Perplexed, and frustrated with life in Bombay's corrupt colleges, Lecturer Siddharth Archarya, decides to re-locate to a small town called Samaypur, where he feels he will get some satisfaction in teaching youngsters who are not influenced by politics. Alas, he is wrong. Student union rivalry and hatred has encompassed the entire town, fights break out frequently, mostly between two rival student leaders, Pratap and Rajbir, who are children of local political leaders, Harphool Singh and MLA Balli Tai. Siddharth decides to garner their energy in a positive way by making them renovate the college building - with disastrous results - and no hopes for a reconciliation. Things get even more complicated when both young men fall for a fellow collegian, Sundari, who wants to marry Pratap. It is then the parents of both Rajbir and Pratap meet secretly - and decide what their sons' and Samaypur's fate is going to be.

The music of the film is composed by Jeet Gannguli and Pritam while the lyrics are written by Chandrani Gannguli, Saurabh Shukla and Sanjay Swami.

Taran Adarsh of IndiaFM gave the film 1+1⁄2 stars out of 5, writing "Director Saurabh Shukla is a fairly good story teller, but he seems to have got confused midway, whether to make a realistic film or a love triangle, with songs aplenty. On the technical side, the cinematography is just about okay. Dialogues are well penned at places, especially the ones delivered by the two warring politicians".^[1] Subhash K. Jha of The Times of India wrote that "Though Mudda finally fails to have its say cogently there are sparks here to indicate a watchable directorial debut".^[2]
