The film "Vastupurush" tries to reinterpret the myth of Vastupurush (the guaridna
spirit of the house) in today’s time. It is believed that the guardian spirit is the
eternal witness of good and bad deeds of the family. The spirit receives the
boons and curses on behalf of the family members for generations.

It is the story of a doctor, Dr. Bhaskar Narayan Deshpande born in a traditional
Brahmin family, receives Magsassey Award for his achievements in the field of
preventive medicine in the slums of Mumbai. After living in Mumbai for forty years,
he decides to return his native village and build a hospital at the place of the ruins
of his home, just to appease his family’s guardian spirit. Her mother makes
Bhaskar understand that his feudal Brahmin family has done a lot of injustice to
the so-called lower castes and the Vastupurush has received curses for
generations.
