About the Film:
Ghode Ko Jalebi Khilane Le Ja Riya Hoon or Taking the Horse to Eat Jalebis (2018) is a film directed by Anamika Haksar.
Acclaimed theater director and playwright Anamika Haksar spent years conversing with the residents of Old Delhi about their lives and aspirations in preparing for this film debut. The result is a powerful cinematic vision of the ancient city as told through the eyes of the working classes—and through a blend of documentary and animated magical realism.
