Peddlers is a 2012 Indian Hindi crime thriller film written and directed by Vasan Bala. The film features Gulshan Devaiah, Nishikant Kamat, Kriti Malhotra (of Dhobi Ghat fame), Nimrat Kaur and Siddharth Menon in the lead roles. The film was screened as part of 2012 International Critics' Week, an independent film event which runs parallel to the Cannes Film Festival in southern France.
Film's producer, Guneet Monga raised nearly ₹1 crore (US$160,000), half of film's budget of ₹2 crore (US$310,000) by posting the film's script on Facebook.
The film is set in Mumbai, and revolves around 20-year-old destitute boys who get trapped in the drug trade and a young cop, who tracks them.
Critical response to Peddlers at Cannes was generally muted, though director Vasan Bala was deemed by several critics to have shown promise in his debut effort.
