Storyline:

The story revolves around Jayarama (Shiva Rajkumar), a blind lift operator and caretaker in an apartment building in Bangalore. He is dedicated to supporting his family, particularly for his sister’s wedding. Jayarama has a close relationship with Krishnamurthy (a retired Supreme Court Judge) who resides in the same building.

As the plot unfolds, Krishnamurthy reveals that he had previously imprisoned a man named Vasudeva for a crime he did not commit, which led to devastating consequences for Vasudeva’s family. When Krishnamurthy is found dead after a wedding celebration, Jayarama becomes the prime suspect. The real murderer, Vasudeva, seeks revenge against Krishnamurthy and uses Jayarama’s blindness to his advantage.

Jayarama must navigate through the challenges of being blind while trying to prove his innocence and uncover the truth behind the murders. The film culminates in a suspenseful cat-and-mouse chase as Jayarama confronts Vasudeva and strives to protect himself and his loved ones.
