Raja Rameshchandra Bhupathi is a territory ruler, and the public adores him as a deity. However, his wife, Rani Indumathi Devi, is on edge due to Raja's ignorance as he enjoys frolicking in life. Meanwhile, Dr. Seshagiri, motivated by malice towards Raja, is appointed as his Doctor. He harbors lust for Rani and molests her under sedation. After that, Doctor ploys by addicting Raja to slow poison, then slyly shifts him to the beach house, where Doctor slays him. Plus, by menacing Rani, he silently performs cremation. Due to its heavy rainfall, the corpse drives away. Astoundingly, he is alive and safeguarded by a bunch of saints but under amnesia. Parallelly, the Doctor clutches the authority by muting Rani and creates mayhem in the estate. On the Saint's guidance, Raja lands at his estate. Ergo, the Doctor, edicts to slay him when he retrieves his memory. Here, his ailing forces are blissful. They pledge to retrieve his honor and call for the Enquiry Commission. During the trial, the Doctor intimidates Rani, but Raja is on the verge of triumph when Rani speaks out. The Doctor fires while Rani is wounded guarding Raja. At last, the public stamps out Doctor, and Rani leaves her breath in her husband's lap. Finally, the movie ends with Raja Ramesh passing on his journey as a saint, entrusting his totality to his men.
The music was composed by K. V. Mahadevan. Lyrics were written by Acharya Aatreya. [5] [6]
