Film story

Eight-year-old Chintoo lives in a lively and upper-middle-class neighborhood with his parent. With his best friend, Pappu, as well as Mini, Raju, Baglya, Neha, and the toddler Sonu, they are the unbeatable 'Wanarwede Warriors'.[4]

As kids, Chintoo and his gang made big plans for their much-awaited summer vacation. They decide to beat their rival gang, Vinchoo biters, by making Wanarwede Warriors strong enough to even win the world cup. They practice hard and convert a barren piece of land into their very own 'Wanarwede stadium.' The match starts as planned.

Guru, a rogue, forcibly enters that space on the same day and sets up a small Chinese eatery; Akki, Watchman Sakharam's son. is supposed to run it. Since 'the stadium' is intruded, the children protest against this intrusion, but no one cares. The adults are happy to get easy access to Chinese food. No one except Colonel Kaka objects to this illegal entrant and his illegitimate business in the housing complex.

Losing their original land to play on, the children try to find space to play cricket but always end up being scolded by adults. They try to get their stadium back and make the adults understand their struggle. All their attempts fail until Chintoo, the mastermind comes up with the idea of making a Chinese dragon that Guru worships so that he will get scared and leave. The Wanarwede warriors are later joined by the Vinchoo biters to defeat their common foe. In the end, Chintoo and his friends earn back their ground after their parents realize how important the ground is to them. [5]
