A good person, someone who doesn't harm anyone, helps everyone in friends circle and to family members, and cannot tolerate wrongdoing in society.

Villan : Politician and his brother.

The story is a nightmare of our hero.



Anurag is a person who helps others without expecting money or any return (kind-hearted person).

He helps everyone in the family members. In his whole career, there is a misunderstanding happens between him and his cousin brother ( he is the only enemy in his story).

On the other hand, politician's brother (Varadharaju). A person who rapes a girl he likes and even murders her if necessary (heinous criminal). Because of him all the people who were close to me tried to kill me.

One day, by accident, I was taking a shortcut through a forested area when I saw a group of men taking a girl to a farmhouse in the forest.

Later, I witnessed one of them "enjoying" with a girl and then murdering her. I secretly recorded a video of the entire incident, planning to use it as evidence to get them arrested and jailed.

However, they saw me recording the video. Now, their plan is to kill me and take my phone to erase the evidence.

They have done this before - many people who tried to catch them red-handed were killed in different ways.

Now, they are plotting to kill me using people from my own circle. Why? Because it shouldn't look like a murder - it has to appear as a natural death.

Pavan is a serial killer here. In his first attempt to kill me, by God's grace, it failed.

He brought me a box of food, saying it was special desi chicken he had prepared for me, but he had mixed poison into it. While taking the box home, I had to stop at 2-3 places for work and accidentally forgot the box somewhere.

The next day, I was still alive because I hadn't eaten the food. Someone else found the box and ate the poisoned food, leading to their death. I don't know who that person was, as I had no relation to them, and I didn't know the food was poisoned.

So, the first attempt failed here.

Then, Srikanth, another cousin brother, tried. There's a story about how he attempted it.

The last attempt was by my brother-in-law, Nithin.

In reality, these characters are based on real people:

? Pavan associates with politicians.

? Srikanth holds a regular job and is below middle class.

? Nithin is a software professional.

Pavan tried to kill me because he was promised growth in politics, with an offer to become an MLA if he succeeded.

The next attempt was by Srikanth, my cousin, who is financially weak. He was offered money to kill me to improve his financial situation.

They tempted him with a promise of Aasha (a reward) if he killed me and took my phone.

At each stage, I managed to narrowly escape death, missing it by luck.

An uncle once told me that everyone who had died in this matter met their end after their last encounter with Pavan. This gave me a hint that Pavan was behind it all, and I started observing the people around me - Pavan, Srikanth - and realized they all had tried to kill me.

From the next day, I began wearing a helmet and driving around, avoiding detection. I also called Nithin, telling him that I was in a room near a location.

It was during the COVID-19 period, and hospitals closed by 6 PM, so even if there were emergencies, doctors wouldn't be available after 6 PM. This limited our movement, and we couldn't roam the roads freely during that time.

Nikhil, being somewhat educated, tried a different method. He used a ring with a needle inside it.

He filled the needle with poison and, during a handshake, injected it into my body.

I could sense it immediately.

"Something pricked me, Nithin? My whole body feels strange? Take out my bike fast!" I said, handing him the key and waiting outside the gate.

It was 5:40 PM. If I reached the hospital before 6 PM, I had a chance to survive. But he deliberately delayed taking out the bike, wasting 10 minutes.

Even with just 10 minutes left, he was riding at only 10 km/h. I had no other option - I couldn't take an auto or ask for a lift because, due to lockdown rules, no one was allowed to roam between 1 PM and 6 PM except for hospital visits.

When I asked, "Why are you going so slow, Nithin ? If we don't make it by 6, there won't be anyone to treat me. I'll die!"

He replied, "That's the point? If you submit that video in court, my best friend's life is over. That's why I agreed to kill you."

I was shocked. He injected me with poison just to protect his best friend.

He added, "That's why I did it? I always treated you like my own brother. But I had no choice."

I grabbed him, crying. "I never expected this from you, Nithin?"

He also started crying, saying, "I'm sorry, in law ? I did it for my bestie."

They were offered high positions? They were offered money?

So, they all tried to kill me.

And in the end, Nithin, my own in law, killed me - for the sake of friendship.

I had only 1-2 minutes left to live.

Instead of revealing what happened, I just wanted to talk to my love one last time? I called, but she didn't pick up. And in those final moments, I died.

At one point in the story, my one and only enemy helped me in the process of uncovering the real serial killer.

Moral of the story:

The people we trust the most are often the biggest threats.

The ones we call "ours" turn out to be our enemies,

And the ones we think are enemies turn out to be our well-wishers.

As the end titles roll, the highlights of the entire story flash for just a second.

And finally, the movie ends with me holding onto Nikhil, crying.

Everyone in the theatre walked out in tears.
