Official trailer and plot of Kaalapatthar

Kaalapatthar follows the story of Shankara, an army man whose life takes an unexpected turn after a twist of fate earns him national recognition. Mistakenly hailed as a hero, his village honors him with a statue. But this sudden fame changes everything. He begins to sense that something isn’t quite right in his life anymore.

The film is set in the dry, drought-stricken village of Moodalapura in North Karnataka. The harsh landscape and water scarcity form a crucial part of the narrative. Shankara’s internal conflict deepens as he grapples with the consequences of his unintended fame.

A parallel track features his bond with Ganga, a schoolteacher who becomes his voice of reason. Meanwhile, local politicians exploit both the water crisis and Shankara’s fame to manipulate the villagers.
