Disha

Disha tells a never-ending story - a story of rural exodus and the mirage of the big city, of hopes and disillusionments, through the destinies of migrant farm workers searching for a better life in Mumbai. The film lends a palpable dimension to the harsh materiality facing those aspiring to happiness: the dry land, the deafening textile mills, the overcrowded sleeping quarters, a well obstinately dug in the hope of perhaps seeing a little water gush forth.
