Story : The movie is based on real life accounts of Dr. Omkar Hota, who saved hundreds of lives in Malkangiri on his real life mission in between 2015 and 2018. Displaying an extraordinary act of humanity, Dr. Hota carried a pregnant woman, Subhama Marse in a cot for 10 km to the nearest Public Health Centre (PHC) in Malkangiri. Under his guidance and support of Malkangiri district administration, several Government departments including teams of health workers, Anganwadi workers, police and forest department visited 151 cut-off areas of Malkangiri to educate the population by distributing insecticide-treated nets (ITNs), creating awareness, performing village-wide screening and regular treatment.
