The film stars veteran theatre artists, Ravindra Sahu, Raghubir Yadav, Lokesh Jain and K Gopalan and follows four main characters: a pickpocket, a vendor of sweet and savoury snacks, a labourer-activist, and a conductor of ‘Heritage Walks’. Patru, the pickpocket, decides to take people on alternative walks, showing them the underbelly of the city but this causes trouble with local merchants and the police. He decides to conduct one last ‘Dream Walk ‘When Lali, the labourer-activist, too joins the fray, giving a speech urging workers to unite, he lands them all in jail. The professional actors blend with 350 street people to create what seems like a surreal tale of truth.

With back-to-back packed houses throughout the week in Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, etc it reconfirms our belief that there is a space for all kinds of cinema, and if all the stakeholders in the value chain – creators, distributors, exhibitors come hand in hand and try to get the attention of the core audience/ niche the film is made for, it is possible to make even a small independent film also work.”
