Where does the title of your film come from?
It is derived from a mythological tale pertaining to the lunar eclipse. In certain parts of Punjab, the tradition is that those from the ‘lower' caste go around asking for alms during an eclipse. They ask for alms in the name of a blind horse. That's what the book by Gurdial Singh, on which the film is based, is titled. The film opens on the night of a lunar eclipse with a man asking for alms.
You travelled with a group of nomadic folk balladeers in Punjab for some time before you made the film. Did that influence your film?
I travelled with them between 2002 and 2005. I got a grant from the India Foundation for the Arts to document their ballads. Most of these balladeers come from lower castes. I had, by then, read the Gurdial Singh book. As I stayed on with them, the characters of the book started becoming more and more tangible to me. The linguistic and cultural nuances and dimensions of Punjab became clearer to me. I was born and brought up in Delhi so I did not know about the different dialects in Punjab. This film uses the Malwai dialect of Bhatinda. Not many Punjabi films deal with dialects like this, or even caste relations, for that matter. It was an eye-opener for me to see that the lower castes live separately and even have a separate Gurudwara.
How did the international and national response to the film differ?
At national festivals, people said they were expecting songs, dance or something about a marriage since this is a Punjabi film. The story is set in a village. All this cannot happen in one regular day. I can only include things that retain the mood of the film. This was the first film in Punjabi to make it to international festivals. In Munich we had four house-full screenings. People came up to me and said they had never been moved like this. They asked me how I managed to capture the inner anxieties of the characters. I could do that because the film moves at a very calm pace. Normally, you give information and quickly move on to the next piece of information to move the story forward. But something moves on after the information dies and the film keeps going.
In view of the expectation that people had from your film in the national circuit, what would you say about the way the Punjabi community is depicted in our pop culture?
Pop culture has its space. I don't have a problem with it. Punjab was crying out for an alternate depiction. Such faces have never been shown before. These are regular villagers' faces. I have never seen people spontaneously breaking into bhangra in a village. These are all clichés and stereotypes. My next film too is gritty and hard-hitting. It deals with the phase of militancy in Punjab in the 1980s. The balladeers I travelled with traditionally performed at night around a bonfire. But after the phase of militancy in the 80s, it became impossible for them. It's not a subject that has been explored much. You could maybe count Maachis. But that also functions in a certain genre. As for the violence and riots during the Partition, Tamas is the only film that comes to mind.
We don't have much on that, surprisingly.
The Partition has harmed Punjab so much. It was more a partition of Punjab and Bengal than anything else. When I went to Lahore for a screening I felt in sync with the rhythm of that place. The food was like home food, I was very comfortable with the way the language (Punjabi) was spoken there. Most of Punjabi culture and Punjabi intellectuals, the writing in Gurmukhi moved across the border. The state is still reeling under the blow of the Partition. There is still a nostalgia for undivided Punjab. People kept asking me when the border would be razed. The falling of the Berlin wall shows a political maturity. I don't feel our political class is mature enough to ease movement across the border, allow a freer cultural exchange. We have to get over our paranoia.
There is also a clear Mani Kaul influence on the film in the way you use silences.
Mani Kaul always used to say that cinema is not a visual medium but a temporal one. He would always give examples from music – you need that to understand the concept of duration. As creative producer of the film, he saw the first 10 minutes of the edit without the visual track and suggested edits. And then when he watched it with the visual track, he said it was perfect.
At any point during the making of the film or after you got the first few reactions, did you feel that it could win national awards?
No. I was expecting best Punjabi film, but not best director. Our cinematographer has done a fantastic job, he too won an award for this film. It is not an easy film for many people. When people ask me what the film is about, I say it is about cinema. It is a serious way of looking at cinema and representation.

Life and work[edit]
Early life[edit]
Gurdial Singh was born on 10 January 1933 in the village of Bhaini Fateh near Jaitu[2] in British Punjab. His father, Jagat Singh, was a carpenter, and his mother, Nihal Kaur, took care of the household.[1] The young Singh began working as a carpenter at the age of 12 to support his family's poor financial conditions.[6] By his own admission, Singh worked 16 hours a day when he took on various jobs such as making wheels for bullock carts and metal sheet forming for water tanks. Together, he and his father earned ₹20 (29¢ US) a day from hard labour.[1]
In childhood, Singh was interested in painting but gradually he applied himself to a formal education. After successfully persuading Singh's father that his son was worthy of more schooling, Madan Mohan Sharma, the headmaster of a middle school that Singh attended in Jaito, encouraged the young boy to stick with his studies, even though his father thought it was futile. Singh completed his Matric examination while he worked in various day time jobs. At the age of 14, he married Balwant Kaur. In 1962, he took the job of school teacher in Nandpur Kotra which paid him ₹60 (87¢ US) in monthly salary. Meanwhile, Singh continued his own education, went on to receive his B.A. in English and History, and followed that up with a M.A. in 1967.[1]
Literary career[edit]
Singh started his literary career in 1957 with a short story, 'Bhaganwale', which was published in Panj Darya, a magazine edited by Mohan Singh. His later stories were published in Preetlari, edited by Gurbaksh Singh.[1] His major work, Marhi Da Deeva, established his reputation as a novelist. Singh wrote four different versions of the novel over the course of four years, before he decided to publish the fourth and final one in 1964. The various characters Singh portrayed in the novel were recreations of real-life people woven into a fictitious storyline.[1] It was translated into English by Sahitya Akademi as The Last Flicker.[7]
Singh's other notable works included the novels Anhoe (1966), Addh Chanani Raat (1972), Anhe Ghore Da Daan (1976) and Parsa (1991); collections of short stories, including Saggi Phull (1962), Kutta Te Aadmi (1971), Begana Pind (1985) and Kareer Di Dhingri (1991); and autobiographies Neean Mattiyan (1999) and Dojee Dehi (2000) published in two parts.[1] The novels Addh Chanani Raat and Parsa have been translated into English as Night of the Half Moon (published by Macmillan) and Parsa by the National Book Trust, respectively.[7]
Singh's favourite works included Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, Irving Stone's Lust for Life, John Steinbeck's The Grapes Of Wrath, Phanishwar Nath Renu's Maila Anchal, Prem Chand's Godaan and Yashpal's Divya.[1]
