India grapples with the profound repercussions of its infrastructure failures following a series of devastating incidents — frequent bridge collapses, train accidents, and the crumbling of metro and airport pillars.

These tragic events not only highlight glaring flaws in the country's infrastructure but also underscore the urgent need for comprehensive reforms and investments in maintenance and safety.

In such situations, what happens to an 'Aam Aadmi', and an 'Aam Aurat' in India?

'Main Ek Aam Aadmi Aur Ek Aam Aurat Hoon...'

Main Ek Aam Aadmi

Aur Ek Aam Aurat Hoon...

Sarhad Par Bina Gaye Hi

Sar Par Kafan Baandh Rakha Hai...

Kab Kisi Airport Ki Chhatt

Mere Upar Gir Jaye

Aur Main Shaheed Ho Jaun...

Kab Metro Station Ki Railing

Mere Sar Par Gire,

Aur Main Mar Kar

Desh-hit Mein Jansankhya Kam Kar Jau...

Aur Haan...

Main 17 Logo Ki Wo Bheed Bhi Hoon

Jo Mumbai Mein Kisi Prachar Ke

Hoarding Board Ke Neeche

Aa Pahuchta Hoon,

Aur Mar Kar Bechari Companies Ko

Badnaam Kar Jaata Hoon...

Kabhi Train Ki Seat

Mere Upar Gir Jaati Hai...

Kabhi Train Or Meri Zindagi

Ki Patri Ukhad Jaati Hai...

Aap Bhool Gaye Honge...

2 June 2023 Ka Vo Din Tha,

Jagah- Odisha Ka Balasore Tha...

Teen Trains Ke Dabbe Aapas Mein Takraye The,

Mere Sath 296 Log

Bhagwan Ko Pyaare Ho Gaye The...

Main Ek Mazdoor Bhi Hoon...

Jo Bihar Ke Supaul Mein

Kosi Nadi Par Ban Rahe

Pull Par Kaam Kar Raha Tha...

Pull Ka Hissa Toot Gaya

Aur Meri Zindagi Ki Dor Chhoot Gayi...

Sarkari Files Mein

Sankhya Yaani Number Hoon Main...

Media Ki Kahani Ka

Ek Character Hoon Main...

Chai Ki Tapri Par

Baithe Logon Ke Liye

'Aah, Itne Log Mar Gaye?'

Wala Gumnaam Hoon Main...

Sarkari Jaanch Mein

Kuch Na Milne Wali Report Hoon Main...

Rajneetik Dalo Ke Liye Satta

Aur Tu-Tu, Main-Main Ka Samaan Hoon...

Kamaal Dekhiye,

Har Maut Ek Jaisi Nahi Hoti...

Metro Ki Galti Se Maro, 25 Lakh.

Train Accident Mein Maro,

Toh 12 Lakh...

Pull Girne Se Maro, Toh 10 Lakh...

Main Ek Aam Aadmi Hoon...

Wohi Jo Akela Mare Tab Mamooli Baat,

100 Marein Toh 5 Din Tak Ki Yaad,

1000 Marein Toh Itihaas Ki Kitaab...

Haan, Ek Aam Aadmi Hoon Main...

Haan, Ek Aam Aurat Hoon Main...

Sarkar Ke Liye

Bas Ek Number Hoon...
