Kaccha Limbu 2017 [2021] (2025)

The film captures the essence of 1980s Bombay beautifully. Unlike the glossy, modern Mumbai seen in most films, Kaccha Limbu showcases the cramped chawls, the crowded local trains, and the gritty reality of the working class. The city acts as a silent antagonist, boxing the characters into their limited destinies.

The story follows Mohan and Shaila Katdare, a middle-class couple living in a Mumbai chawl, who have dedicated their lives to caring for their 15-year-old mentally challenged son, Bachhu. Their existence is a rigorous cycle of sacrifice; Shaila works a day shift while Mohan works nights and handles typing jobs during the day to ensure one parent is always home for Bachhu. kaccha limbu 2017
