1876 Story :

The year is 1876; set against the backdrop of British rule in Calcutta, a group of pioneering theatre enthusiasts form the 'National Theatre Company'. Their debut production, 'Nil Darpan', sheds light on the plight of indigo farmers exploited by British plantations. As their performance captivates audiences and sparks conversations, they inadvertently become catalysts for change. Facing relentless scrutiny and government suppression, the theatre group's courageous stand culminates in a historic trial, resulting in 'Neel Darpan' becoming the first play to be banned in India. However, their legacy ignites the flames of the Indigo Revolution, inspiring a nation to rise against oppression. In this riveting tale of resilience and rebellion, the power of art transcends censorship, leaving an indelible mark on India's cultural and political landscape.
