The show combines the old-world charm and warmth of India with new-age sassiness and fun! Learning the ancient martial art form–Kalaripayattu – the Kalari Kids reside in the enchanted jungle of Kalaripuram full of magical powers.
The cool kids train in two schools, one led by Guru Palan and the other by Guru Veta. Team Guru Palan with Beenu, Meena, Shyam, Unni and Ami are often pitted against Team Guru Veta with Raaka, Dhaana, Mani, Lekha, Langot and Monster. While Guru Palan believes in bringing the best out of his students with light hearted methods, valuing their age and innocence, Guru Veta believes in a rigid military form of training.
