Eleven minutes that'll wreck your faith in systems — and break your heart.
Danaji, a farmer from the state of Maharashtra in rural India, is accompanied by his eight-year old son Ganya to the city to sell his onions at the Mandi (market). While the child is enamoured by the sights and sounds of the place, the farmer has to fight a Kafkaesque battle to find the right price for his produce.
Acting
Waghmare's exhausted silence speaks louder than dialogue.

Mishra turns a market into a labyrinth of hopelessness.
Director
Yashowardhan Mishra
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Mandi system depicted still traps millions of Indian farmers in debt cycles and suicide epidemics.
