- Synopsis
- Power outage is a common feature in India and is a nationwide crisis.
  
  Ezhil (Arun Chidambaram) is a village school drop out trying to find a solution to this need of the hour electricity problem. Ezhil’s thought process takes a dramatic turn when he reads a book in the village library. He decides to find an innovative solution to generate power and spends all his time in research and experiments. Village folks discourage him, even call him a nutcase!
  
  This has been shown in a very realistic manner. The highlights of this film are 2 songs.
  ‘Stone or Sand’ which is an eye opener to young and old of all the indoor / outdoor games children can play (instead of being couch potatoes in front of video games and television). This song visualizes 51 traditional games played in Indian villages.
  And ‘He is a Wacko’ which is a quirky song about inventions and inventors, captured brilliantly in ‘RED EPIC’.
  
  The film portrays the protagonist’s perseverance and conviction to make the impossible possible.
