King of India
Lose yourself on the streets of Kolkata.
Raja Hindustani is a young street performer born into a family of Nats, an ancient Indian community of street and carnival entertainers. Once held in high esteem, members of this remarkable culture are now forced to live on the fringes of Indian society. Over six years of filming, Arvind Sinha has composed a mesmerising and lyrical portrait of Raja Hindustani and his family as they dance, entertain, survive and grow up on the streets of modern day Kolkata.
