Ahimsa
Raghu (Abhiram Daggubati) is a farmer in a remote village and a follower of the principle of Ahimsa (non-violence) taught by Mahatma Gandhi, so much so that even when his girlfriend Ahalya (Geethika Tiwary) — who also happens to be his first cousin — calls for help after being molested, he delivers a moral lesson to the perpetrator in the importance of respecting women.
