Cinema can help you better your life, film stars can give you moral
and spiritual messages that can uplift you. Sagai believes this. Sagai
is a film buff and his idol is South Indian Superstar Rajnikanth.
He grew up watching films in a semi legal video parlor in the mumbai
slums. When he came of age he started working in the same place as did
his father before him. The video theatre no longer exists. In a
charming, eloquent and often politically incorrect street speak, he
shares the story of his video theatre alongside his trip with films.

Love, Sex Aur Dhoka | Handy Cam Movie

Directed by the path breaking Dibakar Banerjee ("Khosla Ka Ghosla", "Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!") and produced by Balaji Motion Pictures, "LSD Love Sex aur Dhokha" (loosely translated as Love, Sex and Betrayal) is India's premier digital film -- raw, explicit and has cult cross over written all over it

The synopsis for the February 2010 film reads thus, "Love Sex aur Dhokha is a film about voyeurism. It is essentially about how we have become a generation of voyeurs and flashers simultaneously. This film is about keyhole. On one side of the keyhole is a guy who is peeping in and on other side, there is a person who is hoping that someone is peeping in, and then its us, who are seeing all this. And it is adding bizarre subtext to our society. On television, newspapers, other media, we are obsessed with the most meaningless trivia of what other people are doing about their life."
