Feared dacoits like Maan Singh, Putil bhai, Malkhan Singh,Mohar Singh etc are all by product of this river valley region called Beehad.This trend still continues.  However,today they have lost their sheen of self righteousness and become sort ofmercenaries.  
Slowly and steadily theirpractice turned into kidnapping and except for a few of them, others turnedinto a sort of mercenaries. In the film, ‘BEEHAD- The Ravines’, story dealswith this mix of dacoits from 1975 to the year 2005. After a research of fiveyears, this film went on floor and was shot at actual locations of Beehad in Chambal Ravines.   
Initially Beehad nurtured extremist like Shriram, Lalaram, Fakkad, Mustakeemetc who terrorized the entire Chambal valley. Later Shriram Singh guided VikramMallah and Phoolan Devi into this art of terror and they ignited the valleywith religious conflicts. Result of this was Kusuma Nain’s birth as a dacoitwho later killed Vikram Mallah. While Phoolan Devi vindicated her rape bykilling 23 innocent people in Behmai village after her marriage to Maan Singh,it was Kusuma Nain who became the most evil and feared dacoit.  Along with Shriram and Lalaram, Kusuma Killed15 Mallah at mai aasta. Later shesurrendered to police and is waiting judgment in Orai Jail.  
Today Chambal valley does nothave any real time dacoit, but the name beehadstill evokes fear. Film BEEHAD- The Ravines is the story ofthese dacoits, their social exploitation, their taking to arms against thisinjustice and their reign of terror against opposite sects and castes.
