Synopsis

When a gifted young drummer from a poor untouchable family yearns to learn to play mridangam (Indian percussion instrument) from the top Maestro, he faces rejection from the classical music community as well as from his family. Following his struggle, we travel from the high-brow world of Carnatic music to current reality TV shows. The score by A.R. Rahman is a charm.
