Pavitr Prabhakar, a young boy from a small village, moves to Mumbai with his Aunt Maya and Uncle Bhim in hopes of a better life. Struggling with poverty and societal pressures, he finds himself in a situation where he is granted mystical spider-like powers by a yogi. These powers come with a heavy burden, as Pavitr soon learns that with great power comes great responsibility. He must now protect his loved ones and the city from the evil forces that threaten to tear it apart, including the powerful demon Rakshasa, who represents a twisted version of the classic Spider-Man villain, Green Goblin. As Pavitr embraces his role as Spider-Man, he faces numerous challenges that test his strength, morality, and willpower.
