Sabhash (2000) – Full Plot Summary & Ending Explained

Read the complete plot breakdown of Sabhash (2000), including all key story events, major twists, and the ending explained in detail. Discover what really happened—and what it all means.

Srinivasan, known as Seenu R. Parthiban, is the loving husband of Shanti Divyaa Unni. Seenu is blind, having lost his eyesight in a past accident.

One day, Seenu and his friend Dharan Viswanath Ranjith discover that Shanti has hanged herself in the house.

With no strong suspects, the police close the case as a suicide. But soon, evidence surfaces pointing to the possibility that Dharan Ranjith is behind Shanti’s death, including Dharan’s shoe at the site of Shanti’s cremation. He resolutely maintains that he is innocent, while Seenu too believes him initially. However, as the story progresses, Seenu becomes convinced that his wife has been murdered and starts to suspect Dharan. Meanwhile, Dharan begins to suspect that Seenu is not really blind. Dharan, along with his friend Advocate Mohan Mohan Raman, sets up traps to prove that Seenu is not blind.

A series of flashbacks shows that Seenu and Shanti were happily married, but Dharan was also in love with Shanti. Seenu did have proper eyesight, but a car accident rendered him blind. Dharan took advantage of the fact and started troubling Shanti, while she tried to stay loyal to her husband.

Seenu underwent a surgery without informing Shanti or Dharan to restore his eyesight, and came back home to surprise his wife, but he noticed Dharan being physically intimate with Shanti. So Seenu decided to pretend to be blind.

Eventually, Seenu admits to Dharan that he was pretending to be blind only to trap him and hold Dharan responsible for Shanti’s death. He convinces the police inspector Daniel Thomas and the court that Dharan is guilty, and Dharan is arrested. But Dharan insists the court test Seenu’s eyesight to prove his point that Seenu is not blind.

With no choice left, Seenu deliberately blinds himself again by staring at a bright light from a welding torch, and is hence proved innocent. Seenu meets Dharan in jail, where Dharan secretly has a voice recorder. Seenu seemingly admits that he got Dharan arrested, and Dharan claims to have recorded the full conversation. But Seenu reveals that the recorder has no battery in it, so Dharan cannot prove anything. The movie ends with Seenu leaving the jail to start a new life, while Dharan angrily yells at Seenu, but to no avail.
