IMDb plot summary: Karthik hails from a poor farmer's family in a village near Tirupati. He works at an IT company in Hyderabad.

He quits his high-salaried job and returns to his village with an aspiration to bring back the lost glory to the farmers and agriculture.
Directed by Kishor B. Starring Sharwanand, Priyanka Arulmohan, V.K. Naresh, and Sai Kumar.
This is one of the less engaging Bollywood movies I've seen -- I'm definitely drawn more toward the more comedic films in that genre, and didn't find myself connecting with any of the characters. The film feels like it's here more to convey a message than tell a story, though the message is actually a pretty interesting one, about a return to farming in a world of high-tech careers. I was also fascinated by how the second act of the film actually takes place at the beginning of the rise of COVID, but it doesn't ever become *about* COVID, it's just another wrinkle for the characters to deal with as they pursue their primary goals. But all that message-heavy story leaves the movie pretty dry, and the song and dance numbers aren't all that exciting to draw us back into the story. It's all right, but it's not one of my favorites.
