Bhimsain’s award-winning short films were regularly broadcast on Doordarshan in the 1970s and ’80s. One of the most enduring movies about the link between house buying and soul selling is the four-decade-old Gharonda, directed by the acclaimed animator Bhimsain, written by Gulzar and based on a story by Hindi writer Shesh Kumar. Over the years, a great many films have examined the crisis faced by nearly every Mumbai resident – how is a home to be obtained without selling body and soul? Extortionate rents, unaffordable homes, nosy landlords, shifty brokers, crooked builders, unfair housing policies, the proliferation of slums, dilapidated apartments on the verge of collapse, poky residences that do not afford any privacy – Mumbai filmmakers have examined these realities with varying degrees of insight. The housing problem drama is a well-established sub-category of Hindi films set in Mumbai. Is it worth faking a relationship just to be able to buy an apartment, as the characters in Love Per Square Foot do? In Mumbai, the city of apartments that are only slightly larger than packing cartons and yet cost as much as mansions elsewhere, of course it is. The movie’s title gives away its theme – the aggravating world of Mumbai housing.
