As a consequence, Bulbul runs away without any trace. Rajni himself is a judge and his father the MLA, the whole administration starts investigating the case. Finally, when Rajni meets Bulbul his hopes turn upside down. His dream to live with his wife is completely shattered. The first three episodes are good enough but later it's cringeworthy and the climax is abrupt, long a...
