SRHREE DEVI PHATAKA
Ek bhari item.

Shree Devi Phataka is a story of 5 simple charactors, MOHAN, BHATKAR KAKA, AAJI, RAMESH and ARUN, from a chawl in Mumbai; set on the last day of Diwali in 1984.

It all starts with Arun; an 8-year-old kid obsessed with “Shree Devi Phataka” and the lengths he would go to buy this firecracker. This starts a chain of events that changes lives of those connected to it.

Will the simple dreams of these 5 individuals be fulfilled? Can Bhatkar kaka set up his business? Will Ramesh woo Bhatkar kaka to give his daughters hand in marriage? Will Aaji seek what she is looking for? Will Mohan be able to go to his yearly school picnic? And finally will Arun become a hero of the chawl?


This story told from 5 different perspectives, portrays problems of a simple lower middle class Mumbaikar, his everyday life, his dreams, daily struggles but most importantly the simple, innocent pleasures that make him happy.
