3 Men and a Bulb (2005)

3 men and a Bulb is a story of 3 men who earn a livelihood from their gharat (watermill) in foothills of Himalayas (Uttaranchal), India. The life led by these 3 men is meagre, having access neither to electricity nor employment that brings regular income. Farming is very arduous, as supply of water is scarce. The gharat becomes a site, which each character wants to own and sometimes disown, in the quest for a better life. The story documents the 3 men’s personal hopes, anxieties and dreams set against the rustic life in the mountains.
