It is 1856, the eve of the first Indian struggle for independence (The Mutiny of 1857). A British firm, "The East India Company" rules much of India; directly or indirectly through 'treaties of friendship.'
The kingdom of Avadh is under such a treaty of friendship with the British Company. Its ruler, Nawab Wajid Ali Shah, is an indifferent ruler, who prefers arts to the matters of state or politics. He is a poet, composer, singer, dancer and a choreographer.





Mirza Sajjad Ali and Mir Roshan Ali are two landlords living in the capital city of Lucknow. They too are part of the same culture and live off ancestral wealth and taxes collected from people.
They do nothing, and are addicted to the game of chess. They play as per the ancient Indian rules of the game, ignorant of a different kind of chess played by the British; both literally and metaphorically.
Mirza's wife, Khurshid, feels neglected.





The British are strengthening their grip on the country and are playing a bigger game of chess.
The king, Wajid Ali Shah faces a political checkmate.
Mir and Mirza learn about the British Company's troops marching towards Lucknow. Scared that they may be called to fight the British forces, they run off to a remote village to continue playing chess.
