Tendlya is a drama set in the 1990s, a period of transformation in Indian society as it aspired to step into the 21st century. During this era, cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar had become a household name, inspiring millions across the nation. Against this backdrop, two youngsters from a remote village in Maharashtra embark on a journey to chase their dreams. Gajya, a 23-year-old driver struggling to make ends meet, once dreamt of becoming a cricketer but had to abandon it due to life’s hardships. Yet, his passion for the game drives him to save for a color TV to watch Tendulkar play, a rare luxury in rural India. Meanwhile, Tendlya, a 13-year-old schoolboy, dreams of playing cricket like his idol but faces repeated failures. Their intertwined stories reflect the aspirations of countless Indians, highlighting the power of resilience, hard work, and determination in overcoming obstacles.
