“Film has the power to elicit authentic emotions. This is something that is accessed through a strong story. I feel that we are surrounded by amazing tales and not enough of them make it to the screen. Filmmaking is a challenging process. However, I hope to bring those stories that are worth telling to a platform that makes sense for the story. “

Set in the bustling streets of New Delhi, "Amal" is a story about dreams being lived by the unlikeliest of people.
