Mumbai is a city of contrasts, housing both soulless high-rise buildings and shady, serene woods. But a less visible line also divides it, separating the haves from the have-nots. In this short film, writer/director Nikita Hattangady focuses on Jai (Swapnil Kanase), a starving artist rooted in the latter category. Though unhoused, he works hard. Early in the movie, Jai sketches cartoon portraits of people for money, but is driven away by a corrupt police officer who confiscates Jai’s earnings. Later, some thugs mug Jai, robbing him of the month’s salary he received as a tea boy. With the “lawful” and the lawless equally against him, Jai believes that people like him are destined to stay poor.
