AN ORDINARY ELECTION

A film by Lalit Vachani

@ 6.30pm
Thursday, 27th August, 2015
Venue: Everest Talkies, Fraser Town

THE DIRECTOR WILL BE PRESENT FOR THE SCREENING

2015, India/Germany, 125 min.
- in Hindi and English, with English subtitles 

SYNOPSIS:
Delhi, August - December 2013.
A new politics of hope and change flickers in the world's largest democracy, as a rank outsider makes an audacious bid for political power. A tiny new political party prepares to take on the mighty political establishment in the capital city: the Aam Aadmi Party, the party of the Common Man.

An Ordinary Election tells the extra-ordinary story of the Aam Aadmi Party's debut election campaign in the constituency of RK Puram, Delhi. From the campaign war room to the streets, from the narrow lanes of urban slums to the manicured parks of upper-class neighbourhoods, the crew follows the charismatic candidate Shazia Ilmi and the ordinary men and women of the Aam Aadmi Party fighting to change the terms of Indian democracy in an election campaign where victory seems impossible.

As it documents the progress of the campaign, the film raises several questions:
Both within and outside the party, who is the
aam aadmi, the common man? Can the Aam Aadmi Party live up to its own ideals of decentralization and swaraj or self- rule? What is the fine line that distinguishes political sincerity from political expediency?

An Ordinary Election is the story of the battle for Indian democracy from up-close: an intimate ground-up perspective of the anxieties, ambitions, struggles, and intrigues from the electoral battleground itself.
