Tuntari 2016

The film follows a group of five IT professionals who set out on a trek into a nearby forest and unexpectedly cross paths with a mysterious sage. The journey introduces a cast of lively personalities, featuring performances by Vennela Kishore, Ali Basha, Nara Rohith, Nellore Sudharshan, Kabir Duhan Singh, and Latha Hegde as Siri, giving the story its human color and humor.

To test whether the sage possesses genuine supernatural powers, the group challenges him to conjure a newspaper printed the day after Dusshera, knowing that most publications close for the festival. The sage, true to the dare, produces the edition and then disappears back into the forest. When the group unfolds the newspaper, they are stunned by what they read: the company they once worked for, shut down four months earlier, is poised to start operations again. Even more surprising is the article’s note about a certain Raju, whose father is a BSNL employee, who would go on to win a boxing championship and donate the prize money of Rs. 5 crores to these five IT professionals.

Buoyed by this forecast, they embark on a mission to find Raju and eventually track him down in Vizag. Raju himself is presented as a carefree, jobless young man with no clear direction in life, living a life of spontaneous choices and open possibilities. The rest of the film then unfolds as this unlikely group works to persuade Raju to take boxing seriously, guiding him toward the championship and the possibility of that hefty prize coming their way. Their plan hinges on belief, teamwork, and a willingness to seize an unexpected opportunity when it arrives.

As the story progresses, themes of luck, ambition, and collaboration come to the fore, painting a portrait of how chance encounters can ripple into defining moments. The narrative moves between the forest encounter, the revelation in Vizag, and the tense preparation for the boxing clash, all while keeping a light, character-driven tone that leans on humor, camaraderie, and the shared dream of turning fortune into a future.
