Mahadev is one of the few educated young men from Sajjanpur. His
ambition is to be a novelist but finds it easier to make a living by
writing letters sitting next to the post office. His ability to write
persuasive letters makes him popular with the largely non-literate
population of the town. Aware of this power, he soon uses his talent to
manipulate people with amusing and sometimes not such amusing results.
With
this as the narrative frame, Welcome to Sajjanpur shows in an
entertaining, musical and comic way, characters and events that are at
once hilarious and poignant. A delightful satirical take on a
contemporary Indian village.
