Plot
edit"Ab Dilli Dur Nahin" is an emotional drama that follows the inspiring journey of Abhay Shukla, a young man from a small town in Bihar who dreams of becoming an IAS officer. With his family struggling to make ends meet, Abhay moves to Delhi to pursue his aspirations, encountering numerous obstacles along the way. Inspired by the real-life story of Govind Jaiswal, a rickshaw puller's son who became an IAS officer in 2007, the film explores the themes of success and failure through Abhay's struggles to achieve his goal. Actor Zahid, who portrays Abhay, had the privilege of meeting Jaiswal to gain insight into his character and willpower, which further motivated him to portray the role with authenticity. From facing societal norms and political issues to cultural ironies, Abhay's journey is an arduous one, filled with insurmountable hurdles that he must overcome to fulfill his dreams and lift his family out of poverty.[5][6][7][8]
