Dweepa (2001)

Dweepa takes us immediately into the lives of a small family living on the beautiful paradise-like island in the heart of Karnataka. Embedded like a crowning jewel at the foot of a picturesque mountain called 'Sita Mountain' the island is part of history. It is believed that Rama and Sita used that mountain and its surrounding areas during their exile. The local folk also believe that an enraged villager's spirit who killed an evil king is their God Almighty. This belief is so deep rooted that it refuses to change the old man's mind when it is discovered that due to rising water levels, the island is bound to submerge sooner or later.
