- Audio Interview of the Director, Yasin Khan :
- Written and Directed By : Yasin Khan
- About Bhoomi : The Story runs on two different plots- one portrays the rural society, where people are contended in farming. They live happily aspiring small needs, sowing in their fields not only their crops but their dreams, wishes and unfulfilled desires. They celebrate each harvest, which seems to bring happiness worth million dollars.
- The other plot describes the urban life of a common man, plying with constant humiliations and torture under the dark shades of sky scrappers, concrete jungle. They poured into the city, deserting their friends and family, with a hope to earn survival. Their life is now scattered into pieces on footpath, under streetlamps, beside municipality garbage hips. This includes rickshaw puller Gopal, sex worker Kamli and Bijju, who runs a tea stall on the footpath. They struggle for their survival, crawling each our under hellish life. Misfortune plays another foul game as ceiling begins. All illegal construction are being ravished, the slum-dwellings are being uprooted. Every single hand is being deprived of job. That includes cart-drivers rickshaw-pullers tea-stall carriers etc. the justification being beautification of the city, which considers these creatures as a smug, a blot on the prestige of the urban life style. Gopal, kamini and Bijju gets badly affected. On the other side, the globalization and market expansion creeps into pious rural boundaries. Multinational Companies are busy acquiescing cultivable land. Farmers are being ousted, of their authority and thus they decamp towards the city. The story shoots up to the climax when groups decamping from the city and the village bump into each other on the border. They put forth a question to the audience-“Where should we go now”.
