Mohalla Assi is not new to the Indian cinegoer's psyche. This film has made appearances on and gone off the Bolly-lovers' radar since March 2011, the time when the team began shooting for the film. Mohalla Assi was supposed to have released sometime during the second half of 2011, something that still hasn't happened, thanks to some post-production glitches and other content-related problems. This satire on the current Varanasi is directed by Dr Chandra Prakash Dwivedi and loosely based on Dr Kashinath Singh's novel Kashi Ka Assi. It attempts to portray on film all that goes on in this 'mohalla' in south Varanasi, the locality near the famous Assi Ghat.

The word 'assi' in the title refers to the Assi stream, one of two (along with Varuna) that came together to give the city its name. In an interview to The Hindu in mid-2013, Dr Singh spoke about how life changed at the city's Assi ghat especially post the liberalisation of the Indian economy in 1991. A slow trickle of foreigners, mainly those studying at the Benares Hindu University (BHU), suddenly turned into a steady stream and changed life in the neighbourhood forever. "For Rs 500, they were provided food, laundry and housing facilities. In return, the foreigners would often pay for their hosts' children's education as well. A bond emerged," he was quoted as saying, adding that this cultural exchange led to a noticeable change in the lifestyles of their hosts' families as the "women started wearing maxis and the children jeans".

The year is 1988 and through the decade, it traces some very tumultuous years in Indian political history. From the Mandal Commission and the student protests that raged across the country, to whipping up passions for the Ram janam bhoomi and the eventual Babri Masjid demolition.

While there have been no discerning changes on the banks of the river or "Pappu Ki Dukaan", a restaurant where politics is discussed with the same passion and gusto as in New Delhi, it is the evolving attitude of its people that churns the narrative.

The book that released in 2004, covers many of the political bigwigs trying to hog centerstage, and, so, there are not just passing suggestions but out-and-out references to the Mandal Commission, the Babri Masjid demolition and the 8th PM of India Chandra Shekhar, to name a few.
