8 GHANTE, Life condensed into 8 hours

Two typists in Connaught Place, Delhi, grow old together while typing addresses on postcards. Faced with the most mundane and meaningless job in the world, they type away with gusto for thirty years, along the way trying their hand at poetry, re-enacting the Mahabharat, staging a play of their own and pontificating on political matters. The play describes an eight-hour working day in their lives which magically coincides with the passage of thirty years.

An innovative satire in Hindi with English supertitles
