| In 1947 when the maps of India and Pakistan
were being drawn, an oversight ensured that the village of Paglapur
didn’t find a place in either country. The village had the distinction
of housing the largest mental asylum in the region and in the melee that
ensued during partition, the asylum inmates broke loose, drove away the
villagers and established their own republic in Paglapur. And that’s
how it stayed for the next 60 years! While the world outside changed,
Paglapur remained isolated, with no electricity, television or sanity!
Now, decades after the world forgot this village, a NASA scientist of
Indian origin, Raj/Agasthya (same name as Akshay Kumar had in Jaaneman)
and his beautiful wife, Diva find themselves on the road to Paglapur.
Raj is working on a top secret project for creating a device to
communicate with aliens. So why is he in a village whose colourful
inhabitants include a man who speaks in gibberish, another who thinks he
is a lamp post and everyone else who think Mahatma Gandhi is still around, fighting for independence? |
