A Tale of Four Cities (1968)
In "Char Shaher Ek Kahani" (1968), K.A. Abbas contrasts official images of India’s industrial progress with stark footage of urban poverty and Bombay’s red-light district. The 16-minute documentary became a landmark censorship case after the Central Board of Film Certification objected to its depiction of prostitution, leading Abbas to successfully challenge the decision in the Supreme Court.
