Andhhagadu 2017

Gautham, a blind orphan who works as a radio jockey, spends his days searching for an eye donor and hoping to find a soulmate. He falls for an eye specialist, Netra, and tries to win her by acting like a normal guy. After a few funny missteps, she grows fond of him too, but when she discovers the truth about his condition, she ends the relationship. Heartbroken, Gautham decides to look for someone even more special than Netra.

Netra arranges a donor for him, and his sight is restored in a rush of relief and wonder. Yet soon after, he begins having mysterious dreams every night, a sign that his life is about to take another strange turn. In a comic twist, he finds himself falling for Netra again, this time without knowing who she truly is, while she plays along by pretending to be silent due to voice-detection quirks. The moment of truth comes when a rift between them gradually fades, and the hidden identity surrounding Netra starts to unfold.

Enter Ranjith Kulkarni, a man who claims to be Netra’s father and tests Gautham with a series of peculiar challenges—exhausting medical exams, a hundred nonstop rounds on the ground, and even an extreme act involving removing the brakes from the vehicle of Assistant Commissioner [Dharma]. He invites Gautham to his home to seal the match, and there Gautham unexpectedly discovers that [Dharma] is Netra’s father, a revelation that leaves him stunned and unsure what to believe.

Netra then reveals a shocking truth: Kulkarni died two months earlier, and his eyes were transplanted into Gautham. The revelation expands into a deeper history: Kulkarni’s soul is that of a sincere journalist who was murdered by the ruthless Pantham [Babji]. Bound by vengeance, he pushes Gautham toward Babji, but the living Gautham resists the plan. To uncover the full story, Gautham shares everything with [Dr. Ashish], and asks him to remove his eyes if needed.

[Dr. Ashish] is an ally within Dharma’s circle who believes Gautham’s tale and digs deeper. He soon learns that Kulkarni is more than a victim of fate; his past is tied to a business endeavor, and the truth unfolds with a startling clarity. The flashback reveals that, in childhood at the blind school, Gautham formed three soulmates who also underwent eye transplants. On the return journey, they witness Babji committing a brutal murder, the very act that drives Kulkarni’s fatal motive.

Gautham, fueled by this knowledge, engineers a path of revenge, while Babji kidnaps Netra, forcing a dramatic confrontation. In the climactic showdown, Gautham defeats Babji in the name of Kulkarni, reclaiming his own sense of justice. The story ends with a wedding between Gautham and Netra, a moment of joy that is tinged with the chilling presence of Kulkarni’s soul. On their first night together, that restless spirit appears once more, reminding him that vengeance, and the truth it hides, may never truly be laid to rest.
