A warm, optimistic journey through India's modern history told through the eyes of a kind-hearted man with intellectual disability, anchored by an enduring but unfulfilled love.

Events in India's history — from the Emergency and the famous Cricket World Cup win to the Punjab riots , unfold from the perspective of an innocent Sikh man Laal Singh Chaddha, a person with a low IQ but high optimism. Laal is able to achieve everything under the sun but his childhood love continues to elude him.
