Village Rockstars

Summary of the Film:

Ten-year-old Dhunu (Bhanita Das) lives in a remote village near Chaygaon, in Assam, with her widowed mother (Basanti Das) and elder brother Manabendra (Manabendra Das). While helping her mother sell snacks at a local event, she becomes mesmerized by a band that's performing there. The part that's so delightfully hokey: the boys belt out their hits with musical instruments made of styrofoam. She proceeds to copy them, carving a guitar of her own. Impressionable and tenacious at the same time, Dhunu reads a comic book and decides she wants to form a band playing real instruments. Rupee by rupee, she begins to save money for the guitar. She reads an article in a scrap newspaper and decides that positive thinking can make the the guitar materialize. But as floods destroy the family's crops, Dhunu must choose her priorities.
