“Erased follows a street boy as he weaves an astonishing path across Mumbai, less interested in selling flowers than in seeking out small sensuous moments, nuggets of glitter and gloss that emerge from amidst the grime of his life on the streets. His saving grace? A poster of his Bollywood goddess Kareena Kapoor, which he returns to adorn with his meager findings at the end of the day. Neha Raheja Thakker’s evocative short film captures a quality of survival that is nearly always effaced in documentaries about street-children—their sexuality. Definitely a filmmaker to watch out for.”
