In Which Annie Gives It Those Ones is the screenplay of the 1989 film directed by Pradip Krishen and written by Arundhati Roy. The film was broadcast only once on national television in a late-night slot, but it continued to live on as a kind of underground cult film, frequently screened by students on campuses across the country. Set in a not-so-fictional school of architecture in the year 1974, the story follows a group of dope-smoking, bellbottom-wearing, vaguely idealistic final-year students as they approach the stressful period of submitting their theses. After thirty-eight years, the damaged negative of the film was recovered and carefully restored by the Film Heritage Foundation. This new edition of the screenplay also includes introductions by Arundhati Roy, Pradip Krishen, and Shivendra Singh Dungarpur, the founder of the Film Heritage Foundation.
