The art of making the inanimate move, talk, laugh, dance, cry was perhaps the most prized inheritance Madhab received from his father; he lapped it up and made it central to his existence. As he helplessly witnesses the fast fading popularity of the puppet theatres and his own team is nearly defunct, Madhab fears that he is heading towards obscurity. Dolls Don’t Die chronicles the battles and dreams of a man who is caught between the rugged realities and the ecstasies of a passionate artist. It celebrates his lonely, gritty fight, which he put up simply to keep his artistic practice alive.
