The Morning Ritual
2008, English. Directed by Ritesh Batra.
"The Morning Ritual" mixes fiction with the reality of India's largest metropolis - Mumbai. Iqbal Sheikh, 7 plays himself - Iqbal. A new law will not allow Iqbal to perform his morning ritual where he usually does because of the plush condos that have been erected by the sea. His quest to do his morning ritual takes him to the city's new public toilets, to a brush with the dangerous toilet mafia and to a place he has never been before - the other Mumbai.
