Reviews Overviews
Mohan Das - A Man Lost In His Own Nation movie is based on the character Meghna Sengupta who is currently working as a news correspondent in a news channel in New Delhi.
The story of the movie takes a trun when one day she receives a video tape from an unidentified man from Madhya Pradesh, Anuppur claiming that he is the actual Mohandas and somebody else has stolen his identity and has started living as him.
Meghna was urged by the story very much and in hopes of covering a local town scam, she decides to pay a visit to the village of Anuppur. She soon come to know that Mohandas is a topper in his academics and belongs to the poor community of basket weavers. He soon makes it to the white-collar post in Oriental Coal Mines and thus was joyed with the same. But he kept waiting to get the job and some time later he discovers that comebody else is working on his job and also has stolen his identity.
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.
