- Two separate journeys get tied together when a man and a woman are attracted to a stranger. Kabir is a small time stage show actor who earns his livelihood as a part time car thief. Even while he has been trying his hand at various auditions, one day Kabir's luck seems to change when Saima spots him and gives him a role. Except Kabir must finish a story he has started, his last steal before he disappears into his new life. Niloy is new to the city. A lonely and friendless Niloy is looking for something that marriage and family could not fulfill. One day he meets Kabir on the streets of Delhi. Is it a coincidence? Or is there is a plan? City of Dark is about meetings, attractions, deception, loss and a trip across town. A journey where men meet with their secret desires and part with longing. Where days have love and intimacy for the two men but the night threatens a different ending for women who wander in the city. Set over two car journeys in a void, the story unfolds in a city hopeful in the day and unkind after dark.
- The Documentary Beware Dogs captures two days in the life of four eclectic musicians and their struggle to create music. Across the city, in a house dating back to a Delhi long forgotten, four musicians have a song to weave. Indian Ocean, as the band is called, is a bit of the modern city in itself. They draw myriad folk and local traditions fusing them with the sound of the contemporary, creating music, which is diasporic.
- An elusive actor is a rarity. Talking Head is about the actor Dhritiman Chaterji. In October 1970, Pratidwandi (The Adversary) one of Satyajit Ray's most political films was released. It was a film about the time; the moment of anger, disenchantment, strikes, injustice and unemployment among the young. It was a film about angry youth and it introduced Dhritiman Chaterji, into film acting. A new actor in Bengali cinema, Dhritiman Chaterji acted in few of the most prominent films of the decade. But he never quite plunged into mainstream commercial cinema always remaining a poster boy of Bengali parallel cinema. He acted in some of the most hard-hitting movies of its time. Ray's Pratidwandi (1970) and Mrinal Sen's Padatik (1973) being two of the most important ones.*
