The short film Biscut, which recently released on YouTube is catching the attention of people, especially during the state election season of UP as it talks about caste oppression and politics.
The film revolves around 'Bhura', a backward class youth who uses an ordinary ‘Biscut’ to take revenge on his upper-caste boss in a mysterious but thrilling manner. The film features veteran actor Chittaranjan Tripathy of Sacred Games fame. He plays the role of the village's domineering sarpanch 'Navratan Singh' while the Dalit 'Bhura' is played by Amarjeet Singh, who was last seen in the web series Mirzapur and Paatal Lok. It also stars Chetan Sharma, who is known for films like Ankhon Dekhi and Pagglait, as the biscuit baker 'Sattan'.
The film offers a promising, gritty and inspiring story that shows the mysterious ways our democracy works and how the votes can still be the best bet for revenge and change. The film sheds light on politics and how the stiff competition among the political parties for the valuable votes of the oppressed and backward sections during elections makes them lure them by promises and cheap freebies, only to be forgotten later, after the elections.
