Agni Varsha

In a timeless kingdom gripped by an unrelenting drought, the ancient art of fire‑sacrifice dominates daily life. At the heart of this ritual stands Puravasu, a solemn priest who has devoted years to appeasing the rain‑god, while the land’s parched hills echo with the prayers of a people desperate for relief. The atmosphere is thick with incense, chanting, and the flickering glow of countless yajnas, creating a world where the divine feels just within reach yet stubbornly aloof.

Against this backdrop of ritual and yearning, family and desire intertwine. Vishakha, Puravasu’s wife, holds a quiet strength that masks her own restless heart, while Yavakri, a rival priest, arrives with a charisma that stirs old affections and new tensions. Their tangled connections are mirrored by a younger generation: Aravasu, Puravasu’s brother, falls for Nittilai, a tribal maiden whose love story brings the village’s customs into sharp focus. Their budding romance introduces a fresh, earthy contrast to the austere priestly world, hinting at a clash of tradition and passion.

Above the mortal struggles, the celestial presence of Indra looms, his watchful eyes promising both judgment and salvation. A mysterious demon—embodied by a dark, otherworldly force—adds an ominous layer to the already fraught atmosphere, reminding all that the line between the sacred and the sinister is dangerously thin. The film’s tone weaves mythic grandeur with intimate human drama, inviting viewers to wonder how devotion, rivalry, and love will shape the fate of a land thirsting for rain.
