હું હુંશી હુંશીલાલ
Having moved to the city of Khojpuri to pursue his scientific investigations into the uses of onions, Hunsilal soon discovers a novel way to tackle mosquitoes, and is celebrated by Raja Bhadrabhoop. However, he soon learns that things may not be as they seem, that the mosquitoes may not be the pests (or even the insects) he once assumed them to be, as he gets drawn into an undercurrent of revolution and discovery, precipitated by his burgeoning love for his colleague Parveen. Inspired by the traditional Gujarati Bhavai, 'Hun Hunsi Hunsilal' is interwoven with an absurdist, innovative soundtrack and presents a satirical, modern day tragic fable about fascism, revolution and the power of stories, all shot beautifully, in what is one of India's most powerful and relevant films to date.
