Amar is a young man, who wants to fulfils his father Shankar's dream of becoming a [[lawyer]]. Years later, Amar becomes an alcoholic lawyer working for famous criminal lawyer named CH Vishwanath and meets Swati, a junior lawyer and Vishwanath's daughter. | |||
A flashback reveals that Amar had loved his childhood girlfriend Anitha, but she leaves him without any reason, thus Amar wants to kill Anitha. However, It is revealed that Anitha actually loved Amar, but sacrificed her love due to Shankar's request as Shankar doesn't want Amar's [[career|career-ambition]] to be spoiled due to Amar's love for Anitha. When Anitha is mysteriously thrown from a [[construction|under-construction]] building and is in coma. The [[police officers|officials]] pinpoint on Amar, who is arrested by the police and is awaiting punishment from the court. Shankar reveals about Anitha's sacrifice which leaves Amar heartbroken and realize his mistake about misjudging Anitha. | |||
The next day at the court, Amar escapes from the cops and seeks his friends and Swathi's help to sneak Anitha out of the hospital. They embark on an investigation and check the CCTV footage with Swati's help where they find Amar's friend Daisy, who is a [[sex worker]] and enquires her only to learn that the culprit was at the hotel, They check the [[Hotel manager]] who arrives at the resident named Ramesh's house, who booked the hotel's room but finds Ramesh, along with Daisy dead. They also enquire Anitha and Amar's common friend Sheela where they learn that Anitha wanted to meet Amar for reconciliation, but was too late as the culprit had sent her to coma by pushing her from [[construction site]]. | |||
They enquire a wedding [[videographer]] who was at the hotel and finds that Anitha was waiting for her. Sheela calls Amar to reveal that the culprit has arrived. Amar arrives at Sheela's house and produces the culprit to the court where the culprit reveals himself as Lakshman and accepts his misdeeds where Amar is exonerated from the charges and is proven innocent. While leaving for the prison, Lakshman is shot dead by Anitha's father. Amar calls Vishwanath to have a [[chit-chat]] where Amar reveals that the culprit was actually a scapegoat and reveals that Vishwanath's son Arjun is the main culprit. Vishwanath had learnt about Arjun's misdeeds and is determined to protect him and blamed Amar for the murder and ask the culprit to finish off the eyewitnesses, who knows about his son including Anitha. | |||
When Vishwanath ask about Arjun, Amar tells him that he killed Arjun and thrown his body in a [[landfill|dumping yard]], thus avenging Anitha's injustice. Swathi, learning of Vishwanath and Arjun's misdeeds is disgusted and begins to loathe them. The film ends with Amar living with his friends in their hill house and is seen talking to Anitha (though she is mentally unstable). | |||

Sunayana Suresh of ''[[The Times of India]]'' rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "The film is definitely worth a watch for those who love commercial cinema.
