What can you do if you are considered intellectually inferior, simply because you have inherited your exceptional physique from a Rugby superstar? What can you do if the education system in your country does not endorse your intelligence the way it should? What happens if your love for meat is mocked at and consequently strict vegetarians label you insensitive and barbaric?
Kailash, a part Maori and Indian boy is facing these challenges while seeking an admission in a unique school. Moreover, his spirits are dragged down by alleged sexual misconduct of his father with an underage girl. That allegation leads to painful separation of Kailash from his father.
`Pratibhashali`, the school in Madhupur, India, is unique in many ways.
This school is founded and funded by a billionaire called Ishwarlal Chheda, or better known as I.C. sir. He is an entrepreneur whose empire thrives only on cutting edge science. Partly to feed manpower for his business empire and partly to revive the passion of the great scientists like Edison of yesteryear; I.C. pours enormous amount in this project. The school provides high quality, advanced education free; gives all the resources necessary for the research a student wants to pursue plus ensures a lifelong guarantee of a career with very handsome remuneration. The area of research has to be the student`s genuine, unwavering passion. I.C. is able to attract talented students who have passion to decode all kinds of mysteries or find solutions for a variety of problems ranging from Astrology, evolution of animals to building a food forest. It is quickly realized that genuinely painstaking work in science needs a high spiritual quotient. I.C. is lucky to have Bharati as a teacher who trains students to mould their minds.
`Pratibhashi - the Talented` is a saga of Kailash`s struggle - first to establish himself in the school and then fight the enemies of the school. His struggle in the end becomes life threatening when he faces thousands of fierce, rabid dogs; charged to their primal level and thirsty for blood. Be ready for Goosebumps!
