Desc: Merit Animal: Directed by Junaid Imam. With Mahesh Ghag, Baharul Islam, Reena Jadhav, Bhagyarati Bai Kadam. A cycle racing competition is being held on a hillside on the outskirts of the city. As the race is about to begin, one of the participants named Varun, whose age is 16 years goes missing. People start looking for him. On the other side, Varun finds himself in a remote village where there is no sign of any modern technology. Varun was spotted by a poor couple Meera (age 30) and Mohandas (age 38) in the village named Gunapur. As Varun gains consciousness he tells them that he doesn't remember anything about himself. The leader of the village suggests Varun stay in the village for a few days and send a person to the nearby city. Mohandas and Meera have a boy named Muniya who is very naughty. Muniya takes Varun along and involves him in all his plays and mischiefs. All this was quite new for Varun. Whenever Varun is asked to participate in a play, he takes it as a competition. Due to this approach, all other children begin to maintain distance from him. One day Varun was talking to a statue in the village. He mentioned that he is from a big city called Mumbai. His parents would regularly push him to get into merit. Last year one of his friends committed suicide under the pressure to perform. Varun's parent wants him to score highest in all the areas. He meets with an accident trying to meet their expectations. And he realizes, that in this mad race of numbers he is actually getting away from his childhood joys. In a few days the village festivals get started. During these festivals, people from the village would teach their children to learn the old traditional work style. There's a Bull's race being organized in the village. Looking at that race, Varun identifies himself as the Bull who is facing the hard realities of life. Varun's parent has been looking for him and they find him there in the village. Varun is happy to meet his parents. His parents inform him that the race in which he had fallen is happening again and he needs to participate in it. Varun starts to ponder. The bull owned by his friend Muniya finally wins the race. As the bull is being taken back, Varun offers a unique gift to the Bull from the field of education
