In an amateurish Ramleela in a village, the situation becomes chaotic because the actors, playing characters from the Ramayana, are uninterested, untrained and clueless. Things go out of control when the actor playing Raavan refuses to die if his demand for a fee hike is not agreed to, turning the show into a Ravanleela. The play is designed and directed by Om Katare.
