'''''Haal-E-Kangaal''''' ([[Hindi]]: हाल ए कंगाल, [[English language|English]]: The Bankrupts) is a minimalist [[Hindi language]] [[feature film]]. The film is shot in a single location – a suburban flat in the city of Mumbai. The film stars only two actors. [[Ramchandra PN]] served as both the writer and director. The film is a [[Black Comedy|black comedy]] that is a humorous account of the artistic and intellectual bankruptcy of independent filmmaking scene that presently exists in India. In a larger context, the film subtly debates the role of a filmmaker / artist in a highly competitive self centric world.

== Plot ==

Two struggling filmmakers meet after a gap of fifteen years and have to spend a few hours together. As one of them narrates a script of a film to the another over liberal doses of drinks, the past catches up with them and for the two friends the celebration soon turns into a secession of one up-man-ship where accusations flow freely – the question of success, of failures and of a subtle comparison of individual achievements arise. The duo by the end of the film realise that they are as bankrupt as ever – literally, and in all sense of the word.<ref>http://sonkfilms.com/THE-BANKRUPTS.htm</ref>
