Abstract:

"The model couple have a child who gets diarrhea because the villain cuts off their access to tube-well water. They use oral rehydration solution (both packet-type and homemade sugar-salt solution when they cannot find packets in the market.) The villain and his henchmen try to kill the hero in a fight, but he turns out to be quite a 'kung-fu' expert and wins. He ties the villain to a tree where in the last scene a crow defecates on his face."
