Ila and Aniruddha set out from home with a guilt-ridden conscience that they may have been responsible for the sparrow’s disappearance. Their innocence and curiosity takes them on a trail of learning and discovery as they arrive at unusual places and meet unusual people. Everyone they meet says that sparrows are around but are they really there? Unable to sight a single elusive sparrow, the children’s anxiety keeps growing.

Do they find the sparrow? The once ubiquitous sparrow is now almost an extinct species. Gubbachigalu brings into sharp relief the realities of a dwindling biodiversity in our urban life.
