A village leader's integrity is tested by drought and political intrigue, ultimately vindicated by a just ruler.
The story of 'Sala Budha' or 'The stupid Old man' revolves around an old village head, the Sarpanch of a village, who tries his best to take care of the subjects at any cost. The film has successfully depicted the strong relationship of the earlier days in the villages of western Odisha and the innocence, simplicity and righteousness of the Old man, who finally gets his reward from the King. This is nice motivational and inspirational movie which says with positive thinking and wit all obstacles can be cleared.
