Plot

The plot begins with a hamlet experiencing a serious water shortage due to a lack of rain in recent years, so the poor people do a puja to the rain god. This causes torrential rains, which delights entire villages as they develop piles of crops. Because of the harvest, the villagers hold a big fair, which introduces the meat of the story. The main protagonist, Krishna, who is beloved by the villagers, portrays Abhimanyu in a mythological play, which leads him to meet and fall in love with a girl from Mumbai, which hurts rural girl Padma, who always wants Krishna well, resulting in a plot twist.

Farmers are the backbone of our country, but they are not getting the kind of respect that they deserve. This movie seeks to boost their moral and show their rich heritage, their contribution to the world. This will not only create empathy for them but also accelerate understanding of the forgotten tradition associated with farmers lives. The title of the Movie ‘SREEMANTA’ denotes a person who is shown here as that farmer who is the ultimate human being, rich in character, culture, heritage, art, science, music and the quality of life that he leads. The title track for this movie is sung by the acclaimed and versatile playback singer Dr. S.P. BALASUBRAMANYAM and music by living legend Shri. Dr. HAMSALEKHA. Popular Bollywood star and philanthropist SONU SOOD is in the lead role. The visual track will be sent to you for reference. Our intension is that spiritual personalities, political Leaders, sportsmen, film celebrities, writers, industrialists, scientists and other such prominent people of this nation should support farmers by making a short video of a single line of a song ‘RAITHA NAMMA BHARATHA BHAGYA VIDHATHA’ which translates to ‘The FARMER is the FUTURE of the NATION’ and another line of your choice which will be included in the movie too and your wishes, all these three to boost the morale of the farmer.
