	==Cast==		== Plot ==
			{{no plot\|date=March 2023}}
			Ramu ([[Shankar Nag]]), an artists arrives to his friend's (Dr. Dayal) village. Dr. Dayal is a researcher. After finding his house strange, Ramu decides to stay elsewhere in another guest house which belongs to Naganna ([[Thoogudeepa Srinivas\|Thougudeepa Srinivas]]). He befriends Seetha, his neighbor. Dayal advises him to marry soon.

			Soon, Ramu falls for Seetha, and she reciprocates as well. One night, he sees Bhairava, Dayal's servant, carrying a dead body to Dayal's house. It is then revealed that Dayal is working on a research to [[Cryogenics\|bring back people from being dead.]]

			Seetha's father approves Ramu's request to marry her.

			In a fateful encounter, when cruel men try to [[gang rape]] her, Ramu arrives and saves her after which he cuts off their mustaches. On the day of Ramu and Seetha's marriage, Ramu is found dead in his house by his friend Dayal. Seetha flees to see him but she trips from the stairs and falls unconscious. When the police arrive to examine Ramu's body, he is nowhere to be found. After Dayal returns home, his servant says that, he retrieved Ramu's body and kept it in his lab. Dayal operates on him and removes his brain and keeps in a [[deep freezer]] for research purposes.

			Elsewhere, Seetha is devastated about Ramu's death. Soon, Seetha's father also dies due to heart attack, unable to see his daughter's suffering. Seetha loses her mental state, due to depression. Dr Dayal tries his best to convince her that Ramu is no more. But she attempts to commit suicide, and falls to the water from a great height. After rescuing her, Dayal performs [[brain transplant]] to replace Seetha's brain with that of Ramu, a procedure he has never experimented before. After several weeks, Seetha wakes up and is shockingly seen to be behaving like Ramu. She also reveals what happened that night: When Ramu was getting ready on his marriage day, a killer ([[Tiger Prabhakar\|Prabhakar]]) arrives and attacks him, who says that Muddanna, Linganna, Giriyappa, and Naganna bribed him to attack Ramu, to exact revenge. But the killer, stabs him and kills him.

			Seetha (aka ''Seetharamu'') decides to take revenge on the culprits. Seetha begins to act as Ramu, thus people think that the dead Ramu's spirit has possessed her. She mimics all of Ramu's actions. Ramu eventually takes revenge cleverly on all the 4 culprits and surrenders to the police.
