India, as we all know, upholds the phrase "Unity in Diversity". The diversity is not limited to the culture, but with the perception of people, who think only about India's rich geography, innovations and technology. The bigger picture may portray India as above-said, but the reality is far away from that. Casteism, Poverty, Hierarchy based on power, Money & Influence, all of which have more say than the constitution, are all some of the issues of Modern India. We can only hope, that one day India will rise from all these atrocities, or otherwise the next generation will learn what our older generation learnt ; that "India is a developing country."

Inside a small roadside salon, three men mock a newspaper photo of a fair-skinned groom who has married a dark-skinned bride. Their laughter is cruel, their views shallow. At that moment, a young man with dark skin walks in. Offended by their remarks, he challenges their narrow ideas and sparks a heated debate. What begins as casual gossip soon turns into a clash of perspectives on beauty, prejudice, and identity. The title “Pottakkinar”—literally “The Frog in the Well”—is borrowed from a Chinese idiom that describes a person too narrow-minded to see the vastness of the world. This intimate, single-location short film is a raw and unbiased reflection on racism and the everyday ignorance that feeds it.

The world is moving at a very fast pace. Everyone is running around, chasing something to achieve. But theatre artists are the ones who step away from all this rush and immerse themselves in their own small yet vast world. In each of their theatre journeys, leaving everything else behind, what do they truly gain? At every theatre festival, what mark do they carry back with them? What does the stage give them in return? *Ee Bhoominde Peru* (The Name of This Earth) is the story of a dream — the dream of a group of theatre artists who are often unseen and unnoticed by the mainstream world. This is not just the story of a single theatre troupe; it reflects the experiences of all theatre troupes across the world. It is about the little dreams and desires of theatre artists around us, which we often overlook. Vinesh Viswanath has captured these moments and shaped them into a documentary journey.
