Shaktimaan Returns
Twenty years ago, after a tragic incident, Shaktimaan vowed never to don his mantle again. But today… after two long decades, India’s greatest superhero must return — stronger, wiser, and more powerful than ever before. Because this time, the threat doesn’t come from evil…It rises from the very forces of good themselves. The protectors who once stood as the shield of humanity have now turned into its greatest danger. And now, there’s only one name that can stand against their wrath — Shaktimaan. After twenty years, he must rise once more —for the people, for humanity, for the fate of our planet.

An ancient protector named Mahatma has turned against humans after seeing the planet’s destruction. To stop him, Shaktiman must find five mystical jewels called manis, each linked to the powers of Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, and Space. Guided by Mahaguru, he learns that real strength is not only about fighting, but also about healing.
