== Background ==
Nashebaaz explores the problem of drug addiction in homeless people in Delhi that has been overlooked for several years. People visit Delhi in search of work and a better life, but when they are unable to find work they end up living on the streets. They are eventually introduced to some highly addictive drugs like [[heroin]], [[pharmaceutical drug]]s and [[inhalant]] drugs. And as a form of escapism they are entrapped into the quagmire of drug addiction. Some drugs are so cheap that can even be bought for five [[rupee]]s. ''It'' was filmed over a period of 5 years, from 2011 to its release in 2016. Part of the reason it took that length of time was the unapproachable nature for homeless people.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.nashebaaz.org/2017/10/nashebaaz-dying-people-of-delhi.html|title=Nashebaaz - The Dying People of Delhi|website=www.nashebaaz.org|access-date=2018-01-30}}</ref>
