The film is a story of hope, courage, and spirituality, which a downtrodden farmer from Maharashtra is often engrossed these days. Thanks to the poor and worst conditions of farmers in this state who lives under petty debts but unable to clear it before it becomes huge to mar his and his family life.

At this juncture when we seen many of farmers taking up their lives by consuming pesticides or hanging over the tree, the film narrates the darker truth of the film. The film is about a man called Arjun Played by Shahshank Shende who remains a poor farmer is haunted to commit suicide with his seven year old son called Abhimanyu played by Sahil Joshi who is seen visiting the temple of Hindu god Vithal based at Pandharpur.

The fact is the film is more about innocence, love and spirituality, which is hard to catch these days in commercial film that makes it a perfect catch in the midst of many films releasing too often.
