A Film by Ayodhya Kumar Krishnamsetty

The Story

Raju’, a mother-less child, is orphaned by his father, as he is visually challenged while editing a video that he has made in a local photo studio. He is admitted to a residential visually challenged orphanage run by a depraved man ‘Narayana’, who battens on the money meant for the welfare of the visually challenged and keeps the children in deplorable conditions. All his hardship as a motherless child with a drunken father has been one part of life and to the extremity of unfortune, he is now visually challenged. As visually challenged boy, he learns to see life as a challenge; to face it and fight for his independence. Discrimination has always been a large challenge for a visually challenged person to overcome. In the process of coping with the fresh blindness, Raju finds four friends Mynah, Sukumar, Bhaskar and Anand among the children of the centre. All the children, being victims of Narayana’s atrocities decide to send a complaint to the District Collector with the help of Raju. Unfortunately the whole effort goes in vain, as the letter falls into the wrong hands their plan gets failed. This humiliation and pain strengthens the resolve of the children to expose Narayana’s delinquency. The mission “Divya-Drushti” starts with Raju’s astounding idea of portraying the brutality of Narayana with all evidences and proofs to the District Collector and makes an identity and creates independence not only to him but also to others.
