ABOUT THE FILM

Sometimes the story of a life is the story of a search to be at home.
The House on Gulmohar Avenue traces the personal journey of the
filmmaker through the ideas of identity and belonging. The film is set
in a part of New Delhi called Okhla, where four generations of the
filmmaker's family have lived. An area that is predominantly inhabited
by Muslims. An area that is sometimes also called Mini Pakistan.

The filmmaker's personal history is a hybrid one but she grew up as a
Muslim. Set against a quiet presence of the political context in
India, the film seeks an honest and deeply personal understanding of
what this means – when is she aware of being Muslim, when does it
matter to her and when is it easier to forget it. In the journey to
answer these difficult questions, the film seeks out encounters with
other residents of Okhla to arrive at a complex understanding of what
it can mean to be Muslim in India today.
