It took place just a year before the Sepoy Mutiny: This statement is incorrect. The Indigo Revolt (or Blue Mutiny) took place in the late 1850s, but it was not just a year before the Sepoy Mutiny (Indian Rebellion of 1857). The Indigo Revolt occurred in 1859-1860, while the Sepoy Mutiny started in 1857.

Dinabandhu Mitra’s play Nil Darpan reflected the peasants’ feelings toward the indigo planters: This statement is correct. Dinabandhu Mitra's play "Nil Darpan" highlighted the oppressive conditions faced by indigo cultivators and depicted their feelings toward the indigo planters.

Therefore, the correct option is 2 only.
