In the sun‑drenched streets of Puducherry, a young pianist is chasing perfection through an unorthodox experiment. Krish, an ambitious concert‑goer, decides to blindfold himself to heighten his auditory sense, treating his own sight as a barrier he can voluntarily remove. The city’s vibrant cafés and narrow alleys become his silent rehearsal rooms, where every keystroke reverberates against the hum of everyday life, hinting at a world where art and obsession intertwine.

A chance collision with a passerby introduces Julie, a warm‑hearted stranger who takes Krish under her wing. Their burgeoning romance provides a tender counterpoint to his solitary practice, yet the very act that brought them together also fuels his internal conflict: the temptation to look beyond the darkness he has embraced. As their bond deepens, the line between performance and reality blurs, and Krish finds himself navigating a delicate dance of trust and deception.

When a celebrated but retired actor, Karthick, invites the pianist to a private recital, the invitation feels like a step onto a larger stage. The intimate setting of Karthick’s home, shared with his enigmatic wife Simi and the shadowy presence of Manohar, hints at hidden layers beneath the polished veneer of fame. The atmosphere is thick with quiet tension, as the pianist’s feigned blindness places him in a precarious position—observing more than he lets on while striving to maintain his charade.

The film unfolds as a moody thriller, steeped in the atmospheric textures of coastal India, where the simple act of listening becomes a conduit for danger and intrigue. Krish’s journey is a study of how creativity can both shield and expose one’s deepest vulnerabilities, inviting the audience to wonder what lies just beyond the reach of sight—and how far a performer will go to protect the music within.
