The main objective of my documentary is to visually represent and capture Hyderabad's cultural diversity. The documentary weaves a story that conveys the city's dynamic past along with its present, by covering various famous traditions and landmarks. It covers significant aspects, from historical monuments to modern technology hubs, with the goal of capturing the fusion of modernity with tradition in Hyderabad. Producing the documentary is complex, filled with both triumphs and setbacks, leading to creating a visual narrative that perfectly captures the city's essence.

Ditya Vakati
I, Ditya Vakati, am a fifteen year old highschool student studying in Oakridge International School. believe videography to be expressive in terms of visualising any circumstance. It’s a group of pixels that enhances feelings and emotion for the viewer and creator. That’s why, I felt it was beneficial for me to take this up as my personal project, as it truly felt personal to me. But what was going to be the theme of it? What was I going to photograph and record? And then it hit me– something else our generation can relate to. Our generation experiences a cultural disconnect that leads to a diminished awareness and connection with our heritage, and I immediately knew what I wanted to do– I wanted to create a documentary that delves into the heartbeat of Hyderabad. I wanted to create a cultural bridge, developing understanding and appreciation for Hyderabad.I explored this documentary in the form of a visual narrative, capturing the essence of this city, connected with its historical and cultural roots, and it’s modern living.
