Official trailer and plot My Hero

The Eric Roberts starrer is set in the vibrant town of Maheshwar. It tells the story of an unexpected friendship between a young Dalit boy and an American tourist grieving the loss of his grandson. The two cross paths during a difficult time in both their lives. As they grow closer, the boy opens up about being banished from his village in Chikamagaluru for touching a sacred idol. Such an act is often seen as a violation due to his caste.

Moved by the boy’s pain, the American decides to help. With compassion and a touch of humor, he accompanies the boy back to his village. Once there, he confronts the deep-rooted caste discrimination that tore the boy from his family. His bold and unconventional approach begins to change hearts and minds. Slowly, the villagers start to reflect on their rigid beliefs and that forms the main crux of the movie.
