Plot

The story begins on the backdrop of a remote island that goes by the name of ‘Kurunadu’. True to its name, the inhabitants of this place have no clue as to what is happening outside and where the world is heading. The reason for this is the Brahmin Shankara Bhatta (Dattanna) who has an iron grip over the place and he has his own motives. He does not want a bridge to connect the island to the outside world since that would encourage influx and damage the environment and also his grip would be lost. However, all his glory changes with the arrival of his new daughter in law, the beautiful Suruchi (Lakshmi) who hails from the city and is well educated. In no time, she realizes what is happening and much to the anger and dismay of Shankara Bhatta and family, she reaches out to the tribals and starts bringing about a change in them. Shankara Bhatta is agitated by this but then as fate would have it, he is attacked by an illness. Suruchi enters the scene and with the help of tribals she restores his health
