Mahalaxmi to Goregaon

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 kept playing. On one instance he sits and tries to take a rest when he dozes off onto the Gujarati man. The man asks the kid not to lean on him and 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.

My idea of a chance video and building a story around it.
