Summary:
Vishnu
, the odd-job man in a Bombay apartment block, lies dying on the staircase landing: Around him the lives of the apartment dwellers unfold: the warring housewives on the first floor, lovesick teenagers on the second, and the widower, alone and quietly grieving on the top floor of the building. In a fevered state
Vishnu
looks back on his love affair with the seductive Padmim and wonders if he might actually be the god
Vishnu
, guardian of the entire universe. Blending incisive comedy with
Hindu
mythology and a dash of Bollywood sparkle, The Death of
Vishnu
is an intimate and compelling view of an unforgettable world.
