Varmaa (2020) – Full Plot Summary & Ending Explained

Read the complete plot breakdown of Varmaa (2020), including all key story events, major twists, and the ending explained in detail. Discover what really happened—and what it all means.

Varmaa Vasudevan is a brilliant yet volatile medical student whose sharp intellect often clashes with a volatile temper, earning him the dean’s ire and the begrudging respect of his juniors as a notorious college bully. After a fiery brawl with a friend during an inter-college football match, the dean delivers a blunt ultimatum: apologize or leave the college. Varmaa initially chooses exile, but a chance encounter with a first-year Malayali student named Megha changes the course of his life, pulling him back toward the campus he’s about to abandon.

From that moment, the bond between Varmaa and Megha grows in fits and starts. They cross delicate lines as he asserts that his love for Megha is exclusive, even as the dynamics of their relationship stretch under pressure. Megha, who is initially wary of Varmaa’s brash demeanor, begins to respond to his intensity, and the two souls drift closer until they share a private, intimate connection. Megha becomes a beacon in Varmaa’s world as he graduates with an MBBS degree and sets his sights on a Master’s degree in orthopaedic surgery, carrying their fragile romance into a new phase.

Over a span of about 15 days, their relationship strengthens, and the couple dares to imagine a future together. Yet happiness is short-lived. Varmaa’s visit to Megha’s home ends in heartbreak when her father, who disapproves of Varmaa’s volatile temperament and the caste difference between the two, rescues Megha from his kiss and tosses Varmaa out. The tension between love and tradition escalates quickly: Megha’s father demands that Megha choose within six hours, or the relationship ends for good. Megha’s parents seize her phone to sever contact, leaving her cut off from Varmaa just as their bond faces its most testing ordeal.

When Megha manages to visit Varmaa, she discovers him in a vulnerable state—drunk and capable of self-destructive acts. In a desperate moment, he injects morphine into himself and collapses, leaving Megha to watch as she is forcibly married to someone from her caste. Varmaa learns of Megha’s marriage from Ashok and races to her house, only to be assaulted and arrested for making a scene. The blow is another devastating setback: Varmaa’s father throws him out of the family home, distraught at the damage to their reputation.

With Ashok’s help, Varmaa carves out a new life in a rented flat and joins a private hospital as a surgeon. To dull the ache and cope with his spiraling emotions, he descends into temptations—drugs, fleeting encounters, and alcohol—while attempting to project an aura of success. He even buys a dog, naming it after Megha, a lonely reminder of what he’s lost. Months pass, and Varmaa becomes a high-functioning, fiercely feared surgeon whose relentless pace and emotional detachment alarm the hospital staff and management alike. His self-destructive habits threaten to derail everything he has built.

Ashok grows increasingly concerned about Varmaa’s inability to move on. He arranges for Varmaa to form a connection with a patient, Raiza Wilson, a leading film star, hoping a no-strings attachment might help channel his energy. Raiza falls for him, but Varmaa halts the relationship when she opens her heart, revealing her feelings—an encounter that underscores the emptiness behind his bravado and his fear of genuine connection.

A crisis finally tests Varmaa’s ethics and his career: during a life-saving surgery, he pushes through exhaustion but collapses from dehydration. A hospital check reveals alcohol and cocaine in his bloodstream, and the chief files a formal case against him. In a candid in-house hearing, Varmaa accepts responsibility for violating professional ethics, and his medical license is canceled for five years, followed by eviction from his flat. The moment of professional ruin coincides with a personal reckoning as Ashok delivers the news of his father’s death; the two men reconcile, and Varmaa begins to abandon the self-destructive patterns that have haunted him.

In the quiet that follows, Varmaa begins to rebuild, leaving room for a hopeful future. Then, in a poignant turn of fate, he spots Megha—now pregnant—sitting in a park during a vacation. He approaches her upon his return, and Megha opens up about her remarriage: she left her husband soon after the wedding and kept working in a clinic. She shares the most hopeful truth of all—Varmaa is the father of her child. The revelation reshapes everything, and the couple chooses to reunite, embracing the possibility of a life built on forgiveness, resilience, and an even deeper bond that survives the worst storms.
