Delhi OMG!

Dinesh is a middle-class man trying to get by in Delhi, a city that can be vibrant and brutal in the same breath. When Dinesh moves from modest government flats to a luxurious residence in a wealthy district, his circle changes along with his address. Along the way he meets people from every walk of life and is pulled into several of the city's notorious corners, where the glittering surface gives way to a harsher reality. Told with sharp humour and a hard edge, the story looks at the city's corruption, its obsession with appearances, and the darker trades hidden beneath everyday life.
