Sneh Sapru

Magical Creatures of Mumbai's Underbelly Sneh Sapru

In the big city of dreams live creatures most people no longer dream of. One where Medusa creeps through the quarters of a brothel, a cartel of birds burgeons a drug racket; a struggling actor cracks the chromosome to superstardom, and mermen kidnap fishermen by the coastline. Between the cramped by-lanes, behind the glittering skyline, beneath the dirt of the Arabian Sea, ordinary moments take an extraordinary turn as people rub shoulders with magical beings lurking in the shadows.
