+With this ecological drama, Assam’s leading
+director Jahnu Barua continues exploring the
+conflict between corrupt state politics and a
+determined individual (cf. Halodiya Choraye
+Baodhan Khaye, 1987). The forest ranger
+(Goswami) confronts illegal timber merchants
+and contractors on behalf of impoverished
+tribals. The honest ranger’s activities get him
+into trouble and he is constantly transferred
+from one post to another, to the annoyance of
+his wife who wants him to settle down and
+look after their ailing child. Eventually she
+supports her husband’s fight and the tribals
+realise they need weapons to defend
+themselves against rapacious outsiders. The
+film’s simple plot is interrupted by long 
+didactic speeches.
