The film opens on a child dressed in his school clothes returning from
buying kharra. He slowly looks around, opens the kharra pudi and slips
some in his mouth…this whole moment crumples like a kharra wrapper and
opens to another moment where the boy is now holding his head unable to
concentrate in school. We crumple this moment to reveal another one
where the boy is fighting with other boys on the street as the onlookers
watch, appalled. The moment crumples again and this time we reveal he’s
slowly slipping his hand into someone’s shirt at home to steal money.
We crumple this moment to reveal another one where he has bought kharra
for himself and his friends… The moment crumples again …We see him
running in school competition. Clearly, he is falling behind…This moment
crumples back to the his house where he is lost and sad. An adult hand
comes ahead and gives him Rs.10 to buy kharra. This whole moment
crumples into a kharra wrapper that rolls off and falls to the ground.
