Kayo Kayo Colour? is an independently produced Indian feature film, that shows the people of Sodagar ni Pol, Kalupur, in Ahmedabad. This neighbourhood is in the older, previously walled part of the city. Often referred to as the "old city", it is characterised by the many "Pols" or neighbourhoods with narrow homes all sharing common walls.

​

Working in the old city was challenging on many levels. First, the residents were new to and fascinated by the shooting process. This would result in young crowds forming around shoots, making it difficult to shoot in sync-sound. Gradually, however, the neighbourhood became familiar with the process, making it more manageable.

​

It was a big task convincing the residents to act in the film. As we got near production, we had first the adult cast and children back out for various personal and social pressures. The lead cast was changed one by one during the production stage. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as we ended up with a fantastic team of actors.

Most of the locations are also the casts' actual homes which were perfect for the direction the story finally took. They were literally "at home", making their performances natural and honest.
