+The Raja Saheb, played by the noted Oriya
+actor Pujari, embarks on a hunting expedition
+in cannibal country accompanied by an
+anglophile businessman (Gokhale), his
+hysterical wife (Parihar), an Army Major (Singh)
+and his English wife (Kapoor). The two males
+are attracted to each other’s wives. The only
+outsider to the culture of feudal-upper class
+hedonism is the Raja’s adopted tribal son, who
+represents the land that the cultural elite set out
+to conquer and who is regarded by them
+variously as a wild sex-object, hunter and slave.
+The hysterical wife seduces and then claims to
+have been raped by the tribal, who is chained
+and tortured. An orgiastic feast follows as the
+group eat what they imagine to be the wild
+boar shot during the hunt. They discover the
+next day that the meat was the tribal’s body.
+This discovery is left deliberately ambiguous
+(unlike in the novel), allowing for several
+interpretations. The film is noted mainly for
+Bir’s stunning camerawork, enhancing the
+elements of fable and allegory.
