Hari is a bright, curious eleven-year-old whose father is a Muslim and whose mother is a Hindu. His idealistic parents dream of making films, but money troubles, a new home and the suspicion of neighbours and landlords slowly test their hopes, and Hari begins to see how religion and class divide the country he has been taught to love. Told from the child's point of view, A Billion Colour Story is an independent Hindi film directed by N. Padmakumar, with his son Dhruva Padmakumar in the lead and Satish Kaushik in a supporting role. It travelled to several international film festivals and won praise for its gentle, honest look at secularism, identity and family.
