    • Synopsis
    • Surya (Dassani) is born with a rare medical disorder called Congenital Analgesia and he is looked after by his father and mischievous grandfather Ajoba (Manjrekar). School life is difficult for a boy who doesn’t feel pain; he is picked on by bullies and yet he finds an unlikely ally in his neighbour Supri (Madan). At home Surya binges on a whole host of martial arts films and is mesmerised by one particular movie featuring a one-legged man called Karate Mani (Devaiah). The inspiration enables Surya to strike out on a quest to vanquish his foes.
