Around a campfire an old man tells stories about the dark age, Kalyug. Villagers listen engrossed to tales of the tragic princess Zahama, the mighty plague of demons and the heroic healer who came to save them. In this breathtaking debut from director Juri Mazumdar, folklore and legend are brought through to the modern day, as old tales from the indigenous Bhil are interwoven with situations faced by their people now. The first settlers on the plains of western Central India, the Bhil today find themselves crossing between their old world and modern India. Through the telling of stories from their past in mythic principles, were taken into modern-day poverty, AIDS, loss and guilt. Through the ghosts and legends of this beautiful land, we gain a sense of the peoples dignity, hopes and challenges, and the reflections between a mythic past and present.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
