This is our real India…. Always lokked down upon, booted out, no one thinks about them but they still have more optimism and humanity ….
5 minutes into the movie I can already smell the chana jor garam! Beautifully made!
And I thought I had problems. People like me who are privileged enough to have a comfortable life look at the world through a pinhole. Stories like these just makes you cringe and helpless. We need to hear more stories like this. We all need to feel human again.
Glad that you liked it ;)

exactly!!
Then you should re-watch it Mam 💜 it's amazing
One special mention for the crew guy interviewing the Kashmiri guy....the way you conversed was very smart. Presents all arguments but with a certain level of ease. Not anger or frustration but just opinions.
Thank you so much for your reviews :)
Yup that was wonderfully done! Would love to watch more of it.
Subtlety put, but yet to the point.

Great video ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sir aaj ye movie aapne hme school dekhai thi to mene ghr pe aake bi yhi movie dekhi bhot achi h
This documentry was like divine revelation to me, i have travelled through general compartment many times but never able to communicate with them or be intimate with them your documentry really helped me, and i will make sure that i try to initiate a good conversation with them, sometimes a good conversation is what is needed in the life.
The 5 people who dislike this either they dont have a taste or they should be a KRK fans😂
well done guys.. you did it very well !!👍
Hindustan. Bharat. Real India. Film crew deserves unqualified accolades. It deserves more than Oscar.
It is a soul-touching documentary. Some parts of this documentory brought tears to my eyes ... Life is so hard and the world is so harsh ... There is so much struggle, suffering and pain in this reality. And I often feel so hopeless and helpless in life. These unreserved compartments of the trains are probably carrying a lot of pain of the soul of India. This documentary is symbolizing that life itself is a journey through the changing landscapes of the reality. There are so many truths behind so many stories. Our politicians should watch this documentary before preparing their untrue public speeches. Each of them - the passengers of the unreserved compartments, is a great philosopher. They know how to be happy in life truly. I salute them and pray for them. I'm thankful and grateful to the directors and producers of this documentary and the channel who uploaded it. Videography is just excellent. I could see India so beautifully through the windows of truth. And it speaks about so many things including the harmony of religions. It's just great. Thank you. A thoughtful and insightful documentary. It's showing the journey of India's soul through those dark tunnels and meadows and all other landscapes. The conversation on Dr. Abdul Kalam was quite interesting. The empty platforms were the silent witnesses of this noisy journey in truth. I'll pray for all of them, all the passengers. I would like to know more about this journey like how did you travel across India by train ?! Where did you go first after starting from Mumbai ?! Did you complete the circle in a clockwise or in an anticlockwise direction?! Music by Indian Ocean is just a great wow. Thank you so much. Okay. Now, I can see and follow the map. You covered it in a clockwise direction. Why didn't you come to Kolkata ?! I kept on watching and writing. 🌈😇🤗🙏🙋
डॉकुमेंट्री ऐसे समाज और लोगों से परिचित कराती है जो अत्यंत मध्यम या निचले तबके से आते हैं .जिंदगी का संघर्ष अनारक्षित डिब्बे में साथ चलता है .
कोई लिखित स्क्रिप्ट नहीं होते हुए भी सभी लोगों ने सहज तरीके से अपने संघर्ष का बयान किया. यही जिंदगी का असली रंग है .सहजता, दिखावे से दूर और खुलकर अपनी बात कहने का माद्दा. बधाई पूरी क्रू टीम को.जल्द ही कुछ नया देखने को मिलेगा इसी उम्मीद के साथ शुभकामनाएँ.
I don't know why but the Kashmiri cricket loving guy supporting Pakistan doesn't surprise me or make me feel any kind of resentment. He rather seemed so innocent. Hopefully, he will soon have his reasons to start loving India.
Guys, feeling overwhelmed. Being a regular traveller through the general compartment since my childhood, connected with every moment of this docu. The diverse landscape and people of India have been beautifully captured. The sleeping styles of people was the most fun to watch.
I feel this documentary is a living, contemporary heritage of India. The transgenders, the kashmiri youth, the patriarchy of Haryana, the pain of a father somewhere compel us to introspect. Excellent work, keep it up.
Thank for watching and feeling the entire movie

Elicited 100s of emotions. Such a beauty.
Taken 6 years to find this gem 💙
*Took
Generally the ruling class often ignore the problems of the common people, so it's our & media's duty to keep bringing up such stories. Beautiful film C&S!
Thank you for understanding the cause :)

We sit in our cozy beds and get entertained by our gadgets. But once in a while we need a reality check on what's happening in the real world. This video does exactly that. I liked the raw content of the video. It is overwhelming to know the perspectives of the people who have REAL problems
You're brainwashed that only poors have real problems.
I don't know how you manage with a camera n mick in local train without making people uncomfortable or anxious. I guess those part were edited out...but still can't believe how these people who got on screen were natural and real.
Kudoss to you. Amazing work 👌
This movie covered all types of social problems in India rooting out of poverty :
1. Illiteracy
2. Helplessness
3. Over family plagues and expenses.
4. Women exploitation
5. Daily wage labour and rural-urban migration.
6. Over Population.
7. Religional over dependence supported by art and culture and regular prayers.
8. Unreserved category of poor people's problems.
9. Natural exclusion of poor people's participation in politics. We can also include higher education according to me including MBA, MBBS
10. Disability and links with poverty.
Those sound tracks of railway lines have weird silences, waved by great inferiority and low thoughts and poor life.
Please 'Camera and Shorts' I request you to please pin this comment as well 💜 very well written yaar
बहोत बहोत मज्जा आया.... बहोत ही खुले विचारोसे बनाई इस खूबसूरत फिल्म के लिये दिल से धन्यवाद...
Watching it in 2023, and this documentary has become one of my favourites! Keep it up guys 👏👏👏
We need more documentaries like these which captures the real to the skin Indian values, scenarios, and what we actually are and not the superficial fake glamour. I recommend all the flashy film stars to watch this and realise what is missing in their movies. Need to take this to a higher level,and masses. Brilliant
I liked it. N it makes me feel proud about you samarth that you are one from the neighboring city Dinanagar (i am from sujanpur) who is enjoying doing what you like.. i wish you all the best for your future endeavours..
Amazing work !!
During college days I used to travel from Lucknow to Trichy ( 48 Hours ) on waiting (sleeper)/unreserved tickets and each and every journey used to be epic.
I credit those journeys a lot to help me understand what India and it's people really are.
I could feel the conversations in the documentary so much as if I was sitting on the next seat. And for that all credit goes to your team.
The conversations are so easy, people share and bond very easily and despite all the discomforts of the coach and problems with their lives.
These days I mostly take flights and the whole trip ends without having a single conversation with a co passenger. I do miss those train journeys.
Did you study in NIT Trichy?
Picked this up after Borderlands. Must say I'm slowly falling in love with this team. The topics you pick are so meaningful, executed in a sheer heart warming style, and are eye openers to Indian society and its issues. Only if more people watched films like these and practiced thinking - we would have a much better and compassionate society. Keep growing! ❤
I thoroughly enjoyed this :) Thank you!!
ਬਹੁਤ ਸੋਹਣੀ ਡਾਕੂਮੈਂਟਰੀ। 💐👍 Good job man!

I'm Wondering....

2) Where is the #Trending mark on this video?
This channel and this video has sooooooo much of potential. Please continue the Hard Work.
We need such content.
A big Thank you, for this 1 hour of Reality-Check Documentary.
i am 29 and have been travelling in general compartment for all my life, sitting near gate alot of the time, cursing my situation and all.
I was so used to all this that i somehow had forgotten my own perspective about the troubles and feelings of others. Because of Whatever going in my life May be i was losing compassion.
this just reminded me why i wanted to be in civil services.
Thank you.
You successfully captured the very essence of India and the beautiful chaos it is! Thanks for sharing!
You are most welcome :)
Watched it on 29th May 2024. RUclips recommended me.
There are a lot of reality shows. TV tropes full of candidates and their backstories. Rarely, you see something which is authentic, beautiful and heartfelt. This idea was ambitious and the execution brilliant. Such things you see once a lifetime. Thank you very much for this experience.
We are happy that it pleased you :)
I just came here because it was on my recommendations. Sometimes RUclips do surprises us. Heart warming music and nice ease conversation. Sharing it with friends and family.
If you have ever travelled in a train in India you will connect with every moment of this. If you have not travelled in a train yet, it will kindle your urge to do so ! Excellent direction and loved the unobtrusive style of asking questions. Every conversation is insightful.
This Documentary bridges the Non communicated/Unspoken Gap between The People featured and Us.Only to remind and Humble Us that our struggles are Not greater than theirs. Emotionally Motivating and soulfully Humbling. Applauding Content that stirs up the much Needed Human empathy.
wonderful guys. so beautiful. hats off the best documentary I've ever watched.
Beautiful documentary. Thankyou so much to the team.
really no words to express... but this had changed my perspective totally. and I like this sentence" me apko ek minimum bat batana chahta hu"😂
NO DISLIKE TO THIS VIDEO. yOU COVERED THE REAL GEM OF OUR COUNTRY.
What a documentary. I mean…It's like never seen before. Every journey gives us some story but this journey gives us a lesson of understanding the people’s emotions/views & their life. The way team involved "Unreserved" people in their entire circular journey starting from one point of India by covering a full map of India is simply outstanding. Every fact was discussed in this journey & that’s the beauty of this documentary.
Take a bow to DOP of documentary for capturing a view throughout this journey. It’s not an easy task to handle camera in such crowdy place that too in smooth way. Kudos to Team. A must watch experience
Thank you sagar for your appreciation here ;)

Great documentary, I learned a lot about India and its people, thank you
What a great documentary. One of its kind. Humans of india! No matter whatever difficulties you face, request you to please carry this noble work you guys are doing. Ill share this as much as a i can.

Watch our new shortfilm here ;)

This movie mimicks the comments section of a social media post where assumingly aam aadmi views and stories like these are missing. Good job!
The best part?? Looking into the eyes of the person when he /she talks...that builds their trust in you...cz they feel you empathize with them...and Samarth's feeble but gentle voice in the backdrop :) Its not a film..its an experience!
This is the kind of work that you come across rarely, perhaps once in a lifetime. Congratulations, Camera n Shorts for creating the most Indian documentary ever! :) Humans of India! _/\_ :)
Thank you so much for your words :)

we can stay connected here.
What a wonderful documentary ! Can't remember the last time I felt so many emotions while watching something. A brilliant piece of art, which beautifully brings out the very soul and ethos of India, and leaves you with a different perspective on life. Great work !
We are pleased to know that you enjoyed the film :)
Watch our new film

Awaysome movie guys hats off to you guys ,I am very touched ,heart broken when I heard sad story of father of brain tumour girl,keep it up .And its happen only in India ,proud to be Indian.
This was one thing for which I was eagerly waiting since I read an article about your journey. Having never traveled in a general compartment, this movie came as both a surprise and a sense of realization to me. The fact that the stories were raw and untampered was the best part. Great job guys!
I am so happy for these guys who were so lucky to interview on the Ground level. Proud of you guys
Samad Anna, U should do one more like this, covering remaining parts of the country,exploring more social,cultural things.. I watched this last year.. Afterwards u hide this.. Every Sunday I check whether it's there online.. Finally I found it..Especially during this critical time when migrant labour are struggling every moment..
Loads of love❤😘
To start an hour long Documentary is something I do with precaution, but in-case of Camera and Shorts I already knew this is gonna be awesome
This gives us some more motivation in life :) Thank you.
Its very difficult to make 'non' actors act*...and make them speak so frankly ...and that too in an atmosphere where we just want to escape.....well done guys...I can't just imagine the efforts you guys would have went through, 'apart' from filming this story. Kudos !
PS: *: I didn't find the exact word. ;-p
They are not acting. It's a documentary.
They are people who were travelling in the train then.... Thanks for the appreciation though :D
How tiny my problems are?
I am speechless after watching this documentary. Thank you guys for such a wonderful experience
God bless you and encourage you for such work
Man, oh Man! What a movie you guys have made. It's brilliant. Hope I will travel in India like this someday...
Thoroughly enjoyed it ! So beautiful ! ❤️
Watching this while on a train. I've seen all of this throughout my childhood and this brings back so many memories. From the first time I saw the transgenders and wondered who are they as a child to meeting people with all kinds of experiences it's all coming back. This also portrayed what diversity our country homes. This is just amazing!
Let's give a moment to appreciate the one who transcribed everything without making it offensive and without even changing the meaning
Indian trains carry dreams. The travel of masses. Beautiful
I am aslo a cinema student, I have watched many documentaries and movies, but this has given a mesmerizing feeling throughout an hour. Thankyou so much for creating this masterpiece.
Luv this film,seems like that we have seen all the india
Have witnessed something special. I feel like my consciousness about the daily problems of mine are diminished. Thanks to the whole team for their effort.
Made me realize that what makes us each human isn't that different at all. We all have the same anxiety, fear, aspirations, hope and love for something in life. A "window seat" into the human psyche. Loved your work.
Indian railways... best place to understand diversity, emotions, talents etc of India. Some of the best lessons of life can be learnt while journey made with Indian Railways.
Very good documentary! Since my college days in 2016, I used to travel alot in unreserved and i felt really connected. It's like I'm there and listening them. My every journey was used to be like this only, there was always some new story, new people hustling and fighting in their own life sharing the same coach & same destination.
hi.. i never travelled in general dabba.. but while watching i feel like im in unresvered compartment
. thats the beauty of this movie.. very nicely recorded.. keep it up.
Gazab yaar behtareen I m seeing this on General Bogie but now it is RESERVED
Heart warming stories narrated by common people who travel the unreserved coaches on trains that connect the nation together. Stories that ring true. Stories that tug at your heart strings. Conversations that bring back the joy of travelling and connecting deeply with another human for a fleeting moment. The passing scenery of hills and tunnels and rivers and fields and the song of the train and the voices of the hawkers and beggars make this a compelling audio visual experience that can only be matched by actually being there. . Kudos for a masterfully executed project.
Thanks a lot for these beautiful words :) We are happy that you enjoyed it.
This is first class work. Every time I travel in Indian Railways, I observe characters and may be write some notes and stories. But many a time I wanted to record those conversations I had with my co-passengers on camera. You guys went ahead and did it! You can probably do another cut of a bigger length and go for a theatrical release. I am willing to pay thousand bucks for this!
Thanks a lot :)
YRR YEH KITNA BADHIYA DOCUMENTARY HAI..... BHAISAHAB, IT BROUGHT A SMILE ONTO MY FACE AT THE END... ❤❤💖💖
I traveled a lot without ticket in train while giving competitive exam...
Whole night I stand on legs slept on floor and best experience was in sampoorna kranrti express...
When train arrived all rukus was at gate
GOOD WORK GUYS....
ITS MIRROR OF INTREST'S of PEOPLE & PEOPLE THEMSELVES...
THE BEGINNING N END OF CONVERSATIONS IS THE POINT THAT CHANGED THIS DOCUMENTARY WORK...
Non judgmental and Kind effort to know "Bharat" in its raw form! Great piece of art. Congratulations!💐
amazing work....
you have brought the innocent soul of India on the screen...kudos.
Thanks to Chalchitra Talks for recommending this documentary, this is amazing and honestly deserves a lot more views!
thank you for providing me such overwhelming roller-coaster of feelings via this film, thank you for making my brothers and sisters talk their heart out so easily in front of your camera, you all guys must have taken tremendous efforts and risk for making this film. "when I don't know what to hope for..but come back with an exhaustion, saturation and vivid memories out of which only time decides which of them have touched my soul... is travelling to me; to learn, to grow, to experience is to travel"..personally I re-lived past memories that even I didn't know existed. thank you so much for sharing your travel experience with me. ALL THE BEST YOU GUYS!
Thanks for sharing us with all the different but equally beautiful and captivating conversations and helping us to look through the open windows of the UNRESERVED compartment into the lives of all these people. Especially, the subtle conversation with the Kashmiri guy helped us to understand that they are worried about the same basic problems of life as we are and they are no different than people of the mainland India. It was well-shot and edited and obviously, that Indian Ocean track was the icing on the cake. Thanks again!
Thanks for you reviews on 'The Unreserved'
facebook.com/CameraShorts/
we can stay in touch here for amazing upcoming shots :)
Every story has its own beauty,it depicts the fact that everyone is suffering from something,no one is perfect in this world.
Awesome documentary, thanks to Neeraj Gaywan for letting us know about this documentary on Twitter!
You will find amazing people in passenger trains who will keep you entertain for free. I miss the old days of my frequent train rides from my hometown to New Delhi in 2012-13. The joy of getting a window seat and eating cheap snacks in train and listen to people debating on politics, cricket and local news events was memorable!
If you traveled unreserved in passenger trains how was your experience? please share
Transformation in society emanates from the convergence of disruptive technologies. Such technologies have the power to overturn age-old practices and the power structure of society. The Digital cameras, the internet, the mobile phones, and social media, which have their own distinct development history have come close to threaten the dominance of the Indian cinema industry. This documentary is one such rare example! A novel attempt, to the best of my youtube searching capabilities.
Not to forget, we should also appreciate those who have the courage and conviction to apply such disruptive technologies to unconventional areas.
Everyone here are giving so amazing reviews 💜 just love you guys 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I was smiling the whole time while watching this. What a perfectly shot movie. BRILLIANT STUFF!!
Simple, Perfect and Heart warming :)
Thank you for making this! I hope more people get to view this.
Today was feeling depressed but enjoyed it, hope it to be more long video
I’m so overwhelmed after watching this. One of the best documentaries seen on any platforms. The camera man and interviewer deserves a kudos. Keep showing such beautiful depiction of real India. Every except has a perspective. Loved it.
this is beautiful documentary the real Indian railways.
So much to say..
1. To the team, for the sheer courage to take up the momentous task
2. I've been there. There's quite literally no space for personal things. People talk about their lives openly. Bt How'd you even get them to open up, so much? Kudos to your skill.
3. Looking forward to BTS content 🙂🌟
This was soo awesome guys. I wish more people would see this rather then the crap we are shown on TV.
Loved it. Changed my perspective of life. Great initiative to cover all the places of indian ❤
I analyzed the dowry system of India and realized the girl who is against dowry today one day when she is a mother she herself expects some dowry from her daughter in law family- Solution - Make your daughter so educated talented hardworking so that she can fund her own marriage.
Remembering those days...lot of stories are there...missing my journey in general compartment...the people, the noice, the smell everything can feel after seeing this movie...thanks team
When traveling in train, I remember me and my mother sitting on the railway station and observing people. The people on the railways are ridiculously different and similar in a manner. They are too interesting to watch.
I usually hate traveling in trains but I enjoyed this comfortable journey. I wish to meet the creators and praise them for the work. I can't imagine how tough would it be filming this. Hats off!
Very nice movie, takes one near to reality.
Really happy to see the ground reality of our country, knowing all these underprivileged society citizens perspective about life which i was not aware of.
Great Work Team! 😇
