Storyline
A grandmother shares stories of a kind and magical god with her grandchild, stories that once reflected a democratic India. Now, those same tales are being twisted to support a violent political agenda. The film is a memory and a dream of the country that was lost.
“A grandmother's story. A nation's forgotten dream.”

→Trivia
- The film's title is a direct translation of the Hindi phrase 'Meri Amma Ki Kahani', which connects it to oral storytelling traditions.
- Director Nehal Vyas reportedly used family archive audio recordings as a sonic base for some scenes.
- The production design team consulted folk artists from Rajasthan to create visual motifs for the grandmother's tales.
- It was primarily shot in Gujarat and Rajasthan, but set details avoid naming specific real towns.
- The film's score blends traditional 'bhajans' with electronic music to contrast past and present.
- A key scene involving a 'katha' storyteller uses a first-time actor who is a real community elder.
- The script was workshopped at a screenwriting lab focused on films from the Global South.
