Kantara

In 1847, a King is happily living with his family and empire but what he does not have is peace and goes to search it at various places. He comes to a tribal village where he sees Daiva which could offer him peace but he has to give some forest land to the tribal people in order to seek peace. The King agrees but the tribals warn him that Daiva's family will follow their deity and if anyone goes back from their word it will lead to wrath. Many years later in 1970, the village is living as per the word of the King by performing Bhootha Kola festival where the deity turns a temporary God and tries to solve village problems but the current successor of the King has become greedy and wants the land back. In 1990, 20 more years later, it's revealed that the King's successor who tried to take the land back died a mysterious death. Shiva, a troublesome villager is the current successor of Bhootha Kola but refuses to do it since twenty years back he saw his father disappear while doing the act. Murali, a forest officer, tries to convey that the village land comes under forest and anyone objecting and breaking rules will face the brunt, while he also objects to Kola festival. But Shiva who works for Sahib, current successor of the King, objects to Murali and a rift is created between the two. While Murali and Shiva are thirsty for each other's blood, they realize a shocking truth that they all are scapegoats in a plan.
