Plot

[edit]

The story revolves primarily around Daaji (Dilip Prabhavalkar) and his grandson, Govind (Nishant Bhavsar). Daaji narrates the story as a flashback from the present day as a grandfather (Ravindra Mankani) to his grandson (Shubhankar Atre). The story takes place in 1947 in Mor-gaon, a laid-back hamlet, just six days before the Indian Independence Day. During that time communication was slow and the news took over a week to reach other villages.

The film was shot in different locations across western Maharashtra and was produced by Bollywood actor Ajay Devgan, with Leena Deore alongside Pravin Patil as co-producers.
