Following the failure of the megabudget
[[Nammavar]] (1994), Sethumadhavan returned
to his alternative arthouse image for this film of
Padmaraju’s story. The folk performer Paddalu
(Vijay) finds himself forced into petty crime
when he is culturally marginalised by the TV
and film industries. He is reformed by Rangi
(Rohini), but the two are plunged further into
illegalities, for which Rangi’s explanations
become increasingly surreal as she presents
them to the author, the only remaining
sympathetic figure.
