Ninko, a young, diligent Buddhist monk, has one serious problem: Women can’t seem to resist him. They pester him so much that he can’t even ask for alms in town. Since sexual indulgence is considered a sin, he blames himself for not being virtuous enough. One day, he runs into a masked woman in the forest who tries to seduce him. Running away from her, his problem only gets worse. Nearly driven mad, he escapes deep into the mountains to be alone. There he finds a corpse in a deserted village, victimized by a specter who seduces the spirits of men. A samurai claims that he can kill the specter, and Ninko follows him, hoping that he’ll rid him of his curse.

Jugaad is an immersive mosaic of stories about people from different communities in Mumbai, one of the most disparate, diverse and densely populated cities on Earth.
Behind the camera, the outsider-filmmaker makes her way through India’s Promised Land, exploring the highs, lows and in-between moments of everyday life. Through a series of striking observations and cinematic stories, Jugaad non-judgmentally captures the emotional essence of an important and complex urban centre while reflecting how we all survive our paradoxical world. Survival means different things to different people, whether it’s struggling to keep a roof over our family’s heads, fighting to change society or finding one’s purpose.
The word “jugaad” is a colloquial Hindi and Punjabi word that means creative problem solving. It’s the connective tissue of the city, is essential for artists to master, and is at the crux of survival in our world today.
