This book attempts to document the first Chhattisgarhi film 'Kahi debe Sandes' (Convey the message) that was made back in 1965 and all the important events around it. It also brings to light its filmmaker and his journey to become the maiden filmmaker from a region like Chhattisgarh (then Madhya Pradesh) around a time when the dialect was not known outside of the region and the film industry was dominated by Hindi. This book also aims to introduce its reader to the rich history of regional culture, language, and art. It also comments on the history of regional cinema and how Bollywood has inspired it in its early stages. The theme of the film was very progressive for its time as it addressed social issues such as Untouchability and Caste Discrimination, which were prevalent in that region then.
