Spoilers ahead

Opening with tension, the film opens as a gang is led to the prison for execution, and the vigilant Inspector Chalapathi [p-ravi-shankar] warns the warden to stay on high alert. The atmosphere is tense, and the weight of impending justice hangs heavy as the law closes in. In the midst of this, Indian Express investigative journalist Abhivyakti “Abhi” begins a painstaking reinvestigation, challenging the official narrative and insisting that there was little to no circumstantial evidence, no fingerprints, and no semen tests to confirm the alleged rape and murders. Her relentless pursuit of the truth sends her through a web of secrets that the case seems to conceal.
