The story revolves around the turbulent life of a Carnatic
vocalist, JKB, whose only passion is music. KB’s
greatest strength is the finesse with which he etches
each character. Here too, the entire ambience of the
world around JKB is brought out in a realistic manner.
The body language of the musician and the accompanists
like the mridangam vidwan(Delhi Ganesh) or tampura(Janakaraj)
and the unique, clubby milieu of the musicians gives
an insider view. Sindu, the young woman shares the same
enthusiasm for music and after initial diffidence, JKB
accepts her point of view.
Their friendship deepens
and when their relationship touches a new high, troubles
crop up. She decides to move away from JKB for which
he does not relent. When she does tear away, he finds
himself lost and unable to concentrate on his music.
Enter the villains who desecrate his stature by enticing
him to alcohol. His patient wife, Bhairavi puts up a
brave front and finally acts as the sane voice in the
sentimental climax. The barren Bhairavi acknowledges
the love child of Sindu and JKB. JKB resumes his musical
journey.
