Ghode Ko Jalebi Khilane Le Ja Riya Hoon

About the film

Fusing documentary-realism with magic-realism, and true and fictionalised stories with poetry and dreams, Ghode Ko Jalebi Khilane Le Ja Riya Hoon is a love letter to the syncretic culture of Old Delhi, to its history which is slowly losing itself amid concrete and smog. The film portrays the lives lived by the people of Old Delhi — a pickpocket, a snacks vendor, a labourer-activist, and a conductor of heritage walks. Patru, the pickpocket, takes people on a walk to show them the underbelly of the city only to end up in trouble with merchants and the police. He decides to conduct his last ‘Dream Walk’, where we discover the subterranean consciousness of the city’s migrant population.
