What happens in Hitler from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 4-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Madhava Rao, also known as Madhava, is a hot-tempered, fiercely protective man who holds court in a small town surrounded by his five sisters: Sarada, Ammu, Lakshmi, Gayatri, and Saraswati. He rules the household with an iron resolve, earning the nickname “Hitler” from the local youth for the way he disciplines anyone who dares to mistreat his sisters. The family’s life is tightly interwoven with that of their maternal uncle Aadi Seshu, whose children—Balachandra (Balu) and Bujji—are close to the clan. Plans are laid for a double set of marriages: Balu with Ammu, and Madhava with Bujji, once Sarada is married to her match.
