Plot

The story begins on a rainy night when Kumara (Puneeth Rajkumar) and Natesha (Yogesh) escape from NIMHANS and enter Bangalore with their past actions unclear. They settle at Shishupala's (Sadhu Kokila) residence and find jobs in a petrol bunk. Bharathi (Bhavana) comes into Kumara's life. Her initial wrong belief about him changes as soon as she gets to know his kind heart when she sees him helping people in need (including her). She pursues him to take her as his girlfriend but he is not interested and warns her away due to his lifestyle. However, the residents of his neighborhood convince him that she loves him and is a good girl. He accepts her. Soon, love blooms between them. Kumara, along with his friends, starts a venture where customers can call and order a product such as groceries and the friends would buy and deliver them at a service charge. While distributing their venture's ads, they narrowly escape being spotted by a van with goons spearheaded by Ravishankar who are in search of Kumara and Natesha. Soon, their business grows well. This prompts Shishupala to give an advertisement about their venture in a magazine with their photo. But due to the advertisement, the goons come to their store to attack them. Within a few minutes, a childhood friend of Kumara, arrives in Bangalore and shares some news.

The goons convince everyone in Kumara's neighborhood that he's gone mad and is not mentally sound.  Kumara's old life is shown in the second half, and it is revealed that he is persuaded to be mentally ill because of his father and stepmother's desire for wealth. His mother, who also happens to be his father's first wife is mentally sound and healthy but suffers due to her husband who is with another woman and marries her. They frame Kumara's mother by saying she's mentally unsound. The film comes to an end after Kumara decides that he's had enough running away from the goons and decides to hit them back.

Reception

Critical response

A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 3.5 out of 5 stars and says "Girish Karnad impresses with his small but important role as a doctor. Music by V Harikrishna has some catchy tunes. Cinematography by M Sukumaran is amazing". [6] Srikanth Srinivasa from Rediff.com scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Harikrishna's background score is breezy and the film doesn't bore the viewer with unwanted songs. This movie is a neat family entertainer and worth a watch". [7] A critic from NDTV wrote  "Sukumar's camera work is excellent, while Guru Prasad's dialogues are funny and precise. Overall, it is an enjoyable film, which offers a lot of variety of entertainment". [8] Shruti I L from DNA wrote "Yes, there could have been less bloodshed and better music. Actors like Achyutha and Rakesh should also have been put to better use and the second half could have been crisper. But don’t make these your reasons to not watch the film". [9] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote  "The background music is loud and hampers a decent sleep while watching the film. The camerawork is better than most other aspects of the film. Sukadhare’s break from filmmaking has not worked for him or the audience". [10]
