PlotEdit

Chami (Rahul Madhav), a travelling musician who is a bit of a wanderlust, arrives at a palatial coffee estate owned by Mythili (Radhika Chetan), ostensibly on vacation. He is fond of Mythili's niece Pranjali, and grows close to the members of her extended family as well, who manage the homestay for Mythili. He conveys his love to Mythili, who is reluctant to accept his proposal, since a failed relationship with her lawyer Niranjan (Raghu Mukherjee) had caused her immense heartbreak in the past. However, despite her misgivings, she agrees to marry Chami.

On a night when the staff members of the homestay are on leave, Mythili is found murdered with trauma injuries to her head. The shadow of suspicion immediately falls upon Chami who was the only person present at the crime scene. Chami implores Niranjan to defend his case, which he does. Niranjan's sound arguments result in Chami being acquitted of the murder charge and him inheriting the estate. However, after examining the evidence, Niranjan soon discovers that Chami had planned and executed several murders to snap up the inheritances of young women who died heirless. He decides to appeal against his own arguments and requests a re-trial. Eyewitness evidence proffered by Pranjali, who was clandestinely present when Chami brutally murdered Mythili clinch the case in the favour of the prosecution. Chami is convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment, while ownership of the estate passes on to Pranjali.
