It was one after noon in a slum called ‘Junta Colony’ on Chandigarh’s border, when i was shooting for a Fundraising Video film for a Local NGO that works for health promotion , that i overheard a 'Happy birthday Jingle ' from one house.I peeped over the boundary wall and saw a group of three kids playing with some thing and singing the song. I called one of them..other followed him..and i asked them ..what they were playing...! And i switched on my camera , and what followed is the film - 'The Mudcake'. Its a two minute film in Hindi with English subtitles . The film has no Technical strengths to boast of or special effects or animation or star cast, but it has a Content that no live heart on this earth can ignore..its about dreams..its about happiness ..its about Hunger ..its about ignorance its about negligence..and a lot more.
The film has won many national and international awards including W.H.O. Photo video contest -07.
