The

is
brief
information
about
the
movie
Gubbacchigalu
(Sparrows)
Synopsis:
Amidst
the
hustle
and
bustle
of
the
concrete
jungle
of
a
sprawling
city,
two
children
go
on
a
quest
to
find
'their" missing
sparrow.
This
film
Gubbacchigalu
(Sparrows)
takes
us
on
a
journey,
along
with
the
children,
Ila
and
Anirudhdha,
as
they
pursue
the
elusive
sparrow.
They
set
off
from
home
with
a
guilt-ridden
conscience
that
they
may
have
been
responsible
for
the
sparrow"s
disappearance.
But
it
is
their
innocence
and
curiosity
that
take
them
on
a
trail
of
learning
and
discovery
as
they
arrive
at
unusual
places
and
meet
unusual
people.
Everyone
they
meet
says
that
there
are
sparrows
around;
but
are
these
birds
really
there?
Unable
to
find
even
a
single
sparrow
in
sight,
the
children"s
anxiety
and
guilt
only
grows,
after
each
encounter.
Do
the
children
finally
find
the
sparrow?
The
once
ubiquitous
sparrow
is
now
almost
an
extinct
species.
This
movie
brings
into
sharp
focus
the
realities
of
urban
life,
the
curiosity
of
young
minds
and
the
dwindling
biodiversity
of
our
surroundings.
