‘Wake Up India’ is the story of a village girl, Anjali (Sai Tamhankar), who stages protest against the system, when cops refuse to lodge a complaint against the 75-year-old Chief Minister, who allegedly raped her. She claims that the chief minister has raped her.
Police inspector Babulal refuses to register Anjali's FIR as he fears his job. Undeterred Anjali visits the police station again, this time with her lawyer, Shivam but the police office still fearing the wrath of the minister refuses to change his stand on registering the FIR. After being shunned by the police again Anjali and her lawyer approach the media, however, the result is the same, none of the media houses are ready to accept the story for the same reason as the police.
The accused minister, on the other hand neither denies, nor reacts to the allegations, while the girl and her lawyer (Chirag Patil) stick to their statement. The scandal sends the media and various political parties into frenzy. Mahila mandals and opposition party members add fuel to the fire, while the ruling party members curse the CM, fearing they might lose power due to the controversy. But what comes as a surprise is that the girl is not speaking truth and then follows a series of events about why she lied.
