Synopsis

Our take

Building on his lifelong interest in obscure and failed films, freewheeling auteur Ashim Ahluwalia creates a fascinating account of Mumbai’s 1980s C-grade film industry. Selected at Cannes, this visually enthralling story lends a sympathetic gaze to Bollywood’s sleazy underbelly.
