Not long ago, a food-delivery worker turned up at Mumbai’s Regal Cinema on a Thursday evening, caught a screening between shifts, and handed INR1,000 ($10.65) to the wife of Dungarpur. The man told her he could never get to see films like these at a multiplex, Dungarpur recalls, but here the 6:30 show fit between his deliveries – and he wanted to contribute.
