MIC DROP MIC DROP KALLOL MUKHERJEE

Under the scorching sun, a tired young farmer named Ankit takes a much-needed break. In the distance, he spots an elderly farmer struggling with a tool. He checks his mobile, hops onto his bike and rushes towards the city. Arriving at a friend's house, they transform the bedroom into a makeshift recording studio. Ankit changes his clothes and with each layer of clothing replaced, the farmer sheds his former self and wears bis new identity: FPC ANK, The Bundelkhandi Rapper. The documentary delves deep into FPC ANK's world, exposing his tenacity and unwavering passion as he tirelessly works on his debut album to tell the stories of his people.

ಸ್ಥಳೀಯ ಭಾಷೆಗಳನ್ನೇ ನಿರ್ಲಕ್ಷಿಸುವ ಪ್ರದೇಶಣದಲ್ಲಿ, ಬುಂದೇಲ್ಖಂಡ್ನ ಗಾಯಕನೊಬ್ಬ ತನ್ನ ಮೊದಲ ಆಲ್ಬಂ ಹೊರತರಲು ಹಗಲೂ ಇರುಳೂ ಶ್ರಮಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾನೆ. ಆತ ಹಣಕಾಸು ಸಮಸ್ಯೆಯನ್ನು ಎದುರಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾನೆ. ಸಂಪನ್ಮೂಲಗಳ ಕೊರತೆಯಿಂದ ಚಡಪಡಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾನೆ. ಈತನ ಕಷ್ಟಗಳನ್ನು ನೋಡಿದರೆ, ಅವನಿಂದ ಅದನ್ನು ಮಾಡಲು ಸಾಧ್ಯವೇ? ಎಂಬ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆ ಉದ್ಭವಿಸುತ್ತದೆ. ಅಲ್ಲದೆ ಅಂತಹ ಶ್ರಮ ಅಗತ್ಯವೇ ಎನ್ನುವ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆಯೂ ಮೂಡುತ್ತದೆ.
