== Plot ==
Jibonkrishna Das is a lower caste [[Hindu]] drummer who faces humiliation from the upper caste Hindus and the Muslims. When the [[Pakistan Army]] captured his village, he attempted to flee to [[India]] with his family. On their way though, hundreds of people, including Jibon's family, were killed by the army. Jibon, however, survived and was traumatized by the incident.

Jibon returns to his village, now occupied by the [[Razakar (Pakistan)|Razakars]]. He was spared by the commander of the Razakars and later goes to the military base where he was obliged to abandon his dhak and play the western drum for the Pakistan Army. He becomes devastated and even faces discrimination by the army for his religion. Later, the army kidnaps Bengali women and keeps them hostage. The [[Mukti Bahini]] fighters arrive and raze the military base. Jibon later abandons the drum and takes his dhak to celebrate the liberation of his village from the razakars.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.dhakatribune.com/uncategorized/2014/04/26/jibondhuli-to-be-screened-in-64-districts|title=Jibondhuli to be screened in 64 districts|work=[[Dhaka Tribune]]|date=26 April 2014|access-date=17 October 2021}}</ref>
