Story: This is biopic of Dashrath Manjhi, India's mountain man who single-handedly made a road through the mountains of Gehlaur. What gave him the strength to take on this onerous task is his deep love for his wife who meets with an accident here.
Review: The film starts with a monologue between a man, Dashrath(Nawazuddin) and a mountain. Wearing blood-soaked clothes, the diminutive hero admonishes the mountains,(captured beautifully by cinematographer Rajeev Jain) that stretch endlessly before your eyes, saying, ``So you think you are too big? Well I'm not stopping till I reduce you to rubble.''

The emotion in Nawaz's quivering voice as he challenges nature sends a chill down your spine. Further, what piques your curiosity is how this David will attack Goliath.
Of course for those who are familiar with the story of Dashrath Manjhi, there are few surprises. This villager from Gehlaur attacked a mountain for over two decades and emerged victorious when he managed to build a path right through.
The story starts in Wazir Ganj in the 50s, where a young Dashrath is married to a child-bride Phagunia. Born in abject poverty, Dashrath's family eats dead rats to survive.
