Dhule-based K S Wani Memorial Trust has decided to screen their two-year-old Marathi film Ek Cup Chya, based on corruption and mismanagement in the state-owned electricity company, through a LCD projector as no distributor has come forward for its release.
“Ek Cup Chya was even shown to Anna Hazare at Ralegaon in Ahmednagar district and other social organisations recently. Since we couldn’t find any distributors, we have now decided to screen the film at social organisations or to small groups in Maharashtra including Mumbai, who are against corruption,” Kele said.
The story is about an honest bus conductor in state road transport corporation (MSRTC) receiving a big electricity bill of Rs 73,000 following which he comes to know about the steep corruption in the electricity company. His struggle to get out of the muddle with the help of RTI forms the crux.

The movie was also screened at the recently held International Film Festival in Goa. It had received good publicity in a section of press. According to trustees Gopal Kele, Jagannath Wani, and Yashwant Oak the film’s premier show was held at Pune in December 2009.
