DocumentaryDramaFamilyAdventure
Only about 50 people in a nation of 1.4 billion make a living working as a stunt driver in the Maut Ka Kuan (Well of Death). A profession and passion this niche deserves nothing but appreciation for carrying on a legacy that has kept millions of Indians entertained over decades. Raju, Sukhwir, Atul, Narendra, and Manovar are part of this niche cohort and have dedicated their lives to their craft, bringing smiles to people's faces. But the road to pursuing an occupation like this never comes easily. Through this short documentary, we explore the high-stakes world of the riders - where passion, risk, and sacrifice collide.
