The film centres on Manohar (Mithun Chakravarty), a revered Chhou (a form of tribal dance) performer from Bengals Purulia region. His art supersedes his feelings for a young girl, Maloti (Moumita Gupta). When Manohar is away on a dance tour, Maloti is forced into marriage with Shib (Shankar Chakravarty). She gives birth to Felai, a physically handicapped child. In the entertainment world, the more melodramatic dance form of Jatra is replacing Chhou and both are endangered by the lure of cinema. Ashamed of his handicapped son, Shib tries to kill him. The boy is saved by Manohar, who raises him and, in doing so, picks up the pieces of his life. Manohars backing helps Felai (Kayyum Ali) respond to Chhou rhythms. As he grows into manhood, can Felai recover from his infirmity and restore Chhou in all its splendour?


Making his debut as a director, noted choreographer Remo turns to Bengals landscape, lifestyle and language in a film that extols the vibrancy of Chhou. His innate love for the music of the common people is much in evidence. Uma da Cunha.

Over a hundred years, we witnessed how newer experiments with performing arts gave way to successes like cinema and theatre and gradually eclipsed popular folk art forms that have survived many centuries; but for new-found interest in these art forms and the patronage of governments and others who can and may, these arts would've gone extinct, we may like to think. As we discuss the cultural full circle, so easily we are prone to forget those who have kept that art alive. The fact underlying the revival is survival. How they survive and sustain their arts, their interest, in the remotest, tiniest, poorest patches in our geographies is also the story of how tradition is carried and inherited.

Chhou, which has been an enriched dance form for many centuries, practiced by the tribes of Purulia (West Bengal), Mayurbhanj (Orissa) and Saraikela (Bihar) faced a near extinction. Today there is an effort of revival happening, and our film is dedicated to the unsung heroes of this gorgeous vibrant performing art.
