‘Daman’ and ‘Khara’ are synonymous as both films deal with a chronic problem of the region. ‘Daman’ refers to how malaria could be eradicated by a government initiative in the divided part of Maoist Odisha’s Malkangiri district with hard work of a young doctor. Similarly, ‘Khara’ shows the problem faced by the people of Titlagarh during the summer due to extreme temperature conditions.
