Synopsis : The feature film is a biographical account of the great legendary tribal freedom fighter, Bhagwan Birsa Munda. It details the Munda Rebellion (Ulgulan, meaning "Great Tumult" or "The Great Commotion") which took place in the late 19th century in the Chotanagpur plateau region. The film, a result of 10 years of in-depth research and shot in the actual locations associated with Birsa Munda's life, highlights the tribal fight against British colonial rule, landlords (dikus), and forceful conversions, to protect their traditional land rights, culture, and establish self-rule (Munda Raj).
