Spoilers ahead

Eeswar Chandra Prasad Prabhas is the pampered son of Ram Murthy and Santhamma, spoiled by a mother who wants nothing but to keep him safe and sheltered in their village. His father pushes for him to find a steady job, while Santhamma’s overprotective love makes Eeswar resistant to leaving home. When Murthy dies, the balance shifts: Eeswar must confront life in the city to honor his father’s last wish, and his estranged path is shaped by a street-smart friend named Basha who drifts between humor and danger as a petty pickpocket. Despite his best efforts to stay in the shadows, Eeswar’s longing for comfort collides with a harsher world, and the search for Basha becomes a trail of misadventures that sets the stage for a brutal, larger-than-life transformation.
