Detailed Description

Children on the street are not a very new sight to us. They have been a part of the city scenery since long ago. The film “Ek Rupaiyah” is a little incident that most people in Mumbai would have come across. A beggar girl coming and holding our hand is not new to us; the film tries to look at the whole act from the kid’s point of view. The small period of research that I was with the kids left a few imprints on me, and the movie is a result of this. Centred around the picture of the kid holding a girl’s hand, the film shows the difference in the meaning of this act to the kid and to the rest of the people. This report summarises the journey that we have been on for the last few months, what we also call our project two. It is divided into four major sections apart from the concluding notes and reference sections. The introduction speaks about why I chose this topic. The ‘Study’ section explains the research phase. The ideation and the various concepts thought of are in the ‘Concepts’ section. ‘Final film’ is where the execution is explained.
