- A testament of time written in Old Delhi, past and present plotted in its lanes. The narrative moves like a homeless migrant, changing space and structure with each unfolding event, living in the twilight between the real and the dream.
- Ghode Ko - follows four main characters: a pickpocket, a vendor of sweet and savoury snacks, a labourer-activist, and a conductor of 'Heritage Walks'. We see Old Delhi through their eyes - their lives, hopes, aspirations, dreams - and hear it through their various languages and dialects. Patru, the pickpocket, decides to take people on alternative walks, showing them the underbelly of the city they think they know, but this lands him in trouble with local merchants and the police. That's when he finally decides to conduct one last 'Dream Walk'. It is here that we enter the subterranean consciousness of the city's migrant population. Together, these walks create a visual and aural history of Old Delhi from different points of view. And when Lali, the labourer-activist, too joins the fray, giving a speech urging workers to unite, he lands them all in jail.—Ghode Ko FB
- The film is a result of seven years of documentation of the lives of the street people of old Delhi - beggars, pickpockets, loaders, small scale factory workers, street singers, street vendors etc. The film does not move in a linear fashion. It moves like homeless and migrant communities from minute to minute changing its space and structure with every on- going event. There is no one story but several stories. Dreams and stories mix together to form an exciting magical realism. We do not have the comfortable structure of saturated and complacent lives but have tried to tread with people who don't know what's happening next. The film uses both trained actors and real people. The Zen of small events is the source of celebration rather than big events. Since we have a very versatile team coming from different backgrounds: Theatre, Painting, Animation, Cinema and Special effects along with a very gifted cinematographer and audiographer, our film will move from real landscapes to photographs to theatrical moments to painted landscapes to absolute cinema, a journey exciting for all of us. Music composed by Tyrax Ventura, a young rock musician, will have 'Industrial sounds'. The music of the film will also move from contemporary Indian music to traditional Indian music. In the film we will move from neo realism to Indian folk and even to expressionism when it comes to the dreams. The actors of our team are steeped in deep understanding of theatrical traditions both folk and contemporary. In terms of genre the film moves light irony to black humour.
