Chennabasappa is a rationalist, who is more like an atheist and doesnt believe on anything thats beyond sensory perception. He is a hardheaded fellow who is bossy at both office and home. As the story progresses, we see Uma behaving strangely. She would speak something of Chennabasappas unspeakable and totally unknown dark past. During one such revelation, the family members come to know that Chennabasappa had seduced Baswas wife while he was a teenager. Baswas wife got pregnant and jumped into a well to save herself from taunts.Chennabasappa tries every medication and treatment that would bring Uma back to normal, but nothing works out. Unfortunately the family also becomes the target of several fake exorcists, who start milking them with their evasive talks but do no good to hapless Uma. In one such instance, the family is fooled by a Tantrik Puttachari Amrish Puri, who actually tries to harness Umas virginity to resurrect his own devil. However his plans fail when Nandish interrupts in between and saves Uma. ........
