Krishan Kumar

In the stillness of the night, the city transforms into a canvas of silence, its chaos replaced by tranquility. Krishan Kumar, a deeply personal documentary shot entirely on a mobile phone, explores the nocturnal world through the eyes of its eponymous subject—a night watchman who has spent over two decades safeguarding the quiet hours of the city.

Directed by a filmmaker from the same city, the film is an intimate dialogue between Krishan Kumar, the director, and the night itself. As Krishan roams the deserted streets, he reveals his love for the peacefulness of the night, his reflections on the bustling city that only rests after dark, and the connection he feels to a world devoid of horns, crowds, and clamor.

With every frame, the film captures the rhythms of solitude and the poetry of the unseen. Krishan Kumar is not just a portrait of a man but an ode to the quiet that shapes him and the city he calls home.
