Radhakrishna Kumble

Ananya goes boar hunting with his cousin Giri and a mute plantation worker, Kaada. They accidentally kill a tiger and decide to smuggle its claws and skin. To avoid forest patrols on their way home, Anayya instructs Kaada to take a different route. However, Kaada is caught by forest guards. Ananya, to ensure his own safety, denies being with Kaada when Kaada’s son seeks help for his father's release. The story unfolds as Ananya struggles to retrieve the claws and faces the man he once looked down upon, leading to a reversal of power dynamics between the two.

Shiva, a tribal vagabond lives with his mother in hamlet, stays away from the traditional Daivaradhane and Bhoota Kola legacy due to an unforgettable childhood incident. He is happy loafing around with his friends and doing petty jobs for his landlord. When Forest officer Murali enters the scene, it gives a fresh dimension to the man-vs-nature fight. Can Shiva save the forest from Murali? Or is Murali just a dummy bait cast by bigger fish?
