The Veera, the old tiger king of Mahovann, is planning to retire from the throne of Mahovann.

What follows is an unfortunate episode that leads to Veera sending his trusted friend and lieutenant Bhairav to prison. Bhairav’s son, the mighty Taranath, who believes injustice has been meted, seeks revenge.
Under the guidance of Daaga the fox, Taranath imprisons Veera’s son Ustaad and sendsUstaad’s mate Sultana and their cubs into exile. Daaga and Taranath scheme to eliminate the entire tiger family. Does Taranath succeed in his plans? Will Ustaad break free from prison? Will Sultana save her cubs? Who will emerge as Mahovann’s saviour and rescue the creatures of the great forest from the dark age brought on by Taranath and Daaga?
It is a story about the triumph of goodover evil. It is about the choices we make in a moment of anger. It is about the difference between justice and revenge. It is about the cost of ‘winning at all cost’. It is about self-belief, confidence and facing up to insurmountable odds.
