The film is a commentary on the deeply entrenched roots of poverty in India. The story is of a small village in Maharashtra where daily wage labourers carry out the constant struggle to survive. <br><br> By using the example of one family, the film draws attention to how young children, truly inclined to study, have to drop out of school to help their families in manual labour. The narrative tells the story of a boy called Guna, a sincere student, but one who has to forgo his education due to financial compulsions. With a closing shot of Guna following in his father's footsteps of being a manual labourer, the film tries to give incisive insights on Indian poverty and how a basic need like education is an unattainable privilege for so many in the country.

The story is of a man's concern over the dismal state of society, positioned in direct contrast against the indifference of his uncle who has the power to actually change things. <br><br> After a pothole on the road makes Abhishek realise what a safety hazard it can be, he approaches his uncle, a seemingly influential politician, to improve the state of affairs. The latter dismisses his anger as enthusiasm that is often linked with young age. However, when tragedy strikes at home, whose victory would it be - of apathy and personal greed, or of the desire to make this world a better place?
