With the help of a young girl, the animals of an Indian village try to put a stop to the horrors committed against them in Ram Ramakrishnan’s Animalese. 

Deep within a remote forest in Central India, a village finds itself in disorder. As the humans and animals experience its ill effects, debris from a passing comet falls into the village lake, infusing its waters with a mysterious power that enables those who drink from it to communicate with other life forms. 

Deciding to exploit this ability to set matters right within the village, the animals, along with the assistance of a village girl named Vennela, focus their efforts on the principal architect of their woes: local abattoir owner Ganju Hindolba. 

Can Vennela and the animals possibly win against the likes of a shady business owner?
