Their new film ‘Ha Bharat Maza’ is a timely film, set on the backdrop of the present atmosphere in the country, which is charged with Anna Hazare’s India Against Corruption movement.

Ha Bharat Majha
In the film, Anna Sukhatme recalls a story of his great grandfather. In good old days in a village Anna’s great grandfather had a Peepul tree in his courtyard, where villagers used to assemble to share their moments of sorrow & joy. One day he noticed that the tree is drying. He peeped in his mind, wondering whether he had done any wrong…..All the villagers started looking into their minds, whether they had done anything wrong….
The Peepul tree blossomed again!
India against corruption movement today inspires everyone of us to protect the ‘Peepul trees’ in our courtyards!
