In pre-independence India, Laxman Singh Bisht is an odd child, bullied by Narayan and his friends, who call him “Tubelight”, although defended by his younger brother Bharat. Gandhi visits the school and teaches the children about faith, courage, and belief. India becomes independent of British rule in 1947 and Gandhi is assassinated the following year. Laxman and Bharats parents pass away, so they become even closer as they grow up.
