Description and download:

The movie showcases the life of THE architecture student, THE institution, and all the people surrounding it. Arundhati Roy portrays her own self in the movie while questioning the hypocrisy of the profession of architecture. It is a must see for anyone who is related to the profession in any way. The movie was indeed shot at the institution, i.e. School of Planning and Architecture which is referred in it as the National College of Architecture, where Arundhati Roy actually studied.

Anand Grover, better known as Annie, is victimized for making fun of his principal Y.D. Billimoria (popularly known as Yamdoot or Hell's messenger) years ago. At the School of Architecture, New Delhi, Annie is repeating his fifth year for the fourth time. He spends his hours in the hostel which is the best part of his life, by 'giving it those ones' - indulging in daydreams of social upliftment. His latest idea is to plant fruit trees on either side of railway tracks, where rural India defecates daily. The fecal matter will provide the necessary compost for the trees, while the trains, with sprinklers attached, will automatically water the plants.

Annie also keeps two hens in his room and earns a modest sum by selling the eggs, till one day his friend, Mankind, and his Ugandan roommate, Kasozi, make a roasted meal out of them. Soon, however, hirsute Arjun and his girlfriend Radha, a non-conformist student who steals cigarettes from Yamdoot and talks back to the teachers, present Annie with a rabbit.

Many adventures later, the day to submit the thesis draws near, and Annie, urged by his friends, apologises to Yamdoot. A panel of judges call the students one by one for their final interviews and the tension mounts. Radha goes dressed in a saree but wears a man's hat to detract from her sober attire. To make sure that Annie gets a sympathetic hearing from the hostile panel, Radha and Arjun work out a plan. Just when Annie is called in, Yamdoot receives a phone call from his dominating deep-voiced mother, in actuality Mankind. The trick works and the weary panel gives Annie a good grade.

At the party after the graduation ceremony Annie arrives with heavy books under his arm, his hair shaved off and a butterfly painted on his head! He informs his friends that he has decided to study law and then sue Yamdoot. But subsequently, Annie joins the staff at the architecture school and, when Yamdoot retires, even becomes the Head of the Department of Design!

The movie happens to be Bollywood's glamour star Shahrukh Khan's first movie as an actor. Interestingly, he plays an eunuch in the film, and has a role of only a few seconds!! The cast of the movie shown by this website displays his name last, despite being a very popular actor today.
