Taking the Horse to Eat Jalebis
Hindi with English subtitles | Colour with Sound | 122 min

The cinematic debut of theatre director and playwright Anamika Haksar, Ghode Ko Jalebi Khilane Le Ja Riya Hoon is a testament to Old Delhi, told through the eyes of migrant working classes with a virtuoso blend of magical realism and patient documentary filmmaking. Past and present together populate the city’s winding lanes, as a tale is unfurled by Patru, part-time narrator, protagonist, pickpocket and alternative tour guide.
