==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
Siddarama is a 10 year-old intelligent slum dweller, who lives with his mother, working in an [[agarbatti]] factory to make ends meet. One of Siddarama&amp;#039;s pranks leads him into [[Prison cell|lock-up]], and his mother requests help from Gooli Prathap/Kaala Pratapan, a pimp who runs a [[human trafficking]] business and also has political ambitions. Once Siddarama is released, Pratap sets his eyes on Siddarama&amp;#039;s mother. Siddarama is also a huge fan of [[Puneeth Rajkumar]] and bunks classes in order to see Puneeth&amp;#039;s [[film shooting]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the shooting, he also gets a chance to interact with Puneeth and share his [[Scrapbooking|scrapbook]]. Later, Siddarama is in [[juvenile prison]], whose warden is very strict, where he develops good relations with his fellow inmate Johnson; it is Johnson who sees Siddarama&amp;#039;s potential to achieve big in life. Siddarama is encouraged by Johnson and gets selected to &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Karunada Kotyadipathi&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, hosted by Puneeth and being a step away from winning {{INRConvert|1|c}}.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the show, Puneeth meets [[Defence Research and Development Organisation|DRDO]] scientist Mahadev Ghodke, who requests him not to take the show further as Siddarama is the one who murdered his son. Shocked, Puneeth tells that it is not in his hands to do so. Mahadev expresses his unhappiness and walks away. Mahadev devises a plan to kill Gooli Prathap/Kaala Pratapan by devising a [[bomb]] and also reaches Pratap&amp;#039;s cabinet office with the bomb. At the same time, Puneeth asks Siddarama the final question, which he is unable to answer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Siddarama uses the Phone-a-friend option and calls Mahadev to help him with the answer. Without any prejudice, Mahadev gives the right answer, where Puneeth reveals about Siddarama&amp;#039;s involvement in the murder of Mahadev&amp;#039;s son. Distraught, Siddharama reveals that he didn&amp;#039;t kill the boy and that Gooli Prathap/Kaala Pratapan&amp;#039;s henchmen had killed the boy where he is forced by Gooli Prathap/Kaala Pratapan and his henchmen to take the blame. After learning this, Mahadev leaves the office, and the bomb detonates killing Gooli Prathap/Kaala Pratapan and his henchman, who were checking the contents of the suitcase. Mahadev then adopts Siddarama as his own son.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;#039;&amp;#039;The Times of AP&amp;#039;&amp;#039; rated 4.5 out of 5 stars and elaborated &amp;quot;Mythri is a strong script about the life a junevile. Focusing on the dreadful social problems, Giriraj has wrote a wonderful story.&amp;quot;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;It is for the first time Puneeth Rajkumar is seen as an actor in a movie. Mohanlal is at his best in his character, Mohanlal and Veda Sastry&amp;#039;s pairing up as a couple is feast for the viewers.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Mythri is a full package. It has good cinematography and very well written screenplay. The movie gets a ‘thumbs up&amp;#039; for its technical aspects.&amp;amp;nbsp;Mythri has been successful to show the cruel reality of the society. Overall, Mythri is a best movie which ends with a special and a strong message to society&amp;quot;.

And called it &amp;quot;A bond that lasts forever&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;There is no masala elements, and yet Mythri is not an art film that was made for awards. It is silver screen magic in its truest sense that does not treat audience as dumb people who seem to be in need for superlative stimulants&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;Giriraj chooses his subjects and characters well. Unlike regular commercial film-makers, he shows reality in human form. Giriraj deserves all the applause for his conviction and narrative style. This one is a total delight&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news|url = https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/entertainment/reviews/Movie-Review-Mythri/articleshow/46315285.cms|title = Movie Review: Mythri|last = Shyam Prasad S.|date = 20 February 2015|agency = [[Bangalore Mirror]]}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[The Hans India]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; called it &amp;quot;A very realistic take on life showcasing present day challenges.
