Sinopse
A few very specific turns in Girgaon, the old heart of Mumbai elicit a gasp from the toughest critics of the city. For, just beyond these turns lies Khotachiwadi; an urban village. A cacophony of curving lanes, Burma-teak houses, chawls and Art-deco buildings inhabited by generation upon generation of the same family. This Mumbai-unique village is one of many. They are a testimony to the layers of history that this city is steeped in. Each of its unique features a remnant from every era lived through. If only these spaces could speak. Konachi wadi? is a film that tries to give a voice to Khotachiwadi. It explores the definitions of what can be defined as a wadi. Is a wadi just a tumble of gallies and buildings or does it have something more to it? The call of a fisherwoman, the couple that fell in love across balconies, the chapel with its neon cross and the house next to it where someone strums a guitar while the beer warms with droplets of condensation and dusk becomes night.
