== Plot ==<br />
Geetha, a pregnant widow, goes to a government office as part of her long and continuous ordeal to get money already sanctioned by the government, but kept on the backburner by officials of the concerned department. Tired of being asked for bribes, Geetha takes the violent route to get her due. The movie playes out like a game of chess. What seems to be a normal day of bureaucracy and corruption goes awry when she lands up with a bomb strapped to her stomach. <br />
