PLOT

In the 1920s, Mangatram “Manga” is an uneducated, jobless young man who dreams of joining the Police Force but fails at every attempt made to do so. During a visit to the village Naku Guda for his friend Heera’s wedding, Manga comes across Sargi and falls in love with her, but being jobless Manga is unable to move forward with his relationship with Sargi.

Manga was born with a unique ability that he could cure anyone’s back-ache with a simple kick to the buttocks. One day he manages to cure Englishman Mark Daniel of his back-ache using the same technique. Impressed, Mark offers him a job in the Police Force, which Manga happily accepts.

Manga is convinced that since he has a job now, Sargi’s family won’t object to his marriage with her and so he approaches Sargi’s grandfather Lalaji. But Lalaji, who is a follower of Mahatma Gandhi, refuses the proposal because Manga is working for the British, the very people against whom the people of the Naku Guda are fighting for their freedom.
