Nirbachana English: Election ) is a 1994 Indian Oriya drama film directed by Biplab Ray Chaudhuri.
A young man is happy to hear the news that the local candidate would offer money for electing him.
The story is told through the struggles of several poor villagers of the Indian state of Orissa, each of whom have one of two choices: either working the soil for a wealthy landowner, or "dynamiting" the hills in one of the new quarries—a portrayal of how low humanity can descend when penury and desperation chip away at the social veneer.
The quarry work is lucrative but destructive to the local environment and to the health of the people forced to breathe in rock dust.
Unfortunately, it is a struggle to keep the dying fellow alive until the election and in the end unexpected tragedy ensues.
