Tubelight

This is the story of a homeless orphan boy who wants to go to school and learn like every child should. He doesn't have the means but manages to soak in as much by sitting outside the window of a classroom and does his homework and study under a street light. But his only dream is to be able to sit inside the classroom and be a regular school kid. That dream does see the light of the day. How? When so many people from all walks of life, get to read his story and feel his spirit and zeal and it all starts with those who decide to tell his story and in doing so tell us the story of so many like him and bring hopes to so many like him.

Directed by Vinamra Pancharia, Tubelight leans on a strong ensemble — Mayan Periwal, Manta Ma'am, Vajra Pancharia — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2018.
