Plot

edit

During the time of Gandhi's centenary birth celebrations, several leaders & social reformers gave messages regarding the ideologies of Gandhi, which they did not follow in real life. At this point, 9 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 & community do not exist. Even the Goddess of India lands at the place. Such a place created a massive uproar in the country, and the Central Govt appointed Special CBI Officer Ravindra Nath to solve the case. Ravindra eventually manages to find a different world after various setbacks. He sees the place filled with righteousness, truth, peace, kindness & mercy. This inspires him, and he decides to join the organization that made the Maro Prapancham (Another World). When a few members are caught and prosecuted, Ravindra arrives and paths the judiciary to the new world to describe its uniqueness and what they were trying to achieve. Yet, the bench is unmoved and judges them guilty, sentencing Ravindra and the people caught. Thereupon, children obstruct the Police and demand their leaders be set free. Ravindra explains to them that the children are now independent and can carry on their own and orders them to make the entire country a different world. The movie ends with the children proceeding toward the Maro Prapancham.
