Investigation of the murder of a learned traditional and scholarly person, for teaching the Sanskrit language and Sanathana Dharma / Hindu holy scriptures authored in it to a boy whose caste and religion is unknown.
"Karna Rasaayamalthe Bharatham" means, in the Mahabharatha Epic, the way Karna's character is inquisitive, the same way his tragedy too was. Based on Karna Parva (the Book of Karna), this story is presented as a metaphor (Roopaka).
Mr. Agnihotri, an innocent learned person and a Vidwan (traditional intellectual), is secular and broadminded. In his Gurukul, he preaches Sanskrit Vedas, Mantras, and Upanishads to a boy, who is from an unknown caste/religion. This is objected by the locals, who propel him away from there. This was because, teaching these to a non-higher caste person was considered as taboo by many people. Then Agnihotri is murdered for pragmatic political gains. How the investigation moves, to identify the murderer, leads the story.
Sanskrit, the oldest source of all languages, is in itself a culture, a way of life, a style of livelihood and also a wonderful gain of worldly knowledge, which can never become obsolete. Its influence can be seen in almost all languages of the world including Greek, Latin and Tamil. One has to be fortunate to learn and use it.
Yakshagana Taala-Maddale, a celebrated debating (oral) traditional art form, by the people of interior Western Ghats of India, which usually debates the characters and subject matters from Epics of Ramayana and Mahabharatha, is relevant even today.
This Sanskrit movie is experimentally presented, to recognize it in a different angle, so that the SANSKRIT language is not ignored and does not lose its richness and preciousness.
