Plot
Entering an apartment block in search of a drink of water, a naive peasant finds himself mistaken for a thief and is chased by the residents. Whilst evading capture, he inadvertently exposes the venality and dishonesty of the building's middle class occupants.
Sinekatalog’s take
A satirical night-time chase in which a thirsty rural man exposes the hypocrisy of an apartment block. Witty, social-minded and quietly poetic. A must for fans of classic Hindi-language social comedy.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
