Synopsis First time feature director Manjeet Singh has crafted a local response to Slumdog Millionaire’s view of the Mumbai slums with this lyrical coming of age tale. Told in a neorealist style, with great use of locations, natural light and mostly non-professional actors, the action focuses on mischievous young Rahul and his partner in crime, the balloon-seller Arbaaz. Together they plot their revenge against Rahul’s abusive father and find beauty amongst chaos as the colourful festival for Lord Ganesh rolls by.
