The movie is about two groups of children and their love for sports. In a small town, two groups of children play cricket on its congested streets. The groups one called elephants and the other tigers. Both the groups are bitter rivals fighting for the little space they have amongst them.
A local landlord disturbed by this enmity between kids devices a plan to make them friends. He offers the two groups a plot of rocky land for their common playground, provided they get down to leveling it together.
Though overjoyed initially at finally having their own place to play, they are appalled at the thought of working with their rivals. Now, how they bury their enmity for a common goal formed rest of the story.
