==Synopsis==<br />
The film details the lives of two fishermen from the Koli community of Mumbai. One fisherman, Ganesh follows modern practices and owns a crewed fishing boat, has a modern apartment, but is saddled with debt, while the other, Rakesh, follows the traditional practices of the community and lives in a modest way. The film contrasts the two men while exploring the larger currents at play in 21st century India.<br />
