'Skims the murky world of dispossessed youth while sporting a spare, swift style'--The Hindu
Sathi is a young soda-seller in a run-down cinema hall in a small town. Ill-paid and always weary, he finds relief from everyday tedium in marijuana and his friends--vulnerable, desperate young men who work around the movie hall. An intense and tender friendship with one of the men sustains Sathi, until a train of events casts the meagre certainties of his days and nights into disarray.
Slick, visceral and startlingly inventive, Current Show unfolds in a manner that simulates rapid cinematic cuts. Murugan's keen eye and crackling prose plumb the dark underbelly of small-town life, bringing Sathi's world and entanglements thrillingly to life.
