Synopsis

Contemporary India. A majestic fort. A royal dynasty that no longer rules. A king without a kingdom. Yet Eklavya, their royal guard, lives in a time warp. He lives only to protect the fort, the dynasty, and the king.For nine generations his family has protected Devigarh, a centuries old citadel in Rajasthan. His marksmanship is legendary. And his unflinching loyalty inspires ballads. Eklavya has spent his entire life serving the royals and closely guarding their secrets but now he’s getting old and increasingly blind.Unable to cope with the suffocating customs of his land, the heir, Prince Harshwardhan, has stayed away in London. But the sudden demise of the queen, Rani Suhasinidevi, forces the Prince back to the kingdom he had left behind. The return of the Prince brings a rush of joy into the moribund fort -his mentally challenged twin sister, Princess Nandini and his childhood love Rajjo.It is a time of unrest in the kingdom, farmers are being stripped of their lands. The king, Rana Jaywardhan, influenced by his brother, Rana Jyotiwardhan, supports the atrocities being forced upon the helpless peasants. The king receives a death threat over the phone. An irreverent police officer, Pannalal Chohar, is called in to investigate. But he might be too late. The fragile peace of the land is suddenly shattered by a barrage of bullets. And amidst the mayhem, the safely guarded secrets of the fort are unveiled.
