The documentary unfolds against a backdrop of social and religious tension in New Delhi, presenting the story of three men committed to rescuing Black Kites—a population struggling alongside humans due to environmental pollution. The film begins with Salik arriving carrying boxes overflowing with fruit, seemingly containing numerous fragile and undernourished birds needing care. Mohammad Said and Nadeem Shehzad are clearly driven by a purpose, and as the narrative progresses, one understands the magnitude of their undertaking and the realization that they cannot save every bird, or even most of them. Simultaneously, the city experiences unrest, prompting them to relocate their families to Old Delhi so they can concentrate on establishing a pet care shop. Though lacking formal medical training—their family business involves soap dispensers—they’ve gained practical knowledge through study and community support, including assistance with food supplies. This combination creates moments of engagement. However, I found the pacing slow and the presentation unremarkable. While their work is admirable, these men don't possess a strong personality and appear dedicated but somewhat lacking in dynamism for a film that runs over 97 minutes. It would have been beneficial to include more scientific explanation regarding the birds’ ailments and further exploration of the political factors fueling the riots. Despite this, it’s still recommendable, though ultimately disappointing.
