This is an absorbing emotionally charged film based on the life of Subramanya Bharati.
Subramanya Bharati is known as a National Poet who wrote thousands of poems in a short life. Strange; that an icon of such caliber, had only 14 people attending to his funeral. That's not all when, he lived our society simply ignored him.

This film unveils the tragic life of this great man, the story of the transformation of "Subbaiah" into "Bharati". How society and his family viewed him & he led his life with thoughts ahead of his times. Bharati never lost faith in humanity despite all suffering. He was a great optimistic and a dreamer.

The story of Bharati is depicted in a series of episodes from his childhood, early marriage, death of his parents, glimpses of the child prodigy, and his trip to Benares, Royal patronage, and his flamboyant attitudes, rebellious journalistic career, his trouble with the British administration, French refuge and defiance, comeback and death in penury and poverty while writing some of the greatest poems in the Tamil language. These are all depicted in this absorbing film narrative.
