Family Ornaments

Manu and Priya's ardent love story unfolds, delving into the depths of their emotions. Manu goes to great lengths to fulfill his promise, and their love faces a profound transformation when destiny triggers an unexpected turn. Manu is an innocent, simple man and a car driver to a business tycoon Shankregouda. His lover is a college student, Priya. She has a passion for singing and she dreams of living in a beachside house with Manu and her family. Manu wants to fulfill his lady love's dream. One day, Preetam, the son of Shankregouda, drinks and drives, resulting in the death of a man. To save his reputation, Shankregouda requests Manu to take the blame on himself and admit the same in the court trials. In return, Shankregouda would bail Manu out and give him anything he desires. Thinking that he could make enough money for the beachside house if he does according to Shankregouda, Manu accepts before the judge that he is guilty, much to Priya’s disapproval and plea. With the assistance of Shankregouda's lawyers, efforts are made to bail Manu out. One morning, Shankregouda dies of a heart attack. His manager, Prabhu, who is greedy and corrupt, suggests to Shankregouda's wife that she not waste money on Manu as it was Shankregouda who had promised to help Manu, to which she agrees. Now Manu has neither the money nor the power to help himself. Meanwhile, Priya, desperate to free Manu tries contacting Shankregouda's wife, lawyer, and Prabhu. But everybody ignores her. She sells some of her ornaments, hires a new lawyer for Manu's case. She even quits her education to earn money. In the jail, Manu is being beaten up by Soma and his gang because he doesn’t have anyone (Shankregounda) to back him up anymore. Because of this, he has a tough time. He later joins Patila and his team in weaving. There are subtle moments of love expressed between the couple in jail through cassette tapes and meetings. Though Priya seems fine whenever she meets Manu in jail, she was slowly losing herself and getting depressed to the point where she stopped singing. Seeing this, Priya’s mum visits Manu in jail and tells him to let Priya move on. Guilty, Manu writes a letter requesting Priya to let go of him and marry someone else as it was not possible for him to be released anytime sooner, and to never stop singing. Priya, in denial, kept visiting the jail to meet Manu but he never showed up. After an emotional turmoil, Priya gives up and agrees to marry someone else. Without knowing this Manu, not being able to take it longer without Priya, somehow ends up calling her only for her brother to pick up the phone and let Manu know that Priya is getting married. On her wedding day, Soma gang break the radio that Manu used to listen to Priya’s cassette messages. Having given up everything, Manu revolts back and gets severely beaten up. Towards the end, there is a teaser shown of the sequel movie where Manu gets out of jail 10 years later. Here he goes out for revenge and to find Priya again.
