Pipsi (2017)
Chaani and Balu are classmates and best friends. Even though theirs is a drought-stricken village in Maharashtra, the two of them find enough joy in their simple lives. It’s only when Chaani’s mother is given only three months to live that a dark shadow is cast upon the children. Determined to save her mother, Chaani visits some temples, and at one she hears a story that convinces her that if she can keep a pet fish alive, then her mother will be saved. So Chaani catches a guppy and names it Pipsi, which is also the name of a local cola drink. Just as the Pipsi drink stands for the hopes and aspirations of the villagers, so is Pipsi the fish for Chaani.
