Plot
Bharath Kumar (Prajwal Devaraj). Bharath, who works in an electronics showroom, suffers from a rare disorder — sleeping beauty syndrome, which is said to occur in one among a million people. It makes one fall asleep for 18 hours a day, leaving just six hours for the rest of their activities, including work. Chikki Chikki Chikkappa, Chochlategintha sweetappa... Chikki Chikki Chikkappa, nidde enda ellappa, these sweet lines, often told by Varu, his brother's daughter, help him chase conman Johnny (Prashanth Siddhi), who abducts the child (Aaradhya). In a parallel track, the film explores the ova scam involving a mafia dealing in human egg cells. The film starts on a slow note, establishing the various characters, Bharath's family, the company he works at while handling his sleeping disorder, and the many challenges he faces as a result of his condition. In between all this, he also finds love in Tapasvini (Nishvika Naidu), a dietician. Her parents are trying to find her a match, and she finds a suitable groom in Bharath. However, the latter is not ready to reveal his health issue, due to a fear of losing her. An untoward incident reveals the truth to Tapasvini. She initially distances herself from Bharath, for not opening up to her, only to return to him later. The reason for her decision forms one part of the story. On the other hand, the plot brings to light the embryo trade. Bharath has to dig deeper into the circumstances around his brother's (Pranav) accident, with the help of inspector Shivmurthy (Sanchari Vijay) and doctor Swaminathan Rai (Arjun), only to uncover some startling truths. How this 'gentleman' goes on to take revenge leads us to an action-packed climax.
