In Which Annie Gives It Those Ones, is the screenplay of the 1989 film directed by Pradip Krishen. It was written by Arundhati Roy. The film was shown just once on national television in a late-night slot. It lived on as a sort of underground cult film, screened by students in campuses across the country. Set in a not-so-fictional school of architecture in the year 1974, it is the story of dope-smoking, bellbottom-wearing, vaguely idealistic final-year students in the run up to the submission of their theses. After thirty-eight years, the damaged negative of the film was recovered and restored by the Film Heritage Foundation. This new edition of the screenplay has introductions by Arundhati Roy, Pradip Krishen and Shivendra Singh Dungarpur, founder of the Film Heritage Foundation.
