Redu is the story of Tatu and his family living in a humble village in Konkan, set in the early 1970s. Tatu, a short-tempered, irate middle-aged simpleton, is fascinated and curious to see a ‘redu’, a small portable radio, for the first time in his life.
Serendipitous circumstances allow him to possess a ‘redu’. The gadget makes his ordinary life full of excitement and fun. People in his village start looking at him in a different light. It ups his common status to a special one. Tatu gets very attached to this ‘redu’, the newest member of his family, and everything it brings with it. A sudden loss of his prized possession leaves Tatu disheartened and dejected. Refusing to accept this altered reality, Tatu embarks on a quest to reclaim what once belonged to him. Redu is a humorous bittersweet story of one man's life, love, values, and his will to go on despite the odds, set against the spectacular backdrop of rural Konkan.
