Set in the rural heartlands of Uttar Pradesh, Daas Dev is a love story set on the backdrop of caste politics in the state. The film talks about love and greed and how personal equations change on the face of lust for power.

Mishra said that he took the three central characters from Chattopadhyay’s novel—Paro, Devdas, and Chandramukhi—and wove the plot of the William Shakespeare’s Hamlet into it. With the Indian political situation thrown in, the film has become a kind of reverse journey for Devdas, he added.
