Director Statement

"Beyond the Walls" is a visual journey into the vibrant yet unnoticed world of street art in Mumbai. It is a documentary film about how artists find a canvas on the walls of the city.

The street art is not just about painting the walls but giving a voice to the people. Through this film, we weave a narrative with the stories of the artists behind the art beautifying the city. "Beyond the Walls" takes us into the complex lives of the street artist.

As the director, I hope to inspire people to look closer around them, appreciate the art and the stories hidden within the walls. It gives a way to see Mumbai not only as a metropolis but as a living canvas where creativity exists on every wall and tells the stories beyond these walls.
