Sathya has come up in life the hard way, as he lost his mother when he was a small boy, and his father was framed and arrested on criminal charges. Sathya, unaware of his father's innocence, takes custody of his five young sisters. Sathya's father, Bhadra, was cheated by his brother-in-law, who poisoned his sister's mind to leave her husband, but she committed suicide later, and her son Sathya is left with his five sisters. Sathya takes care of his sisters well and educates them, but they are under his strict control, and anyone who plays foul with them faces his wrath. He finds himself in trouble because of this tough character. Meanwhile, Sathya's father is released from prison and now wants to take revenge on his brother-in-law, but the latter joins hands with some villains who want to settle scores with Bhadra and his son.

==Reception==<br />
''Rediff'' wrote, "Both Vishnuvardhan and S Narayan had huge hits like Aaptha Mithra and Mourya respectively to their credit before they came together for Varsha. Thankfully, Varsha does not belie the expectations it had raised. The film has everything in the right proportion -- emotions, comedy and action. And the product is supported well by its technicians and cast".<ref>{{cite web|title=Varsha lives up to its expectations!|url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/2005/apr/22varsha.htm|work=rediff.com|access-date=2013-10-18|date=22 April 2005}}</ref> S. N. Deepak of ''[[Deccan Herald]]'' wrote "The story moves smoothly in the first half with comedy episodes and later sentiments and action scenes take over the second half. Vishnu as the “elder brother” suits his role. Ditto for Anu Prabhakar. Srinivasamurthy, Komal and Doddanna steal the show. Sunil’s character though a small one, brings the lead characters together in the climax."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.deccanherald.com/deccanherald/apr242005/movies1527552005423.asp|date=24 April 2005|access-date=1 March 2025|title=Varsha|first=S.
