This is a story of a 9 year old village boy. Raju comes from a very poor family. His father is struggling with a one acre land trying to survive his family like millions of Indian village farmers. A very hand to mouth existence indeed. But Indian village boys like Raju don't lose their spirit. They have an innate knowledge, intelligence and undying spirit which will not be disturbed by things like no progress, bad schools, poverty etc..
It is the story of thousands of Raju's in our villages who are very intelligent but remain so without exposure and appreciation.
One day a classmate of Raju called Sandeep comes from the city and suddenly life changes. Raju realizes that there is another world bigger and brighter outside. That there is progress beyond belief rockets, satellites, cars, remotes etc. While they still walk and commute by cycles and even till today a bus comes once in four days to their village.
But this only makes Raju stronger and leads to competition, race and a win-win situation. By the end even Sandeep and his father realize that the village is the actual backbone of our country. If there is progress in cities, there is spirit, tradition and inborn talent intact only in our village.
