Damul

Hindi · 1985 · 106 min

Directed by Prakash JhaAnnu Kapoor

Set in a Bihar village in 1984, this drama follows a laborer trapped in debt servitude to a landlord, who coerces him into committing theft on his behalf. Through his plight, the film examines entrenched caste hierarchies and the exploitation faced by lower-caste communities under systems of forced labor. It also touches on the broader trend of impoverished Bihari villagers leaving home to seek work in more prosperous states like Punjab.
