            Set in todays hinterland of Uttar Pradesh and state-of-the-art campus of the Indian Institute of Management-Lucknow (IIM-L), India, Manjunath is the true story of a 27 year old guy, Manjunath Shanmugam. After passing out from the IIM, Manjunath (Sasho Satiiysh Saarathy) joins a petroleum company. He is posted in Lakhimpur Kheri, a remote district in rural Uttar Pradesh. One day Manjunath goes missing. His friends (Anjorie Alagh & Faisal Rashid), who know and work with him, panic, because they know that off late he had been very disturbed and was behaving very strangely. He had become very serious and scared. And this was very different from the Manjunath they knew in college, who was always jovial, fun-loving, very friendly and a great entertainer.One of his friends finds him, but Manjunath appears very frantic. They send him back to his hometown. Manjunaths parents try to convince him to leave his job at Indian Oil that seems to be causing him stress. Initially he seems willing but slowly he realizes that he doesnt want to be quitter. Manjunath believes that, being from a top institute in the country, he is one of the cream 5% who has been given the opportunity. Being the eldest son of a mineworker, he has had a humble upbringing.He realizes that the kerosene being mixed with diesel, is coming from ration shops its the poor peoples kerosene. In addition, he also becomes conscious of the extent of pollution caused by burning adulterated fuel. He finds strength and comes back to fight, against his parents (Kishor Kadam & Seema Biswas) wishes.Now we realize why he was under so much stress. There is a clear threat to his life, because he insists on doing his duty to stop petrol adulteration. But this time, Manjunath is not deterred. He continues doing what he considers right, without worrying about the consequences. As a result of this, one night he gets brutally killed by the people who are getting harmed by his doing his duty. His family and friends suffer, cry at his death. Why? They wonder Why he put himself in so much dangerThe question still remains. Is he a failure or a success?Slowly, the worst fears start coming true. Beyond the initial grief, no one wants to come forward to carry on the fight.Suddenly, like a bolt from the blue, people unrelated to him, who have no connection to him, start to realize the importance of what Manjunath did, and start trying to do something. Like novices, they search their way around, but their will is strong. They start getting help again from unexpected quarters. It is nerve wracking, with dangers for everyone who is helping them. But suddenly, instead of one or two, there are a lot people helping them. Manjunath, who has lost hope, realizes that its not all going waste.He hopes and prays that they succeed. The film has Manjunath himself as the narrator, and it cuts back and forth from a rock concert, which is the very unique treatment to the screenplay. And the conflict of the story is not whether Manjunath lived or died, but if the effect of Manjunath lives or dies, and in the end thats the victory.
