In India’s spiritual heartlands, faith fuels not just devotion, but survival. The Divine Hustle follows three performers — nine-year-old Khushi, legless Gopal, and 27-year-old Abhishek — who survive by embodying Hindu gods in crowded temples and streets.
As they navigate poverty, performance, and power, the film reveals the business behind belief, and how blind faith feeds both hope and exploitation.
