Deool story (no spoilers)
In Deool, Keshya is a simple villager who becomes convinced that god has arrived in his village. Everyone around him disbelieves this claim, setting up a clash between his belief and the community's scepticism. The situation changes drastically once politics enters the picture. The film is a Marathi-language drama that grounds its central conflict in village life and the way belief can become a public and political matter.
