Ilai (Diector. Rajiv Reddy) is a film tracing the journey of a young homeless girl in India, Chennai. As she newly arrives in the choc-o-block, bustling city over packed with traffic and people, she actively tries to make sense of the world around her. Harnessing an innate ability of knowing when to defend and when to chase love, the little girl quickly learns how to carry herself on the bitter sweet streets. She befriends a woman who becomes a mother type figure. Ilai predominantly is an exploration of how the two influence one another to leave comfort zones.
At times, the cinematography will have you spell bound. Artistic shots of the sun and the streets make this film a visual treat: for instance, a particular shot of the heat rising from the train tracks is executed so well, you can feel the heat- an achievement for any piece of art.
