An Ill-Fated Artist

About This Movie

An Ill-Fated Artist captures the raw essence of struggle in contemporary India, blending documentary with dramatic flair. Rishit Bhatia’s direction feels intimate, almost voyeuristic, as it chronicles Ankit Tiwari's life—a security guard by day, a Hip-Hop enthusiast by night. The film's pacing allows us to really dwell in Ankit's dual existence, caught between duty and passion. The atmosphere is thick with the hum of urban life, punctuated by vibrant street performances that showcase not just talent but a deep longing for expression. Performances are grounded, with Ankit embodying the everyman grappling with societal expectations while chasing dreams. It's definitely a distinctive look at the intersection of art and livelihood, highlighting that art often stems from the most unlikely places.
