Synopsis
In this campus satire set in 1970s Delhi, a ragtag group of architecture students express their restless idealism against a system that rewards conformity and punishes dissent.
In an architecture institute in Delhi, a ragtag group of students bungle their way as they submit their thesis before graduation. Among them is Anand ‘Annie’ Grover, who is repeating his fifth year for the fourth time and dreams of designing an architecture project that would bring about social change.
In her first screenplay credit, Booker Prize-winning novelist Arundhati Roy took inspiration from her time as an architecture student, depicting college life in the 1970s with sharp satirical wit. Pradip Krishen lovingly captures the countercultural atmosphere of the zeitgeist: the anarchic, restless energy of youthful idealism clashing with hegemonic systems that seek to protect the status quo—all while Beatles tunes play on.
This screening is part of the programme Landmark, part of the 2026 Singapore International Film Festival. For more screenings, please click here.
