Spoilers ahead
Gopichand Verma is a retired judge of the Supreme Court who makes his home in the hill town of Ooty. He lives largely apart from his family, relying on his estate to support them, while his son KC and his son-in-law are tasked with keeping the vast property intact. Both seem to drift through life with little drive of their own, leaning on the judge’s resources rather than building independent paths. The distance between Gopichand and his kin sets a quiet, tense backdrop for the story, where respect for authority and the burdens of legacy rub against personal loyalties.
