A Multilayer cinema where the events develop against the backdrop of dreams, reality, with elements of phantasmagoria intertwined. In fact, we have before us so many dream parables that turned out to be very deep and highly moral and makes you think about problems of human perception. Amidst all the misery in Delhi's Shahjahanabad, one of the conditions to "survive, exist is with the help of dreaming, a friend is thus helping.
Having made an attempt to plunge into the culture of Shahjahanand, director Anamika Haksar begins the movie with a note, as the film launches a whole series of lost character mixing reality and dreams with emphasize on expressiveness and especially brilliant animations. It begins with lot of cuss words thrown in and then the story unfolds before us to a introduce the vicinity filled with sewage water, people sleeping on carts, then we see a man dreaming as he is showered with flowers by Goddess Lakhsmi followed by a surreal scene. The action begins mostly open streets and is gradually transferred to the dream sequences - to the supposed real world of the characters. By the way, I really liked the pickpocket scene with changing hands and it is of these moments that stands out for its staging. Another funny scene is when the thief takes the role of the tour guide for a quick buck and takes help of his imagination and sums the whole theme of the film while taking stroll around the streets. He shows the tourist a shop covered in sheets and sleeping mat. He goes on to open the mat in front of them as we see we little kids lying down as he summarizes that this is the place "where the king and queen and prince all live". I was mostly attracted to the animations that merges in the outlines of the environment, one of the best is in the last 20 minutes of the film as we see women sharing their dreams and innermost secrets and thanks to the animation, the visual combination of editing and camerawork, it is another highlight.
The cast, with the possible exception of Raghubir Yadav, the rest are unknown and this is one of the reasons why the film turned out to be so alive and real as the characters just live. For the very appropriate, close to life casting , the film is supported with humour as it evokes a kind and sincere smile. I would like to highlight the background music which also adds magic in contrasting the monotonous existence, usual way of things as the dreams take charge.
Anamika Haksar gives these lost characters at first glance, a "phantasmagorical" feel with drama, social commentary (mini-Pakistan scene) and philosophy. "Ghode Ko Jalebi Khilane Le Ja Riya Hoon" most of all resembles a kind of surreal experimental documentary which is woven into the story to help the viewer to look at the film from a different angle and your perception will no longer be the same.
