Maro Prapancham Story
During the time of Gandhiji’s centenary birth celebrations, several leaders and social reformers gave messages regarding the ideologies of Gandhi, which they did not follow in real life. At this point, nine youngsters, fed up with these double standards, form an organization and kidnap children from all over the country. They create a unique world called “Maro Prapancham,” where jealousy, rivalry, caste, and community do not exist. Even the Goddess of India lands at the place. Such a place creates a massive uproar in the country, and the Central Government appoints Special CBI Officer Ravindra Nath to solve the case. Ravindra eventually manages to find this different world after various setbacks. He sees it filled with righteousness, truth, peace, kindness, and mercy. Inspired, he decides to join the organization that built the “Maro Prapancham.”
When a few members are caught and prosecuted, Ravindra arrives and takes the judiciary to the “Maro Prapancham” to describe its uniqueness and what they were trying to achieve. Yet, the bench is unmoved and declares them guilty, sentencing Ravindra and the others caught. Thereupon, children obstruct the Police and demand their leaders be set free. Ravindra explains to them that they are now independent and can carry on their own, urging them to make the entire country a “different world.” The movie ends with the children proceeding toward the “Maro Prapancham.”
