Nearly half a century later, in a remote part of India, there is a small village called Gehlaur. For generations, Gehlaur had been the centre of the silk trade. And life was good there, peaceful and full of hope. Then one day, Dashrath Manjhi showed up. He was an extraordinary man: tough, but kind-hearted and a skilled weaver. Determined to carve a path through the mountain, he set out to do the impossible. And he did. In a span of just a few years, a 360-foot-long, 25-foot-deep, 30-foot-wide path through the rock was carved.
The scenario is not new. The movie is based on the true life story of Dashrath Manjhi, who was a man of courage and extraordinary will power. The movie is directed by Rakesh Seth and produced by S.S. Chakravarty. It stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui as Dashrath Manjhi, Radhika Apte as Phaguniya Devi, Radhika Madan as Manjhi's mother, and Ashutosh Rana as the village's headman.
However, he did not stop there. A few years later, desperate to get the village accessible, he decided to build a road through the mountain. He organised a massive campaign to gather support from the Government. There was resistance from the local authorities, but Dashrath went to court against them. He insisted that he had the right to build a road through the mountain, because the land belonged to the people of the village, and he had a right to use it.
After Phaguniya gave birth to a daughter, Manjhi left her at the hospital in Wazirganj and returned to the village. On 15 October 1972, the villagers attempted to pull the cart with the child in it off the mountain, but it fell off and Phaguniya was killed on the spot. Manjhi was said to have consumed alcohol before he started cutting the mountain and then to have broken down after the death of his wife.
Manjhi started to build a road through the ridge to connect his village to Wazirganj, which was only 6 km away. Initially, he was ridiculed, but his persistence paid off: in the 1960s, his road was finished. He was an illiterate man, but after he finished the road, people thought he was a lunatic.
Manjhi's road is shown in the film. He used a crowbar, a chisel, a pickaxe, a sledgehammer, an axe, and a great amount of his own physical strength, and once he reached a critical point, he used a circular saw. He worked for around twenty-two years, stopping only when he was aged around eighty. Some estimate he died at the age of seventy-four.[7]
The movie poster for the Hindi version of 2013 has Manjhi walking holding a hammer and chisel on his shoulder and in his right hand is held a sickle. There is also a vernacular poster similar to the one in the Deshdrohi songs. In 2011, when the film was shot in Gehlaur, it was a village in trouble: many farmlands, basements and other places were unauthorisedly encroached upon; the whole village was in a state of darkness and a local gang was responsible for violence. Since then, there have been several rehabilitation projects in progress. 827ec27edc
