Plot
editNarasingha is a ventriloquist who lost his livelihood when the relevance of his art started to fade. He lives alone in a decrepit ancestral house, having separated from his wife. He has fictitious dialogues with people from his past, mimicking their voices with remarkable accuracy.
Resigned to life under the shadow of his memories, he breaks bread with a junk dealer, Keshto. Keshto presents him with an armchair, something he had always wanted. The armchair acts as a catalyst to transform his personality, restoring his confidence and bravado. However, the transformation comes at the cost of his sanity, leading to a series of misfortunes and unexpected turns.[16]
