Oka Oori Katha (English title: The Marginal Ones; Telugu: ఒక ఊరి కథ) is a 1977 Indian Telugu-language drama film directed by Mrinal Sen. An adaptation of Munshi Premchand's short story Kafan (The Burial Shroud), the film transports the narrative from the Hindi heartland of Premchand to the rural landscapes of Telangana. Starring M. V. Vasudeva Rao, G. V. Narayana Rao, and Mamata Shankar, the film sharply critiques feudal exploitation by depicting the harsh lives of a father-son duo who resist the oppressive system by refusing to work.
