Plot Summary[edit | edit source]
Paarijatha Parvam follows Chaitanya, an aspiring filmmaker who struggles to secure support for his debut project. After repeated rejections from producers, he devises a desperate plan to finance his film: kidnap the mistress of producer Shetty in order to extort the money he needs.
However, Chaitanya’s plan quickly becomes complicated when another pair, Bar Srinu and Paru also attempt to abduct the same woman for reasons of their own. Their simultaneous schemes collide, creating a chaotic series of errors, misunderstandings, and comedic confrontations. The overlapping kidnapping attempts trigger a chain of unpredictable events, forcing each group to navigate escalating confusion and hidden motives.
As the story unfolds, loyalties shift and secrets surface surrounding Shetty’s personal life, blurring the lines between victims and perpetrators. Between the bungled plans and the clashing ambitions of the would be kidnappers, Chaitanya must confront whether his dream of filmmaking is worth the increasingly tangled web he has spun. Ultimately, the film blends dark humor with crime‑driven drama as it explores how misplaced ambition and desperation can spiral into absurdity.
