- Summary:
- Ill-paid and always tired, Sathi, a young soda-seller, finds relief from the tedium of the everyday in marijuana and his friends--vulnerable, desperate young men who work around a movie theatre. This is life lived in the shadows of show business, sustained by a petty and tiring commerce in sex and money.
- Stylishly written in a manner that mimics the rapid cuts and forward movement of Indian cinema.
