Plot

Karthik is a software engineer in Hyderabad who does not like to visit his hometown due to the issues he has with his father Burayya's attitude towards life. Burayya is frequently unwell and bedridden, relying on handouts from friends. In his childhood, Karthik lost his college seat due to his father's inability to afford it. Hence, Karthik decided to leave his hometown and study in hostels, which fostered a resentment towards his father's decision to help others in need when he himself has no income. Karthik also does not get along well with his childhood friends Subbu and Hari, but they still regard him as a close friend. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Karthik returns to his hometown for remote working. While Karthik begins to accept his friends' company, his conversations with Burayya remain limited.
