It was 15th Aug - the 50th anniversary of India's Independence day Celebrated on all over the country. In Mumbai, six citizens from different walks of life-a businessman, bureaucrat, lawyer, professor, teacher and a vagabond, gather in a godown of a dilapidated mill. They are dressed as well known personalities from the Indian History - Gandhi, Nehru, Bose, Tilak, Rani of Jhansi and lesser known martyr Babu Genu for a procession that is to start from the mill gate.
As the procession gets delayed, the six are left to themselves in the mill as they wait impatiently for the delayed parade to start. Soon small skeletons in their personal cupboard begin to rattle, highlighting the irony of their present engagement. Their anxieties and fears are in direct contrast to the masks that they are wearing. The atmosphere turns claustrophobic and bitter, showing us the post Independent India where muscle and money power have corrupted the environment and robbed its citizens of their actual freedom.
Into this tense atmosphere, in walks the irresistible and seductive Barbie, the American dream embodiment of free and affluent Western world walking the thin line between caricature and reality. The fear and hypocrisy of the characters surface as they fall prey to her seductive charm. In all this madness emerges the hidden face of the underworld don who has sponsored the parade.
