This film reflects human insensibility, false ideals and hypocrisy. The character of the story of this film is a hunger person,who has to undergo many struggles and pains to get his food. Choosing the money being thrown by the people involved in the funeral of the old man going to cremation, he reaches the crematorium and he gets engaged in search of his food. After cremation the useless things which throw in the river Ganga are not even given to him . And he is driven away from there. He gets food after a lot of struggles but perhaps that food is not considered suitable for human consumption.
In the process of eradicating his thirst with cow’s urine and hunger with the straw of the cow,people understand him as a great saint,mahatma or divine man and start worshiping him like god.But the hungry person unware of all these things, still considers himself helpless and lonely.But in reality it has been REBIRTH.

Two billionaires are each building their new home. And it will be up to them, who will build the tallest one. They take each their turn. Their houses become skyscrapers. Since they are always looking at the heights, their spines become crooked, making their heads be tilted upwards. Now they no longer see the workers nor the staff, not even their peers. One day the architects no longer want to build higher. The two billionaires, being in perfect “equal height”, decide to pursue competition on their own, without architects, without engineers, without workers and without their house workers. Suddenly the house of the first billionaire collapses, while the second one is locked in his solitude.
A fable about the madness of men, a humorous critique of the modern world, of competition at any price and of the “always more”. There is a political theme, but it is not only one of many criticisms of the consumerist society. Beyond this announcement of the end of the world, we must also read the opportunity to reinvent the future.
