"The film’s realism speaks of a growing concern about the quality of life of the vast majority of poor, powerless people in the world who are at the receiving end of a cynical process of globalisation, indifferent to their existence as anything other than consumers of it’s commodities." - Reel Times

At the height of nuclear tensions between India and Pakistan, Arjun and his best friend, Chabia, weigh their options for the future against the reality of life on the streets of Mumbai. Enticed by the promise of wealth and opportunity in the Persian Gulf, Chabia is eager to leave his job as a mechanic. But for Arjun, who must finish college and care for his mother, the decision is not so easy in director Partho Sen-Gupta's gritty, apocalyptic interpretation of Krishna's counsel to Arjuna, from the Bhagavad Gita.

“But with globalization, the opening of the markets and of media, the people of India have been suddenly discovered the joys of consumerism. Cities are covered with advertisements for unimaginable luxuries. The main targets of this free economy are the youth of India. The upper classes have managed to align themselves to the global village, in tune with images of the ‘western youth’ glorified by the media. But the youth of India’s large working, lower and middle income classes are discovering that they do not have the financial capabilities to align themselves. But the desire created, too strong to control are leading them towards disillusionment and frustration.” – Partho Sen-Gupta
