The core plot of the movie is based on a short story which had earlier been an inspiration for two English movies - the 1946 movie The Man Who Dared and the 1956 movie Beyond a Reasonable Doubt. The 1983 Telugu movie Abhilasha , in spite of being based on the Telugu novel of same name, was reported to be similar to these movies.[2]

Plot

The movie is about a reporter who concocts a false case so as to get himself convicted for first degree murder so that he can prove that the death sentence can be given based on circumstantial evidence and that it be done away with. However, by the time he is out of the prison proving his innocence, his father is falsely arrested in another murder case and is awarded a death penalty!
