Struggling to make ends meet, Malhari works hard to provide for his family. One day, Pandhari notices a wooden rocking horse owned by their affluent neighbor and asks his father for the same toy. Unable to afford it, Malhari initially avoids the request but eventually decides to craft a horse himself using wood from the construction site. Just as he completes the toy and begins his journey home, the van carrying it drives off, leaving Malhari chasing after it in vain. This sets Malhari on an emotional journey to retrieve the horse, navigating challenges that expose the layers of human behavior and societal disparities. The story symbolizes the struggles of ordinary people in a world driven by power and wealth, with the rocking horse representing the elusive aspirations often beyond their reach.
