Plot:

Deva (Nihal) lives in a quiet village surrounded by forests and hills along with Meghana (Priya Deshapag). Known for his helpful and humble personality, Deva shares a close bond with the villagers and is always willing to support them during difficult times.

One day, Sathya (Arjun CH) and Kalyani (Kajal Tiwari) unexpectedly arrive in the village in an injured state. Deva takes care of them and offers shelter, but unusual situations begin to arise when the villagers claim they cannot see the pair at all.

As strange incidents continue to occur, Deva finds himself caught in a web of hidden truths and unanswered questions. Who are Sathya and Kalyani? Why are they invisible to the villagers? What secrets are tied to Deva’s past? And how are Veera (Naveenraj Sankarapu), Kotayya, and Ramaraju connected to these mysterious events? The film gradually uncovers these answers through suspense-driven storytelling.
