Dakhal (transl. The Occupation) is a 1981 Indian Bengali film directed by Gautam Ghose, with Mamata Shankar, Robin Sen Gupta, Sunil Mukherjee and Sujal Roy Chowdhury in lead roles. The film is about a woman belonging to nomadic tribe from Andhra Pradesh, known as crow hunters, who elopes and moves to south Bengal and makes a living by occult practices. It deals with the issue of exploitation of tribal people by the deceitful landlord.[1][2] The film was based on Amma, a short story of Sushil Jana.[3][4]

This the first Bengali-language feature film by Ghosh, who had previously made documentaries and Maa Bhoomi in Telugu.[2] At the 29th National Film Awards it won the awards for Best Feature Film.[5][6] At the 11th International Human Rights Film Festival in Paris it won the Grand Jury Prize.[1]
