When i stream a full video from cache, the header response gives me the cache-status: HIT but whenever i seek the mp4 file i.e http://url/test.mp4?start=33 , the Cache-status changes to : MISS . Does that mean, the proxy server is again downloading the same file after the 33 seconds ?

Since default proxy_cache_key has $args in it, your second request has a different cache key, so the 
file is downloaded again.

Moreover the mp4 module does not work over proxy cache.  That means even if you fix the cache key issue
mp4 seeking will not work.  You need to have a local mp4 file to be able to seek mp4 like that.
