Bombay Fight Night (Trailer)

Synopsis

2013 28 mins Colour Dolby Digital Hindi, Marathi, English with English Subtitles

India is a place in the process of rapid change, with some young people wealthier than their parents could ever dream of being, and others desperate for a share. Inside a Bollywood movie studio, two men are preparing to fight in front of a crowd of heated fans. This isn't a scene from a Bollywood film, this is the start of a MMA fighting event held at ngiht after the days filming is over. Mumbai's fashionable middle class have finished work and are hungry for entertainment.

The two fighters - both from rural villages outside of the city know they can make more in the ring in one night than the average Indian makes in a month. My documentary will explore the lives of fighters trying to make it in this new sport.
