Paan Singh Tomar is an untold true story of a simple farmer, a loyal soldier and a champion athlete who became one of India's most dreaded dacoits. Paan Singh was a small town lad who went on to win the steeplechase at the Indian National Games for 7 consecutive years. He broke the national record, a feat that was unsurpassed for 10 years. A series of life changing events however forced Paan Singh to give up athletics, pick up the gun and become the scourge of the infamous Chambal valley in central India.
