Oriental Coal Mines in Anuppur, Madhya Pradesh, is a strange place where Mohan Das applied for a job there and was selected. Then things started going seriously wrong. One day Meghna Sengupta, a correspondent working at a news channel in New Delhi, receives a videotape from remote Anuppur. On the tape there is a battered man claiming to be Mohan Das and alleging that someone else has stolen his identity. Intrigued by the strange tape, Meghna decides to investigate. What she unearths is a harrowing and surreal tale. And as it unravels, we see the tapestry of contemporary Indian society unfold with all its bizarre ills and contradictions. Mohandas is based on the eponymous novel by Uday Prakash.
