Dharavi is a 1992 Hindi film, directed and written by Sudhir Mishra. Raj Karan Yadav is a scrappy taxi driver, who somehow scrapes a living in the big metropolis of Bombay, driving a taxi every day. He lives in a one-room tenement with his wife in Dharavi, one of the world's largest slums, where the film is set. The film follows his fortunes as he tries to break out from the clutches of poverty, devising plans and investing all his money in a dubious schemes which eventually blow out on him, coming under the eye of unscrupulous politician and local goons, yet his dreams continue.
Dharavi brings to life the squalid corruption and crime-ridden expanse of the largest slum in Asia. The fast paced plot brings us a buoyant and susceptible Rajkiran who hires rides as a cabbie and lives in a cubbyhole with his wife Kunda and son. Rajkiran is possessed with the desire to own a cloth factory and making his situation better; he pledges all his resources to this sole dream of making it big.
