About the Film: A poignant film set in the 1970s, in the heart of old Lucknow. Centered around a middle-class family and their dreams of a better future, this evocative narrative uses confined spaces and deeply relatable characters to evoke a sense of nostalgia, making it a timeless piece of cinematic storytelling. At the heart of the film is an elderly domestic help, who grinds dal (pulses) for various households in the neighborhood, and her character embodies the struggles and quiet dignity of those who labour in the shadows. A story that attempts to stir the conscience of its audience, reminding them of the fragile essence of life. Watch Trailer

About the Kriti Film Club: This is an educational initiative of a not-for-profit organisation 'Kriti development praxis and communication team'. For 25+ years, we have been screening and discussing documentary films on development, environment, and socially relevant issues, in an effort to positively influence mindsets and behaviour towards creating an equitous, just, and peaceful world. We also curate issue-based film festivals and organise documentary film shows in neighbourhoods, communities, schools, colleges, or institutions on request and otherwise. The Kriti Film Club has been screening independent cinema (non-fiction and fiction) regularly and independently (without any funding) in Delhi, Mumbai and other parts of India and online (Doculive.blogspot.com), to promote 'thought-provoking cinema' #impactcinema
