Plot

Muddulakshmi

Muddulakshmi, a sweet and dark-skinned woman, endures prejudice because of her skin colour. Doctor Dhruvant, a cardiac surgeon, falls in love with her and they marry. Her mother-in-law, Soundarya, first opposes her, but she is eventually accepted. Meanwhile, Dhruvant's coworker Sharvari adores him and attempts to separate Dhruvant and Muddulakshmi so that she can marry him. Muddulakshmi becomes pregnant shortly after, and Sharvari twists Dhruvant's mind by alleging that it is not his kid and that Muddulakshmi has had an affair. Dhruvant accepts this and begins to mistrust Muddulakshmi. He becomes enraged and confronts Muddulakshmi, leaving her and her family stunned and heartbroken. Dhruvant is sceptical of Muddulakshmi's claim that it is their child. While Soundarya is determined to bring them together, Sharvari plans to keep them apart.

After eight years, Srishti and Drishti meet and become close, unaware of their relationship. This causes Muddulakshmi to meet Dhruvant and his family, and Dhruvant and Muddulakshmi to frequently disagree. While Soundarya is determined to bring them together, Sharvari plans to keep them apart. The plot revolves around Muddulakshmi and Dhruvant reuniting after a DNA test reveals that Srishti and Drishti are their offspring. Soundarya discloses that Drishti is Srishti's twin sister, and that they are both Muddulakshmi and Dhruvant's offspring. Drishti notices a lady fainting from thirst while driving. She assists the lady in getting home. She notices Srishti's photo in the lady's residence and inquires about it, learning who she is. She believes she was adopted in this manner.

The climax depicts Dhruvant, Muddu, Srishti, and Drishti taking a journey to Chikmagalur where they have fun while Srishti is fascinated by driving a car. Srishti begins driving aggressively on a hill, and Muddu reluctantly joins the car in the absence of Dhruvant and Drishti. Drishti begins to worry after the automobile loses its equilibrium, and Dhruvant boards the vehicle to save his daughter and wife. Even though the danger has passed, his automobile collides with a rock and goes off the cliff, killing Dhruvant, Muddu, and Drishti, while Srishti, the sole survivor, loses consciousness.

Muddumanigalu

Drishti manages to survive the accident, but little did she know that Srishti also managed to survive with the help of a local couple. Growing up, Srishti forgets her past due to accident trauma and fails to recognise Drishti and Soundarya's presence after several years. Needless to say, destiny brings them together when they marry brothers within the same family.
