Synopsis
“Parampara” is the story of a battlefield, which is always thirsty for the blood of brave protagonists. Once upon a time, two people came to fight each other to satiate the thirst of this battle ground. According to the traditions of this land, Thakur Bhavani Singh, the owner of the land and Raj Bahadur, the chief of the Gypsies fought a duel with a pistol containing one bullet each to decide the right of the disputed land. The one who survived became the lawful owner of the property.
The result? Gora Shankar lost his father Raja Bahadur in one dispute and Thakur Bhavani Singh lost his son Prithvi in another. But the blood thirsty land was not content. Tara, the Gypsy girl lost her love and her life at the hands of the custom bound Thakur and Rajeshwari lost her husband to the same ritual.
But the new generation, the men of the new world – today’s world, grew up oblivious of this violent tradition. The Gypsy girl’s son Ranbir and the Rajput’s grandson Pratap met each other, made a happy four with their beloved Vijaya and Sapna and sang the song of youth and bravery. But the fate had something else in store for them.
The song of love and friendship were soon silenced. They soon stood facing each other on that same blood thirsty land. Tradition bound, they stood with one bullet each in their pistols, ready to settle a dispute of honor. Will the old order of tradition win or will the new order bring in a new era of peace and harmony? Will the blood of one grandson be shed to purge the rigid traditions of the Thakur grandson or will the father’s supreme sacrifice save both his sons. Will one brother have to shed the blood of the other to finally satiate the blood thirsty land or will this tradition finally revolt against itself? |
