Multiculturalism is the essence of a city. Mumbai, the melting pot of India's varied cultures has attracted people from all parts of India. The desire to achieve something in life and the desire to succeed brings people to this city. Feuds instigated by certain factions banking on narrow regionalism and people's sentiments have led to conflicts between the local Maharashtrians and the 'outsiders'.
This film is an attempt to understand the dreams and aspirations of people who had come from different parts of India to make Mumbai their home and how they deal with the recent regional politics of hate and enmity towards the so called outsiders.

Crying Shame
The 21st April, 2010 Mirchpur burnings of Dalit houses and the setting ablaze of a father and his physically challenged daughter over a drunken brawl shows the Jat communitys' intensely rooted contempt for the lower castes which has led to the deepening of caste divisions in Haryana society. What we have to think is that whether this was a village brawl gone too far or a brazen display of power by the upper castes to intimidate the lower castes?
Based on the testimonies of the victims, the film proposes to show the destruction caused by the Jat violence both in terms of material and human life. The film brings to its audience an authentic account of the Mirchpur incident and its aftermath.
