Aadhaar(2022) is a social drama that delves into the intersection of bureaucracy, identity, and human dignity in rural India. The film follows Pharsua, a simple villager from Jharkhand, who becomes the first person in his village to receive an Aadhaar card. Initially, he is proud of this new identity marker, believing it will bring him access to government benefits and social recognition. However, his life takes an unexpected turn when rumors spread that his Aadhaar number is linked to an ominous prophecy. A bureaucratic nightmare ensues as Pharsua embarks on a desperate journey to change his Aadhaar details, only to confront an indifferent and labyrinthine system that refuses to acknowledge his concerns.

The film masterfully explores themes of government control, the vulnerability of the underprivileged, and the paradox of identity in a digital age. Through Pharsua’s struggle, “Aadhaar” critiques the blind faith in technology-driven governance and exposes the emotional and psychological toll of excessive bureaucracy. With a gripping narrative, heartfelt performances, and sharp social commentary, the movie offers a poignant reflection on modern India’s administrative challenges and the human cost of rigid policies. In the end, Pharsua’s ordeal becomes a symbol of resilience, questioning whether identity should be a tool for empowerment or a mechanism for oppression.
