    • Synopsis
    • Chidi Balla tells a culturally rich tale of bravery of common souls in the face of tremendous adversaries. Film celebrates the spirit of sportsmanship, determination, and camaraderie deeply rooted in Rajasthan's cultural ethos.
      In a 1990s Rajasthan village, the Principal faces a desperate challenge to rescue Shekhawati High School from closure. To achieve this, he seeks an unexpected solution: winning the State Level Badminton Tournament.
      Bhagat, unfamiliar with the sport, is entrusted with this mission. As he embraces the responsibility, Bhagat's journey unfolds, inspiring the lethargic villagers to rally behind him. Together, they revive their heritage and culture, triumphing against adversity.
      A tale of transformation and unity, Bhagat's pursuit not only saves the school but revitalizes a forgotten legacy in Shekhawati.
