Plot
Inspired by his father Siddegowda's toxic masculinity, Rama becomes a chauvinist and his life takes a turn when he falls in love with Shivani, but she leaves him after being a victim of his consistently toxic traits. After his mother Kousalya's death, Rama decides to transform himself and marries Muthulakshmi, an alcoholic with a serious baggage and a girl chosen by Kousalya.
Rama's new phase of life with Muthulakshmi makes him realize the mistakes which he made in the past, where he begins to cure Muthulakshmi of her alcoholism. Muthulakshmi leaves for a party with her old friends, where Rama also arrives and finds that Muthulakshmi's friend Nishan was mixing drugs in Muthulakshmi's drink, which became the reason for her alcoholism.
A scuffle ensues and a drunk Muthulakshmi knocks Rama with a glass bottle, where he is admitted to the hospital. Enraged about the attack, Siddegowda files a complaint against her, but Rama withdraws Siddegowda's complaint and makes him realize his past mistakes.

An important subject has been dealt with sensitivity."[15] A. Sharadhaa of The New Indian Express wrote "The cinema breaks away from the typical style, presenting a fresh and unique storyline. In an industry frequently criticised for promoting male chauvinism, the director takes a distinctive perspective by portraying the idea of a 'real man' from a woman’s viewpoint."[16]
