Deepti Kakkar and Fahad Mustafa's documentary Katiyabaaz has been garnering a lot of appreciation and critical acclaim.

Some of them being the Melbourne International Festival, International Documentary Film Festival, Amsterdam and Viennale Film Festival.

The documentary has also won awards which include Best Film, India Gold, MAMI, 2013 and Best Investigative Film - 61st National Award. Katiyabaaz showcases the electricity scenario in Kanpur. Kanpur faces a lot of electrical cuts and the documentary talks about electricity theft by people who cannot afford electricity.
