A film about the living conditions of slum dwellers in the city of Bombay. The candid interviews of slum dwellers reveal their scathing reactions to the slogan of Garibi Hatao, and the pretentions of politicians. The film pits the top-down approach of state housing and sanitation programmes in the city against the voice of the angry resident. The inter-cut interview with Mr. Kasbekar, Administrator, Housing Board, presents the official side of the problem.
