At a traditional Indian wrestling academy, Abhilesh (18), an endearing boy, struggles to embody his mentor’s rigid, hypermasculine ideals to fulfill his family’s ambitions driven by his politician uncle. Amid the sweat and discipline, he finds unexpected intimacy in friendship - one stirs fierce devotion, the other, quiet compassion - pulling him in different directions. As Abhilesh realises that he is not meant for this cut throat competition, he must confront what he is truly fighting for. Caught between loyalty, longing, and selfhood, he begins to question what it truly means to be a man.
