Plotlines where goons flash arms in broad daylight and where trigger-happy mobs take control of the streets are a craze among today’s web series-bingeing audiences. These stories present a parallel universe. Set against this backdrop, the prevalent gun culture in India is put under the spotlight in Point Blank, a documentary by writer-director, Naman Saraiya. Set in North India, it explores the diverse gun-owning demographic, its ownership and legal issues, he adds.
