The story begins in Mylapore in 1979 with Dass, a gaana singer who wants to challenge the perception that his community is associated with violence. He dreams of using music to spread "sindhanaiyum sandhoshamum" (thought and happiness) and becoming a mainstream artiste. However, the social restrictions of the time make it difficult for him to follow his ambitions.
The narrative then moves to 2026, where Jeeva gradually discovers more about his family's past. He comes to know about his grandfather Dass and his father Siva, whose musical ambitions were affected by the challenges they faced in life. The film connects their experiences while showing how their dreams were shaped by different circumstances.
