Amdavad Ma Famous (2015)

‘Amdavad Ma Famous’ is a story set against the kaleidoscopic backdrop of India’s largest kite-flying festival in Ahmedabad. Zaid undergoes a transformation – from a boy-next-door to an aggressive and a passionate kite-runner – when he comes across his nemesis Mushtaq, an old security guard of the building where Zaid and his friend fly their kites. The whimsical nature of the kite flying festival, the kind of madness that grips the whole of Ahmedabad city and Zaid’s craze for kites brings together a colourful glimpse of a very unique India.
