tribute to acknowledge the spirit of Old Monk and the long lasting friendships it has helped weave.
So go ahead and tag your friends to let them know how much you love them and how dearly you miss those Old Monk sessions you had with them.
