Chowka Plot Summary
What happens in Chowka from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 13 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
Hakki Gopala is cast into a web of accusations in 1986 Bangalore, blamed for the brutal killings of his gangster mentor Jayaraj’s rival Sathyaraj and a police sub-inspector. The truth, however, points to Jayaraj himself as the one who carried out those murders, leaving Hakki to bear the fallout of suspicion and danger.
In 1995 Mysore, Krishna Rao becomes the scapegoat for the death of his pregnant friend Maria, a crime that was actually the work of his deranged neighbor. The misdirected blame haunts him, painting a picture of guilt he did not commit and pulling him deeper into a case that stretches beyond his control.
