Meghna Sengupta, a correspondent working at a news channel in New Delhi, one day
receives a videotape from a remote place in Madhya Pradesh, Anuppur. On the tape, a
battered young man claims to be the real Mohandas and alleges that someone else
has stolen his identity. Someone else is living as 'Mohandas'. Intrigued by what looks
like an unusual small-town scam, Meghna makes a trip to Anuppur. There, she unearths
a more harrowing and surreal story. Mohandas is a topper in studies from the poor
community of basket-weavers and is overjoyed at long last when he is selected for a
good white-collar post in Oriental Coal Mines. But he is kept waiting and waiting to
actually get the job. Long afterwards, when he has given up and reconciled to it, he
learns that someone else has assumed his name and has already taken his job! When
he rushes to protest, he is beaten up and thrown out.
Meghna places this story in the media. Harshvardhan, a lawyer from the district, takes
this case of stolen identity to court with the intention of hauling up the usurper. With
more bizarre results. Irony and satire run as undercurrents as the film plumbs the
absurd levels to which democratic institutions can be manipulated today. It is also an
allegory of how a fake identity displaces the real one in contemporary times. You are
bound to realize how true this actually is. All set to hit the theatres on coming August
14th, 2009. |  |
