The film is based on the true story of Dashrath Manjhi, a poor laborer from the village of Gehlaur in Bihar. The narrative is set in motion by a tragedy that feels almost mythological in its cruelty. When Dashrath’s wife, Phaguniya, dies after falling from a treacherous mountain pass because she could not reach a doctor in time, Dashrath does not succumb to despair. Instead, he channels his grief into a singular, obsessive purpose: to carve a road through the mountain that took his wife’s life.
