Naya Pata - a PVR Director's Rare film

Set in the late 1980s, Naya Pata is about a man’s struggle to re-establish his lost identity. The film follows Ram Swarath Dubey, the protagonist, who has been rendered jobless by the shutting down of the sugar industry in Bihar. Having no other option, Ram migrates to New Delhi in search of livelihood, leaving behind his family and young wife. As the years pass by, Ram senses alienation from both the worlds that he inhabits as he can never go back to his native Bihar for a long time and when in the city, he feels even more wrong footed. After 30 years of living with this inner turmoil, Ram decides to return to his roots, once and for all; with the hope that going back home would turn out to be the answer to his loneliness and anxiety. However, things are not as he envisioned when he returns and this is when actual weight of his identity crisis falls onto him.
