Their world expands when Bhola’s father brings home a black-and-white television. Watching religious epics like Ramayan and Mahabharat further blurs the line between myth and reality for the children.
The film is anchored by powerful performances, particularly from its young leads:
The boys grow up in a world where their understanding of the universe is strictly dictated by local elders and religious teachers like Pandit-ji , who explain everything through the lens of Hindu mythology.
As the country's socio-political climate shifts—specifically nearing the events of 1989-1990—their simple faith is challenged. The film serves as a poignant commentary on how religious ideologies can be manipulated by adults to indoctrinate children, leading to a tragic loss of childhood innocence. Cast and Creative Team
