Based on a true story, this is a gripping tale of emotions set against the backdrop of a village where salt fields are the only source of generating revenue.
A local bigwig controls and calls the shots.
The protagonist is an educated youth who is very inventive in nature. His researches lead him into a new concept of generating electricity.
The powers that be are opposing it as it would defeat the objectives of Corporates.
The hero ‘ s father, Charlie is a seasoned lineman of that neighborhood of over 3 decades of service.
Saranya Ravichandran from the same neighborhood is holding the torch for the protagonist.
All his efforts in trying to get recognition from the District Collector draws to a nought and hence the protagonist heads to Chennai to meet the State C. M. with a view to win recognition to his project. Even that attempt fails and he returns home dejected and depressed.
Charlie too, for his part, raises his voice against the bigwig of the village who steals electricity. Treachery plays up and he too gets victimized.
On compassionate grounds, the protagonist is given his Dad ‘ s job while he keeps pursuing his efforts to gain recognition for his project.
A bit slow in pace but the film delivers what it intended to.
