Santosh K Singh India
Bans Ghat
Living in crematorium, a young boy dreams of attending school like the other kids.
Out of the 35 million homeless children in India, up to 7,000 street children are living in Patna at railway stations, bus stands, religious places and under flyovers. Recently nearly 100 children have made their home at Bans Ghat – a crematorium. This film is the story of a little boy who lives there, makes a paltry living and saves enough in his piggy bank to pay for his books and join a school.

Santosh K Singh
Having crossed the signpost of graduation, Santosh K Singh had stars in his eyes; one international film festival was enough to mar his plans forever and here he was signing up for a filmmaking course. Then the grind began that we all know so well and which lurks at every corner of one’s career. But Santosh was adamant to be part of the industry that entertains for the whole world. He looked for a viable transition and became Assistant to Production Designers, Line Producers, Directors, and finally found his mettle as an Associate Director in Bollywood. He has completed eight films out of which two have won national awards in various categories. A keen student of film across world cinema, Santosh stands tall in his own eyes, because he is self-taught and self-made.
