Hyderabadi Irani Chai

                                     A short film by Sampurna Ghosh

When we think of Hyderabad, it is Charminar and Hyderabadi biryani that comes to our mind. Hyderabad and Hyderabadi biryani is almost synonymous, each giving the other its unique identity. In the short film ‘Hyderabadi Irani Chai’, filmmaker Sampurna Ghosh explores one of Hyderabad’s most well kept secrets – its Irani chai. She beautifully captures the essence of Hyderabad, its quaint old world charm and its rich living traditions – in this case the Irani Chai – that continues to survive despite the many onslaughts of CCDs, Baristas, Starbucks.  Like many Indian cities, Hyderabad too is never about- out with the old and in with the new; it is about the old with the new.  It is about Charminar and the IT hub, and Irani chai with the Starbucks.
