Story outline:-

First Asian Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore, is still revered as an icon in India. On 24th March 2004 his Nobel medal was stolen from Shantiniketan in Bengal, where it was housed in his residence turned museum. Subsequently a nationwide furor started and a massive search operation was put in place to find the guilty. Ultimately the medal was not found and the Central Bureau of Investigations (CBI) dropped the case in 2010. With this in the backdrop “Nobel Chor” (The Nobel Thief) is a fictional account of a poor farmer, Bhanu, who circumstantially gets involved in the theft. He decides to embark on a journey to the City of Joy- Kolkata, to return/sell the prize with a view to improve his own quality of life as well as that of his impoverished village. He becomes the hope of the entire village. On arrival in the city, Bhanu encounters myriad experiences with crooks, strange memorabilia collectors, entrepreneurs who want to exploit the poor man who just has a simple of dream of being able to give his son a better future and uplift the state of his impoverished village. Nobel Chor is the story of this journey through which the film explores contemporary India at its fullest- the encroach of globalization, the rural-urban divide and the state of India’s villages. More importantly it is a trenchant exploration of the relevance of Tagore’s philosophy in modern India.
