Kya Hua Is Shehar ko? - 40 years on!

Kya hua is shehar ko is a 95 minute long documentary film which centres around religious processions in Hyderabad city as the locus of a new political sensibility that was being engineered in Hyderabad during the 80s. The film maker Deepa Dhanraj follows the procession and its aftermatth of violence and speaks with victims and eye-witnesses. 40 years on - some of the sensibilities that were marginal to mainstream life have now become the mainstream. In this screening, we hope younger citizens of Hyderabad who are grappling with their own concerns about how the city around them is changing will get an opportunity to watch a poignant documentary film and hear the maker of the film to understand how her own concerns have remained the same and also changed.
