DIRECTORS’ STATEMENT
“Having lived in Gurgaon for over a decade, we’ve witnessed this city transform into a bustling MNC hub, a melting pot for people from all over the country. But when the protests against Namaz began to escalate in our neighbourhood, it served as a rude awakening to the harsh reality of a new India—one that felt increasingly divided, hostile, and intolerant. We chose a “fly on the wall” style for this film because we wanted to capture the raw, unfiltered reality of what we were witnessing.”
