'Skims the murky world of dispossessed youth while sporting a spare, swift style'—The Hindu Sathi is a young soda-seller in a run-down cinema hall in a small town. Ill-paid and always weary, he finds relief from everyday tedium in marijuana and his friends—vulnerable, desperate young men who work around the movie hall. An intense and tender friendship with one of the men sustains Sathi, until a train of events casts the meagre certainties of his days and nights into disarray. Slick, visceral and startlingly inventive, Current Show unfolds in a manner that simulates rapid cinematic cuts. Murugan's keen eye and crackling prose plumb the dark underbelly of small-town life, bringing Sathi's world and entanglements thrillingly to life.
