Kanneshwara Rama

Set in 1920s India, the story follows Kanneshwara Rama, a defiant peasant who becomes a legendary outlaw after confronting local injustice. After a prison stint where he encounters Gandhi’s followers, he joins and eventually leads a group of bandits, becoming a Robin Hood-like figure who aids the poor and challenges feudal authority. His journey is complicated by his relationship with Malli, a former bandit’s mistress, and his growing ambition to establish his own principality.
