Raja Hindustani

Entry 29

Synopsis: For several months each year, hundreds of wayside performers called “NATS” make the chaotic and colourful metropolis of Calcutta their temporary home. Living amidst pigs, dogs, rodents by rail tracks- all coexist in a blissful harmony. The film takes both a macro as well as micro view of the “NAT” community of performers in the backdrop of a totally insensitive “mainstream” India which seems unwilling to provide any physical space to marginals such as these.
