An 11-year-old Indian boy is abandoned by his family and takes to the streets of Bombay, where he enjoys the company of a disparate group of pimps, prostitutes, drug addicts and other street children. Shafiq Syed, the movie's star, had himself slept rough on the streets of Bombay, as had many of the other children who appear in the film.
