Panchlait (2017)

Panchlait is a film set in either the 1950s or 1960s that tells the story of a small village in North India that still lacks electricity and is engrossed in its own small sorrows and joys. Godhan, a member of the village's Mahato Tola, is expelled from the community after refusing to pay any portion of his inheritance to the community and being wrongly accused by Munri's mother of singing improper Hindi songs for Munri. The sarpanch discovers that no one from the tola knows how to light the petromax except Godhan on the day the tola plans to celebrate by bringing in their own panchlight. Putting his ego aside, the Sarpanch cancels Godhan's punishment and sends a message for him, who eventually becomes a member of the tola and also makes the village be lit up, making him the hero in everyone's eyes.
