Synopsis

In December 2015, three college students from Pune University- Adarsh, Vikas and Shrikrishna, set out to explore the most inaccessible parts of India on their bicycles. “We want to explore every nook and corner of the country, to study the human condition and to experience the spirit of India”, they explain to the soldiers at each CRPF Camp that they pass, as they get closer to the Red Corridor. About 10kms from the Basaguda Camp, they halt to refill their bottles, where they get surrounded by villagers. They realise it is the Naxalites who decide to keep them hostage, after they find a hand-drawn map on Adarsh. Explaining the purpose and intention of the expedition to one Naxal commander is just the beginning. The film follows the journey as their interrogation by the Naxalites continues at each new settlement with increasing intensity.

In an overstimulated world of WhatsApp universities and paid TV channels, I came across a book publication that detailed this true story of three boys who relentlessly cycled into the deepest parts of India, only to experience everything first hand. This fearless confrontation motivated me to retrace the journey they had taken in 2015. Pop-culture trio-films in India have always been about interpersonal relationships, and I was a part of one such narrative as an actor. 3 Bikes 4 Days starts as an individual adventure and grows into the wider perspective of universal conflicts of man-state and man-nature. As a student of sociology, I have always been intrigued by the gap between the ideals set by the Preamble and the ground realities of the state. The narrative attempts to understand and depict this gap in the backdrop of the Red Corridor through the eyes of three courageous young minds.
