A strange couple travel a distance of 1500 kilometers over 7 days – an
unprecedented ride that takes them through plains, hills and into
mountains; marked by narrow escapes and introspective conversations;
breathtaking sights and an uncanny contrast of people.
Travellers-turned-cameramen, they shoot the ride on the go, enthusing
the film with their refreshingly ingenuous approach to capturing the
ride on video. Funny thing is that this strange expedition was never
intended to be a film…



Bullets and Butterflies traces the journey of a handicapped street
child and a biking enthusiast on a motorcycle - popularly known as a
Bullet - as they travel from the bustling cityscape of Delhi to the
serene hills of Himachal Pradesh. It is the journey from a promise
made during a fleeting conversation to its fulfillment in an
unforeseen, bizarrely deep understanding between the odd pair;
inadvertently providing an insight on differently-abled people and the
hardships of a life lived on the streets.




Hi,

Thought it'd make sense to start off with the synopsis of Bullets and
Butterflies, a film I somehow managed to scrape together last year.
Some of you might have seen it...a few have been an intrinsic part of
the process...while most of you have either not seen it or heard about
it.

This is to inform you that the film will be screened on NDTV 24/7.
Details as follows:

November 12 & 13 - 9:30 pm - 10 pm
November 16 - 1 to 2 pm (Repeat)

This film was edited with little idea of how to go about with the
final result. Although inadvertent in its intent as a documentary, it
has travelled and been well received by audiences across various film
festivals in Canada, Italy, Qatar, Bangladesh, Turkey and India. It is
also being used as an educational as well as resource mobilization
tool by various non-governmental organizations across India. However,
anything more said about it would probably dilute from the pleasure of
the watch!

I'm hoping that you'll be able to catch the screening on NDTV next week.
Do revert to me in case of any queries and please forward this mail to
family and friends.

Warmly,
Sushmit
