The Stage Race

By Dhaval Prajapati with 6.5

documentary · Short Films · hindi

The film introduces us to an interesting premise by way of the experiences of its subject.The story is of Suresh Prajapati, a man who has been passionate about cycling ever since he was a child and would somehow scrape money to buy second-hand bicycles.

The documentary film portrays for us a uniquely demanding race where every participant's resilience and determination was put to test. Prajapati covered 600 kms around Mumbai as part of the six-day-race, the humongous feat which is now the primary concern of the narrative. The international tournament took place decades ago, but is evidently a very precious and lucid memory for Prajapati. It is by delineating this relationship that the film leaves the viewer with an uplifting message about a strong will and the invincibility of human spirit if one truly sets their heart on what they love.
