Victor Banerjee plays Rahul Negi who comes back to his village in Uttarakhand from London after 40 years to walk down memories lanes before he goes blind; but his arrival opens up a can of worms from the past – and gradually, issues of gender and caste begin to play out as they did 40 years ago, which had led to his departure.

DEV BHOOMI - THE LAND OF THE GODS (2016) is a disturbing, and a visually stunning film with a leisured, yet assured pace, co-written by Banerjee along with the director – and here comes the interesting part: the director is a Serbian, Goran Paskalevic (1947-2020), considered amongst the most distinguished filmmakers of the world. His deft handling of the subject along with Victor Banerjee’s magnetic screen presence make it a worthwhile watch.
