Maru Ro Moti plot

Twelve-year-old Moti lives in the dusty Indian countryside; arid plains where goats and camels roam freely and the land is still worked by hand. A member of the Manganiar caste, he grew up with music. Singing is part of everyday life, a way of telling stories and passing on traditions. Moti is a great singing talent and he is sent to a music institute to refine his singing skills. It is the custom for his caste to perform for wealthy patrons, but Moti is not comfortable with this. When he is subsequently cast in a musical and goes on a world tour, he is welcomed as a hero in his native village.
