Synopsis
The story of Vikram-Vetal is based on the popular legends which are familiar to the common man in India. Even though Vikram is known as a historical figure and called ‘Chakravarti Vikramaditya’, the incidents weaved around him are basically legendry.

Vikram’s father King Gardbhilla was killed by Shakraj who was a tool in the hands of a Tantrik Kapalik. Kapalik’s ambitions were big, vicious and he wanted to fulfil them with his cruel powers. When Vikram was older he came to take back his father’s kingdom just to free his subjects from the cruelties of Kapalik & Shakraj. He aroused the sentiments of his people and made them brave enough to crush their enemies.

First Vikram came into the open against the tyranny of Meenakshi, the beautiful sister of Shakraj, having total control over the kingdom in her hands. She ordered to kill Vikram and throw him in Shipre river, but Vikram was destined to bring back the well-being of his subjects. So with the blessings of Godess Harsiddhi, he was saved and then he moved ahead to achieve his goal. In the due course he came across many such incidents which were dangerous enough to destroy him, but brave Vikram faced all odds with wisdom and valour and met his ideal companion Vaital, a super human-being having rare qualities that could defeat Kapalik in his own game of magical super powers.

Kapalik did not want Vikram to move safely to achieve his goal. So first he managed to send a burning snake into Vikram’s belly due to which he turned ugly cause of the snake’s poison. But immediately after meeting Mahananda, a great lady, with her devotion towards her husband, Vikram was brought back to his original form.

Then Vikram, with the help of Vetal came to Meenakshi, who was attracted towards Vikram since the very beginning. Here also Kapalik came on the scene and tried to crush Vikram once more, but due to Sati Mahananda’s prayers Vikram was saved once again.

Ultimately, Vikram got the keys from Meenakshi to kill Kapalik, the main force behind the tyranny of Shakraj. It was ‘Panch dand’ the five magical sticks which Kapalik’s existence was depending on. With the help of Vetal, Vikram got the first ‘dand’ from the Ashram, second from Sona Mahal, third from Patal Lok and fourth from Akash Mahal – all of these places were protected by Kapalik’s magical powers, but Vikram pierced through them and achieved the four ‘dands’ with his extraordinary valour.

Finally Vikram and Vetal enter the climax, where Kapalik wanted to snatch away the four ‘dands’ from Vikram and save his own life. But he could not change his destiny with his devilish designs. Both Kapalik and Shakraj were killed in the last battle with the help of Vetal and Vikram’s loyal subjects. Thus, Chakravarti Vikramaditya enthroned the famous ‘Sinhasan’ alongwith Meenakshi & Mahananda.
