Holika Dahan Documentary | Social Media vs Ground Reality in Kanpur

In the bustling lanes of Kanpur, the festival of Holika Dahan is more than just a ritual — it’s emotion, tradition, and community spirit. But does social media portray the true picture?

This documentary explores the contrast between viral narratives online and the actual ground reality during Holika Dahan. While social platforms often amplify selective visuals and heated debates, the streets of Kanpur tell a more nuanced story — of neighbourhood gatherings, safety arrangements, local administration involvement, and age-old traditions being followed with responsibility.

Through on-ground reporting, public reactions, and real-time observations, the film examines how digital perception can sometimes differ from lived experience.

Is the festival changing, or is the narrative changing?

This ground report dives deep into the conversation — separating facts from forwards, and reality from reels.
