Where did you watch this movie?

This exquisitely crafted drama delves into the unusual events in the life of Vishal Krishnamoorthy (Mohanlal), a musician who has attained international fame on account of his symphony 'Rhythm of Love'. From the point where Vishal attains international repute, this mysterious tale takes us back on a journey into his past, when certain unseen forces make him solve certain mysteries surrounding Angelina Ignatious (Jayaprabha), the lady who runs the college from where Vishal was once expelled. Angelina was once in love with Maheshwar (Vineeth) who is a blind musician and who disappeared after saying that he would return with his mother's consent for their marriage. But he never came back and Angelina went on waiting for him. .And it is in this context that Vishal, who had made a rather unsuccessful musical album or two, is brought in to do a musical play for the students of the college. Two students, especially Sneha and Manoj are doing the lead roles in the play, which rather coincidentally, tells the story of Angelina and Maheshwar. Sneha, who is an admirer of Vishal's music, becomes intimate with him. In the meantime, Vishal and Sneha are taken into an unusual world of spirits, mysterious occurrences that could provide vital clues into the reasons behind Maheshwar's disappearance.
