Chapekar Brothers Plot 

The plot starts with brothers who are shown originally from Chapa, a tiny village near Pune, India, called Chinchwad. A Special Plague Committee headed by Walter Charles Rand was established by the government in 1896–1897 when the bubonic plague struck India.

The brothers were appointed as clerks in the committee, which gave them an opportunity to learn and acquire the English language. They moved to Bombay (now Mumbai) in 1903 and started their own printing press. They launched the first edition of their newspaper, the Kesari (meaning "Lion"), in March of that year. The newspaper was initially published in Marathi, but soon expanded to include English and Hindi editions. They started their own publishing house, Lokmanya Press, which published books in various languages, including English, Marathi, Hindi, Gujarati, and Sindhi. 

They later established a printing school to spread awareness about printing technology and educate the public about it. This endeavour was successful and the brothers soon established two other newspapers, Mahratta and Navakaal. 

Soon they started a weekly magazine, Dharma and a monthly magazine, Sudha. The Lokmanya Press was eventually taken over by the Kalyan Printing and Publishing Company, which was founded by the brothers. The brothers, who had become stalwarts in Bombay's literary and journalistic circles, were deeply involved in the Indian freedom struggle. They were both members of the Indian National Congress and Bal Gangadhar Tilak.

The plot takes a twist when the Chapekar brothers and two associates were accused of murdering two informants and making an attempt to kill a police officer. The movie ends with both brothers being convicted and executed by hanging.
