| Description |
Our Guru is a poor tea-seller, a chaiwallah whose life is changed forever when a young girl is abandoned at a busy railway stationed brings the place to a standstill with the beauty of her singing. An honest young policeman falls hopelessly in love but is rejected in favour of a disreputable poet. The contradictions of life in modern India with its iPhones and its ancient gods, form the backdrop to this story about the dangers of keeping your soul locked in a cage. |
