“In a thought-provoking movie set in rural India, the harsh reality of caste discrimination comes to light. It revolves around a young, determined boy yearning for knowledge, yet he finds himself in an area where the only school is controlled by an educated upper-caste individual. The upper-caste school owner initially hesitates to educate the young boy but eventually takes him under his wing, sensing his potential. This gesture highlights the underlying tensions within the society as many resist the idea of a lower-caste boy receiving an education.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe film doesnu0026#39;t merely focus on the personal journey but delves into the political landscape, showcasing how politicians manipulate caste dynamics for their own gains. They promise better facilities and opportunities but often make them unattainable, much like a distant fruit thatu0026#39;s tantalizingly out of reach. The narrative weaves a tale of resilience, hope, and the fight against deeply rooted prejudice, ultimately aiming to shed light on the complexities of rural life, caste discrimination, and the intricate web of politics that affect the lives of those striving for a brighter future.”
