Plot

It is a topical crime thriller wrapped around a domestic misunderstanding melodrama. The film addresses real estate-related crime (a controversial subject in post-liberalisation Bangalore) as represented by a North Indian villain named Juneja. Madhav (Ambareesh), a lawyer with a mission, makes an enemy of Juneja when he refuses to take him as a client. At home, his wife Meera (Sudharani), pathologically sensitive to disturbing news, gets Madhav to promise to refuse dangerous cases. They help Meera's friend Hema (Tara) by hiring her for his office, but Meera suspects an affair and becomes jealous. Eventually, both the crime story and the domestic story find a joint resolution.
