The story
In confrontational conversations with his wife and his lover, a middle-aged Indian policeman opens up about his work as a ‘sacrificial assistant’, a state-designated agent tasked with extra-judicial killings of Muslim men. Elsewhere in the city, Lord Krishna and the prince Arjuna enact a dialogue from the Bhagavad Gita. Paralysed into inaction during battle by human considerations, Arjuna seeks the counsel of Krishna, who instructs him on the moral duty of a warrior.
Directed by Ashish Avikunthak. Starring Mainak Dasgupta, Sagnik Mukherjee, Prasenjit Bardhan, Debleena Sen, Sanghamitra Deb, Sanghamitra Das.
