Mahalaxmi to Goregaon from Mahesh Haridevan on Vimeo.

The plight of many settlers from Rajasthan who migrate to Mumbai for a daily bread. This kid (protagonist i) earns his coins by playing the Rawanhathha, a traditional musical instrument, entertaining tourists and locals at the Gateway of India.

It was past 1 in the morning and he was almost asleep, but he still played. He sits and tries to take rest when he dozes off onto the Gujarati man. The man asks the kid not to lean on him and to get off. Thats when a blind man (protagonist ii) comes across the compartment begging for money. And as he closes in the kid, my camera battery gets over.

Idea of a chance video and building a story around it. I would like to take this up as a project and come up with more videos. Please write to me about your queries, suggestions, ideas or if you are interested in funding or collaborating for the project. Thanks.
