The project brief called for a 3-minute video showcasing the lives of Mumbai residents, aiming to highlight their dreams and aspirations in the bustling city. To fulfill this, we chose to interview street artist Mr. Prasad Bhandar, stationed outside Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalay in Mumbai's Kala Ghoda area, where he practices and sells his paintings. Our team's approach was to let the artist narrate his story without additional narration, giving him complete control over the limited time available.

The project brief initially called for a video showcasing Mumbai, and while brainstorming ideas, the team considered the typical themes of Mumbai being the city of dreams or the city that never sleeps. However, we aimed to offer a fresh perspective. Thus, we proposed highlighting the local train system, an integral part of Mumbai's daily life that residents cannot function without. Our idea was to depict the local trains as symbolic of Mumbai's inclusive nature, mirroring how the city welcomes people of all cultures. Regardless of one's economic background, culture, class, or race, the Mumbai local embraces everyone with open arms as they travel from one station to another.
