See the most agreed on films →In a small Indian village, a poor farmer named Natha is about to lose his land due to debt. In a desperate attempt for a government aid program, his brother suggests he commit suicide, as the family would then receive compensation. A journalist overhears this plan and reports on it, triggering a massive media frenzy. Politicians, reporters, and activists descend upon the village, turning Natha's personal tragedy into a national spectacle, while the farmer himself becomes a pawn in a larger game.
