==Plot==
The film is a narrative which emerges through five different timelines and geographies within the state of [[Karnataka]], encapsulating the lives of four people with a familiar friend and their love lives while sending across a strong message relating to the ordinary person. Four individuals, each with their own dreams and aspirations, get framed for crimes they did not commit and land up in jail. First, Hakki Gopala ([[Prem Kumar (Kannada actor)|Prem]]) who is cheated and sent to jail. Second, Krishna Rao ([[Diganth]]) who is blamed for the murder of his pregnant friend Maria ([[Priyamani]]). Third, Surya Shetty ([[Vijay Raghavendra]]), who is dragged in a false murder case and fourth Mohammed Anwar ([[Prajwal Devaraj]]), who is blamed for a bomb blast. They all are linked with their friend Manjunath ([[Chikkanna]]). They meet a school teacher Vishwanath ([[Kashinath (actor)|Kashinath]]), who not only shows them hope but also stirs up a passion towards reform. He reveals that he had a daughter Ramya ([[Manvitha Harish]]), who loved the son of MLA Krishnamurthy ([[Avinash]]). This angers Krishnamurthy and gets Ramya raped and killed, and blames Vishwanath for it. The four decide to help Vishwanath in his objective.

The story takes place in the cities of [[Bangalore]] in 1986, followed by 1995 in [[Mysore]], 2000 in [[Mangalore]] and 2007 in [[Bijapur]]. The present-day is depicted in 2017, in the Central Jail of [[Bellary]] and ends in the [[Suvarna Vidhana Soudha]] premises in [[Belgaum|Belagavi]]. It ends on a happy note as Vishwanath is proved innocent, but the four heroes are shot by commandoes in the end.

Whereas tear eyed Pushpa ([[Aindrita Rai]]), Gopala's girlfriend now grown old, Bhoomika ([[Bhavana (actress)|Bhavana]]), Surya's girlfriend and Gowri ([[Deepa Sannidhi]]), Anwar's girlfriend watch it with utter disbelief.
