Gutterful Life English 2023

Hindus and Muslims live in harmony across an open gutter (naala) at the edge of the city. Whether it’s the story of Somu and Aklaq – two innocent souls from different religions who stumble into each other on the naala and foster a friendship like no other; Billu and Arif – two budding businessmen trying to make a living – who are subjected to inter-community politics through the tryst of fate; or the community’s favourite Chai-Chachu – an old tea-seller with unknown origin but an important story to tell, A Gutterful Life brings forth a plethora of sentiments culminating in an emotional climax. Will Aklaq and Somu’s friendship survive the vagaries of communal division? Will Chai-Chachu be able to bridge the gap between Hindus and Muslims across the naala?
