Engineer Vishnu Sharma shifts to Delhi where he has got a job, and is treated with the worst form of contempt just because he is a native of Bihar. Frustrated, he returns home in a huff and decides not to confide even in his parents.
Impatto Films' feature film 'Biharism' depicts the issue of discrimination against Biharis in different states and metros of the country. Protagonist Vishnu eventually chooses to fight back when his sister too is subjected to the same ignominy.
"The movies will establish a quick connect with every such Bihari, and there are scores of them, who has faced tough times outside the state and was humiliated in one or another manner," said Jai Singh Rathore, the lead actor in the movie, while addressing a press meet here on Thursday. The anti-Biharism leaves such a strong impact on the psyche of the protagonist that he starts believing that his country does not want him in.
Written and directed by Rajesh Udhwani, a Rajasthan native and Rathore's college mate in Delhi, the movie "seeks to portray the problem without diluting the truth". "We are not branding Biharis as the ones with golden hearts, but we have attempted to show that Biharis are not even what others believe and, at the end of the day, they are also Indians like other Indians," said Rathore.
The movie cast includes 22 artistes and almost all of them belong to Bihar. Vishnu's love interest, Jyoti, is played by Bihari girl Shreya Vinod and his sister Parul is played by Shanti Priya, a professional theatre actor from Kalidas Rangalay in Patna. Jobless Vishnu is offered a lucrative job in Delhi by his friend Deepu. Deepu is played by Yuvraj Kumar.
Other actors include Pranav Kumar, Mrigank and Barun Sharma, all from Patna. Though the 85-minute was canned after shoots in Patna and Delhi for 25 days, it took three months to complete it. The film's DVDs will be releasing internationally on July 7. However, it won't hit the big screens due to financial constraints. "We cannot afford to release it on big screen as every penny invested in making of the film was either our pocket money or salary," said Rathore, who was into making documentary and short movies before conceptualizing ?Biharism'. The film has been given ?A' certification from the censor board.
The music of the movie, produced by Jairaj Alani, has been composed by Saurabh Verma and Dhanesh Raj and edited by Sanjeev Sharma.
