Plot
The story unfolds in a jail cell. Chenna (Naveen Krishna) is set to be hanged the next day for having murdered a person. He regrets that his friend (Mohan), father (V. Manohar) and teacher (Dattatreya) blame him for the present situation, though they couldn't guide him properly and allowed him to become a thief. As the jailor (Suchdnera Prasad) walks into the cell with a death sentence, Chenna questions the need for the punishment, saying that witnesses play an important role in it. The intense interaction manages to convince the jailor that capital punishment can be done away with, but then he's forced to go by the rulebook. At the gallows, Chenna recounts why he murdered a married man, which brings to light the subject of child abuse.
