Story - Akasmika
Prologue A vehicle drives up to a graveyard and a policeman emerges from within carrying a wreath. He walks up to one of the graves and pays his respects. The policeman is revealed to be Murthy (Rajkumar).
Act - 1
Murthy is in a train compartment with Indira (Geetha) and Vyasaraya (Vajramuni). Vyasaraya and Murthy start small talk about drama, music and stuff. Vyasaraya tells Murthy that he is taking Indira to a drama company. On goading from Vyasaraya, Murthy sings "Anuragada." Indira takes an instant liking to Murthy. Meanwhile Vyasaraya gets down the train to get some coffee, sees a man in a long coat and hides from him. He almost misses the train and luckily Murthy opens the door just in time to let Vyasaraya in. Vyasaraya tells Murthy that the man in the long coat is a pimp preying on unmarried girls like Indira. He asks Murthy to look after Indira until he returns and gets off the train.
The man (Inspector Rajagopal) in the long coat comes to Murthy and Indira and tells them Vyasaraya is actually the pimp and has made a living cheating innocent girls like Indira. Before Murthy can tell the cop about Vyasaraya he gets down the train and Vyasaraya reappears. This time he has a knife; Murthy fights Vyasaraya and tries to find Inspector Rajagopal but cannot find her. In panic, Indira gets off the train and so does Murthy. They try to find a place to stay the night in Traveler's Bungalow. Indira is impressed by Murthy's gentle behavior ("Ee Kannigu Hennigu," a dream sequence song).
Indira reveals to Murthy that Vyasaraya paid Rs.1000/- to her poor mother with the promise that he'll ensure that Indira joins a drama company. Indira asks Murthy to take her to her hometown of Navilukere near Sagar, as he wants to go back to her mom and two younger sisters. He agrees to take her to her hometown in the morning; unfortunately in the morning Vyasaraya and his henchmen attack Murthy who suffers a head injury. Vyasaraya elopes with Indira not to be seen anywhere.
Murthy is devastated and reaches out to Inspector Rajagopal to find Indira but with no luck. On screen are Murthy's mom (Pandari Bai) and his friends Sundar Raj, Umesh and Mandeep Rai.
Act - 2
Murthy is slowly trying to regain his life back after the Indira episode until he sees a drunk woman, Clara (Madhavi), driving her Premier Padmini on railway tracks. Murthy, being the gentleman as ever, finds out that she's staying in Gulmohar suite and drives her home. There he meets Clara's brother Anthony who reveals why Clara started drinking in the first place - Clara is engaged to get married to Reggie (Avinash). Reggie is revealed to be a drunk as well as womanizer who is caught cheating with Clara's best friend. This drives Clara to alcoholism. To ensure a change of scenery, Anthony brings Clara to Murthy's town (a hill station like Agumbe); but obviously the change has not worked as Clara is revealed to be drinking even during the day.
One day, Murthy comes to Clara's place looking for Anthony and they have an argument about the merits of alcoholism. Clara has turned out to become a misogynist - Murthy tries to change her mind ("Baaluvantha Hoove"). At the end of the song Clara realizes she needs to give up alcohol.
Clara and Murthy seem to take a liking to each other, but Murthy also has a hard time forgetting his past. Seeing trains always makes him depressed. During one of their many walks, Murthy reveals to Clara about Indira, and Clara is even impressed that Murthy has found a way to cope with his loss.
Clara and Murthy decide to get married. They have a Hindu wedding and head to Agumbe for honeymoon in a brand new Contessa ("Agumbe"). Clara and Murthy stand at a view point waiting to watch the sunset when Murthy runs back to their car to fetch a flask of coffee. The wooden railings, against which Clara is leaning, give way and she falls down the rock-face to her death, leaving a hapless Murthy behind. Murthy trudges down the ravine himself hoping to rescue her but to no avail. Murthy awakens in a hospital, surrounded by his mother and friends. He is informed of Clara's demise and there is a cut to the opening graveyard scene. His friends turn up, hoping to cheer him up, but Murthy tells them that he is doing fine. Life's vicissitudes have only made him stronger.
The film opened to packed houses across Karnataka for many months and won many awards and critical acclaim.
