(Documentary, 18 min., English, Digital Video) Produced by: CELEBRATE BANDRA TRUST Directed by: PAROMITA VOHRA Camera: AVIJIT MUKUL KISHORE Sound: ANITA KUSHWAHA Editors: JABEEN MERCHANT, SANKALP MESHRAM Actors: TUHINA VOHRA, SONALI VERMA, RACHEL LOPEZ Who is Sandra? And if she's from Bandra where is she? If you saw her would you know her? As you walk through Bandra past the rozedars buying food from Jeff's, the college kids making the mochas last, the aunties haggling with the vegetable sellers, the biker boys on Bandstand, the commuters pouring out of the sunlit old station building you may well ask Where's Sandra? This short film looks for the answers in random encounters and intimate conversations – in Church, with a priest who leads us through the graveyard, in the words of poets and the songs of Hindi films, in the ladies compartment of the local train where a group of women sing Konkani songs, finally finding several Sandras in Bandra. Some hate their name, some love it but didn't start out in Bandra and some turn out to be fraudulently claiming the title. The film wanders around Bandra wondering about Sandra – stereotype or fantasy? Affectionate parody or vicious mockery? Still here or just a figment from the past?
