This Malayalam thriller follows a small amateur theater troupe as they stage a play examining how society views women, while an actress named Anjali navigates being sidelined into support roles despite her talent. When a newly joined film actor's fame brings the group attention and money, jealousy grows among the members, and after a celebratory party Anjali alleges she was assaulted while asleep, setting off a fraught debate within the group over belief, evidence, and self-interest. The film examines how the troupe's internal politics, rivalries, and fear of losing a major opportunity shape their response to her accusation.
