==Plot==<br />
''916'' focuses mainly on the relationship between a single father, Dr. Harikrishnan ([[Anoop Menon]]), and his 12th grade daughter Meera (Malavika Menon). It narrates the events of two closely knit families losing their balance; Harikrishnan's, and Dr. Ramesh's (Mukesh), his wife ([[Meera Vasudev]]) and their two children. While Dr. Harikrishnan is an altruist who considers his profession a means to serve society, Dr. Ramesh thinks otherwise. Prasanth ([[Asif Ali (actor)|Asif Ali]]) appears as a romantic interest of Meera, leading her astray into the world of [[Shopping mall|mall]]s, [[cellphones]], and the [[Internet]]. The movie comes to a twist when Meera goes missing.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/report/south-review-916/20121112.htm | title=Review: 916 is very preachy rediff.com}}</ref><br />
