Four boys work in the KR Market as load carriers. They have a friend in the market named Puttakka. The boys work for Puttakka at her vegetable shop in the market. The four boys who grew up as orphans are brought up in the market. The boys fall in love with school girls. Under various circumstances they befriend a school girl who looks ugly but is good at heart. Later it is revealed that the girl is studying in the hostel because their parents are divorced and no one is ready to take care of her. The eldest among the four boys named appu falls in love with a school girl. With the ideas of their friend he meets the girl at the market when it is revealed that she is the daughter of Puttakka. With guilt the boys won't meet Puttakka for few days. The market is closed for few days due to lorry strikes taking place in the market. The boys sleep hungry because of this. Puttakka comes with her daughter and feeds the boys. She says them to make something for their living. The boys decide to do that and start to sell discarded vegetables at cheaper rates. Puttakka sees this and appreciates them. But she doesn't want then to do that. She takes the boys to the market chief and asks for a principal amount at interest to set up a business. The boys plan what business has to be done but won't get a suitable idea. The girl suggests them to start a hotel at the market. The next day when Puttakka and the boys go to the market chief then he says that he won't be able to give money to them but they can use the free space in the market which he used to use as a godown for free. The business goes well and the group earns a lot of money from the hotel. But the business goes dull when the chief's people use the place for drinking and other malicious purposes. This angers the boys and the boys hit the chief's people in the market among the crowd. Later Puttakka and the boys go to the chief to ask for forgiveness. But the chief wants the boys to be hit by his men in the market to restrain fear of him among the people. He says Puttakka to stay in his house and sends the boys with his men. When the boys are being beaten the two girls come to the place. The chief's men start to go towards them. Then the angry group hit the chief's men and his their head who is the brother of the chief.

Reception

Critical response

Padma Shivamogga from Vijaya Karnataka wrote "Big budget movies can look colorful to the eyes. However, the freshness of this film is mesmerizing. Watch this movie to know other dimensions of entertainment". [7] Ganesh Vaidya from Prajavani says "Background music (Sadhukokila) and songs (music directed by Rajesh Ramnath) are nothing special. On the whole, the question is how much praise should be given to the director who brought it to Kannada without much change so as not to spoil the original film". [8] Sunanya Suresh from The Times of India wrote "This film is definitely a good watch for those who do not want excessive build-ups and instead presents an earnest tale that connects with the heart".
