Olacharandi Purana

A dangerous pothole outside his house pushes Lokappa, a retired government employee, into a relentless and often absurd fight against civic negligence and public apathy. Armed with complaints, petitions, unsolicited advice, and a stubborn sense of duty, Lokappa becomes the self-appointed guardian of a road everyone complains about but carefully avoids fixing.

While his family dismisses him as outdated and overly dramatic, the neighborhood slowly turns into a stage of darkly comic encounters politicians making empty promises, residents inventing bizarre shortcuts, opportunists exploiting the chaos, and citizens treating the pothole like a permanent landmark. But beneath the humor and satire, unsettling disturbances begin to shake his son’s understanding of the city and the truths buried beneath it.

Blending comedy, surrealism, and sharp social commentary, what begins as a story about a pothole gradually transforms into a powerful reflection on civic responsibility, collective memory, and the invisible truths we choose not to confront.
