As Gupi becomes entangled in Bikram's dangerous world, he must rise to the occasion to protect the officer's legacy and save the terrorised townspeople. Cast & Crew
In contrast, Baa (2021), directed by Rima Das, is a slow-burn social drama. Set in a rural Assamese village, it follows a young boy, Baa, who becomes a pawn in local elections when his father and other adults use him to distribute money and liquor to voters. The film has no heroics; instead, it uses naturalistic visuals, non-professional actors, and a minimalist script to expose the absurdities of village democracy. Where Bikram Singha relies on spectacle, Baa relies on observation.
