Plot

Shourya and Netra are in love, but their relationship faces opposition from Netra's father and uncle. Determined to be together, they plan to elope and travel to the UK. Before their departure, they stop at Netra's village to spend the night at the village temple. During the night, an attempt is made on Netra's life, and Shourya is wrongly implicated in the crime. The police take the case seriously due to Netra's father being a Member of Parliament (MP), and Shourya is arrested and interrogated.

During the interrogation, Shourya recounts how he and Netra met and fell in love. While receiving treatment for her injuries, Netra dies in the hospital. Shourya is taken to court, where he initially confesses to killing her, claiming that Netra had betrayed him by agreeing to marry another man and meeting him secretly. He fabricates a story, leading the police to Netra's uncle's factory, where they discover multiple bodies, including those of Netra's sister and her husband. Netra's uncle admits to the murders, citing political motivations, and is arrested by the police.

Krishna Prasad, a detective, concludes that Shourya orchestrated the entire situation, creating false stories to implicate Netra's father and uncle. He also deduces that Netra is still alive. Krishna Prasad decides to spare Shourya from mprizzing the girl, recognising that he ultimately did the right thing. In the end, Shourya and Netra are reunited and live happily.

Reception

Now Running awarded Shourya with 1.5 stars out of 5, writing "Dasaradh tried to deviate from his usual routine and tried some thing different. But in the process, he missed on working out any emotions that are needed for the audience to connect. Except for the honest attempt, there is nothing commendable in the film. Shourya will end up as one more disappointment for Manoj and Dasaradh". [13]
