Episode 2
Nasreen from Kashmiri Gate tells us how rooftops play a double-edged role in a young girl’s life. As she takes us through the city as she has lived and experienced it, we jump across states, only to find her running and gasping for breath.
Episode 1
What does it mean to look at your city through your experience? In the first part of her narrative, Nasreen looks at the metropolis of Delhi from the terrace of her house in Kashmiri Gate, the only space where she can move freely.
Episode 2
What does it mean to be a single woman, when it’s not in a metropolis? What are the experiences of being single, without the romanticisation of the urban? What is the nature of singlehood that may not yet be defined, but may be as rich as life itself?
Episode 3
This episode is a sensory treat as we enter the market of Patna with Swati urf Patnawali. From market to home, this is the story of each household where some things are looked down upon and others put on a pedestal. As Patnawali asks with tongue in cheek, “What about things one gets from the market? Do you know who made what?”

Episode 1
Phulo Chachi is like every other nosy aunt who finds a help like Rinki who can show her the mirror. It is the mirror not only to her own world but many other worlds where Rinki co-exists as she criss-crosses the lanes of Patna, cleaning one room to the other.
Episode 3
In the third episode of the series Bolti Kahaniyan, we bring to you the story—Aate Sane Haath. Everyone has the Right to Education, but what difficulties does a girl face in order to complete her education?
When going into the cinema turned into clicking through OTT platforms during the pandemic, we adapted to the 1920 x 1080 screen size and relegated the good ol' Talkies to nostalgia. But cinema is not only a medium for story-telling, is it? It also stands as a character, bearing witness to a changing city—who enters, who leaves mid-way, and who stays.
