PSBT
The film offers glimpses into the lives of assistant directors in an attempt to understand their role in the film making process. How some have realised their dreams whereas most are driven to the point of despair.

PSBT
The film looks at the brass band, an integral part of ritualised urban Indian life performing on numerous occasions like births, marriages, retirement and even at funerals.

PSBT
The Film tells the story of urbanisation in Indian cities, epitomised by three very diverse residents of the ‘unauthorised’ village of Aya Nagar, situated on the margins of the Indian capital, New Delhi. A bustling settlement of over one lakh people from all parts of the country and all walks of life, it represents the exponential urbanisation and unplanned development in the country today. As India urbanises, most of its towns and cities grow to accommodate the new migrants in similar spontaneous settlements and their needs, desires and aspirations can become the creative energy required to establish a more socially just and environmentally sustainable urban pattern. The film seeks to explore this alternative vision for urban development, a vision where stakeholders can be partners in growth, rather than feel by-passed by it.

PSBT
The Film explores the tenacity of the human spirit, journing with Anwar - a migrant in Delhi to fulfill his dream of building a theatre in his village.
