Director Statement

In Mumbai, the city of dreams, one thing that remains constant is change. Change towards better infrastructure, improved transportation, enhanced living conditions all in the pursuit of a brighter future, maybe?
But have we stopped to consider what we might be losing in the process? Or the pain experienced by those who have to uproot their lives for this supposed progress?
Over the past few years, I have closely witnessed and experienced the plight of one such community: a small boxing club in the heart of Mumbai.
Inspired by these events, the story of BMCLD came to life.
