Raghunath Paleri had penned the screenplay for the film. Vidyasagar composed the original score and soundtracks for this movie, which receives huge praise from the audience even today.
The film revolves around the life of Vishal Krishnamoorthy, who endured expulsion from college for playing the musical instrument known as Seven Bells—an offence for which he was not guilty. His brilliant and promising future was derailed by the incident.
The principal of the college extends an invitation to him years later to oversee a musical event that will be presented there. Returning, Vishal sets out to solve the riddle of the Seven Bells, which he says can play by itself.
