+A confused film abstractly bemoaning
+communal violence but actually more
+concerned with the victims of police violence.
+After losing her parents in communal riots,
+Sriranjani (Kushboo) seeks refuge in Ooty
+where she meets Kesavan (Mukesh), who is
+recovering from being jilted. Kesavan is
+involved in a car crash and Sriranjini is
+abducted by a stalker, Reddy (Nasser), a fan of
+her music. Kesavan eventually manages to get
+to Hyderabad, searching for Sriranjini, while a
+pair of young lovers they befriended obtains
+parental permission to stay together, allowing
+them to join in the search for Sriranjini amidst
+the communal riots besetting the city. Sriranjini
+and Kesavan, eventually united, witness how
+the police, mistaking the young lovers for
+rioters, brutally murder them, allowing the film
+to end badly while detracting attention from
+the issues involved in communal violence. The
+title refers to the jasmine flower, but its design
+in the film and on posters scored off the word
+‘jathi’ (caste).
