Part of legendary Indian filmmaker Mrinal Sen Centennial and Retrospective!

Based on esteemed Odia author Kalindi Charan Panigrahi’s classic text, this is Sen’s first film outside Bengal. The film explores the clash between traditional and modern values through the contrasting perspectives of two brothers regarding their inherited land. One brother embodies traditional values, while the other represents modernity. Their differing attitudes towards the land serve as a lens through which the broader theme of cultural evolution and societal change is examined.
