Synopsis

Dhruv, a wildlife researcher from the city, is entrusted with conducting a foot-survey of a wildlife sanctuary and he recruits Dorai - a local tribesman, to serve as his guide. Despite coming from dramatically different worlds, the two of them strike up an unlikely friendship. Dhruv finds himself unwittingly drawn into Dorai's world, which is darker than he imagined and many of his comfortable notions about contemporary society and its marginalised constituents are severely questioned.
