This Documentary is about river ‘Musi’, which flows through Hyderabad. It interacts with the people living along the riverbanks. It compares the current state of the river with it’s royal past through the words of these ordinary people. It shows how the river served the people from centuries and how it is badly treated by the same people these days. Due to lack of awareness among the people, and carelessness and ignorance by the government, the river is in very bad state. The river, which got flooded in 1908, is now just reducing to a tricel. The river is left with just 62 % of water remaining in it. It is estimated that nearly 350 million liters of polluted water and sewage originating from Hyderabad and Secunderabad flow into the river, daily.
