Kathak is a classical dance from Northern India. Both Hindu and Muslim rulers patronized this dance form giving it the status of a court entertainment. Hence this classical dance carries the quaint charm of folk arts and a happy synthesis of Indian and Mughal traditions. Kathak is a combination of Nritta and Nritya.

Traveling the length and breadth of the country, S. Sukhdev constructs, a panoramic, non-narrated study of Indian life in the late 1960s. Shot across villages, deserts, countryside, and cities, the film observes daily labor, leisure, and movement without commentary, allowing humor, contradiction, and social texture to emerge organically. The result is a sensory encounter with India poised between inherited tradition and accelerating modernity.
