The film is set in post-independence India at the onset of Industrialization. The focus is on Tangawallahs who earn their living transporting people from place to place on Tangas (horse-carts). Their livelihood is threatened when the son of a rich landlord begins operating a bus service in the town, which he subsidizes heavily with the sole intention of first, driving the Tangawallahs out of the town and then making profits. A race between the 2 modes of transport is then proposed to decide which service is the best - Bus or the Tanga? Research scholar Prakash K.
