Sinopsis / Synopsis
V. Devarajan es popularmente conocido como 'Olympic Deva' tras participar con 18 anos en las Olimpiadas de Barcelona' 92. A los 22 anos fue el No. 3 del Mundo en categoria peso-pluma. En 1994 gano la medalla de bronce en los campeonatos del Mundo de boxeo en Bangkok, convirtiendose en el primer boxeador indio en la historia en ganar una medalla en un Campeonato del Mundo. Anos mas tarde, es practicamente olvidado e ignorado en la India. Trabaja para sobrevivir como empleado ferroviario. Todos los dias por la tarde ensena boxeo a jovenes promesas con medios precarios y falta de apoyo del Gobierno e instituciones deportivas. Su pasion por el deporte es tal que ensena tambien boxeo a jovenes de castas desfavorecidas sin remuneracion alguna con el unico proposito que ganen competiciones nacionales y asi puedan ser admitidos en el Ejercito o en la Policia bajo la cuota de deportes del gobierno indio.
