Plot

Every child in full of potential talents. Tapped at the right time, harnessed for the right purpose and monitored in the proper path, it is possible to awaken the achiever inside the child, leading to great heights of excellence. In this process, just love and care not enough. The objective should be clear and the path must be cleared. This is what the film tries to project.

Mutha (Vijay Raghavendra) is a vibrant young boy. He belongs to the lower strata of society. He lives with his grandmother (Shanthamma), who is barely able to manage with small earning by selling firewood.

Running fast was an integral part of Mutha. But neither he nor the people around him were aware of this innate talent.

The playful Mutha becomes a lonely soul after the grandmother dies and becomes a bonded labour in the house of village head. He is not only missing the love and care of grandmother, but also the freedom to go out and play with his friends. He manages to coax the village head into permitting him to take the cattle to forest for grazing. Now he is back with his friends in the forest. His joy knows no bounds.

One day, while they are playing, one of the cows goes astray. Frightened of consequences, he runs away from the village and ultimately finds himself in a big city, Bengaluru. Everything is a strange experience for him there. He gets into a group of young boys engaged in shoe-lifting as a livelihood under the loving care and able guidance of Daada (H. G. Dattatreya). He is a lonely old man, who finds his own happiness in the company of these young lads. One day, when Mutha is running away with stolen shoes from a stadium, he is chased and caught by Saavant (Avinash), a professional coach training athletes in running.

Instead of a thief, Saavant sees the potential of a great runner in Mutha. Saavant takes Mutha under his care and starts training him for running race. Slowly and steadily, Mutha comes up as an acknowledged runner and with hard training and perseverance, goes on to win the Gold Medal in the state level competition. He wants to bring all those Daada's boys also into Saavant's camp, so that they can also experience the thrill of a purposeful life as he has experienced. He persuades Daada and Saavant also convinces Daada. The boys join Mutha. Saavant trains them all and creates a fine team for the relay races. The team wins the relay race in All India Competition.
