The issue of futility of urban migration is viewed in the story of Ghulam Hasan, a migrant from Uttar Pradesh who goes to Mumbai, and how he tries to find a foothold in his new life as a taxi driver.
Portraying the myriad of different universes that exists within a metropolis, Gaman is a poetic essay about the anguish of a dreamer seeking a better life away from his rural home. Capturing Mumbai through rich vignettes and a pointed gaze, the film questions the existence of humanity in the city.
