Snakebite follows Rohan, a young American of East Indian descent, thrust into 1880s India after his father's tragic assassination. Ill-equipped with the language or cultural understanding, Rohan embarks on a journey filled with danger, mystery, and discovery in the cobra-infested deserts of Rajasthan. Holden's mission intertwines with that of the Maharaja and his family, particularly the spirited Princess Electrica, whose life is shadowed by a witch's ominous curse. As he navigates deadly encounters with assassins, struggles to tame a rebellious Marwari horse, and survives challenges to his resilience, Rohan's ingenuity and unwavering determination become his greatest assets. Amidst the backdrop of colonial India, Rohan forms an unlikely bond with Veeru, a Marwari horseman from Rajasthan, whose guidance proves vital in traversing the treacherous terrain and societal complexities. Sparks of forbidden romance ignite between Rohan and Electrica, threatening to upend both their lives amidst political intrigue and familial expectations. Blending elements of adventure, romance, and mysticism, Snakebite is a story of courage, love, and cultural collision, where one man's resilience challenges the rigid boundaries of tradition and destiny. At its heart, the film explores the power of music, trust, and perseverance in forging a path against past evils like the Visha Kanya and even today's honor killings.
