Plot

Adhiyamaan (Natty), a young middle class office goer, is a contented man who lives with his loving wife Mithra (Ananya) and adorable son Arjun (Ashwanth) in a multi-storeyed apartment. Life goes smoothly for Adhi until one day, he unknowingly falls in dreaded gangster Marudhu's (Lal) trap.

The latter's little son has a malfunctioning heart, and doctors say he can only be saved with a heart transplant. But the problem is to find a donor matching the boy's age and blood group. Marudhu sends his henchmen out to check various hospital records to locate a suitable kid. Arjun's stats match his son's needs. So he decides to kill Arjun and harvest his heart for his son. Thus begins a survival drama, which largely takes place within an apartment complex. How Adhi uses his wits to save his child forms the rest of the story.

Critical response

Both the Deccan Chronicle and The Times of India gave the film two-and-a-half out of five stars. The Deccan Chronicle praised the performances of the cast and criticized the screenplay, saying that "However, had he had a tauter screenplay and closed all logical loopholes, the film would have made a difference".[2] Similarly, The Times of India criticized the predictable screenplay and wrote that "But the biggest issue is how reveals the surprises in the name of foreshadowing. Rather than subtly introduce these elements into the plot, he underlines the moments".[3]
