A young man from the city journeys to his first teaching post, the small hamlet of Bangarwadi deep in the jungle. After the initial shock of his strange new world wears off he learns to appreciate life in the village and stops longing for home.
Chronicling the experiences of a rookie schoolteacher as he struggles with reluctant students and parents, Bangarwadi sheds a light on 1940s India struggling with agrarian crises and a flailing education system. Amol Palekar delivers a poignant adaptation of Vyankatesh Madgulkar’s eponymous novel.
