Wikipedia article
'Bhulan the Maze' is an Indian Chhattisgarhi language drama film written and directed by Manoj Verma and produced by Swapnil Film Productions. The film is based on Sanjeev Bakshi's noval 'Bhulan Kanda'. The film stars Omkar Das Manikpuri, Rajendra Gupta, Mukesh Tiwari, Ashok Mishra and Anima Pagare. It focuses on social justice in the Bhujiya community, a tribal community indigenous to Chhattisgarh state.
The movie describes how an accidental death is projected as murder, and how a poor old man is convinced by the villagers to accept the charge of murder, to save another simple and straight man. The village head had an option to hide the event, as the dead man had no family or relatives and no police station was nearby. Later the villagers are sent to jail for mishandling the truth. The villagers were brought to the city for imprisonment and find the city dwellers under the effect of Bhulan. The film explores the difficulties of rural life under the law.
Plot
The story presents Bhakla and Birju, who are residents of Mahuabhata. They fight over land. Accidentally Birju dies after falling on a plough. Bhakla has a family so the villagers are not inclined to send him to jail. Instead they request that Ganjha, a lonely old man from the same village, confess to the murder. Ganjha gets life imprisonment. In the jail the jailor observes Ganjhas noble behaviour that lead him to believe that he cant be a murderer. The jailor appealed to the high court and the truth is revealed. Ganjha is released, and the villagers are sent to jail for hiding the truth. On their way to jail they realise that the people from the big cities are under the influence of the plant bhulan, and they are amazed that these people are not awake. Bhakla had a habit of saying hao (yes) before every sentence. When he is presented before the court the prosecutor proves Bhakla guilty of misusing his habit of saying hao. Bhakla gets the death penalty. He is later acquitted.
