SYNOPSIS

The Lift Boy is a coming of age story of a 24-year-old vagabond who is forced to work at a posh building in Mumbai as a Lift Boy when his bread-winning father falls ill.

DIRECTOR’S NOTE

” The Lift Boy is inspired by life in Mumbai & an encounter of mine with a liftboy in the city on 4th March 2015. This slice of life, feel good story metaphorically expresses the fact that there is a lift boy in each one of us and life is like a Lift, sometimes it takes us up & sometimes it takes us down depending on the buttons we press aka choices we make. The film celebrates dignity of labour, a strong universal father-son relationship and strives to show the world an aspirational and inspirational India (Panache in Poverty). Come, celebrate life and lift your spirits with THE LIFT BOY. ”
