The only film selected from Jharkhand has been written and directed by Anamika Kumari, while another former student of Karim City, Kartik Kumar Bhagat is the cinematographer of the film. Currently, Karthik is pursuing his higher studies at FTII.
Talking to the Avenue Mail, Anamika Kumari said, �The story is about a little child named Billu who falls in love with the street light and grows under the shadow of lights.
After a leap of 15 years Billu becomes a national level shadow artist. Billu is in love with light because he belongs to a poor family where he himself is the earner and learner.
He doesn�t have lights in his house and grows in the shadows of the candle and street lights and had led a life of �Roshni ke Safar Mein�.�
Neha Tiwary, Karim City College mass communication department HoD, said, �The students have always been active in film making and the department has also pushed them to bring out new creative ideas and stories, I wish Anamika success in life and she would go a very long way and reach new heights.�
