A riveting expedition into parallel realities and evocative emotional bonds
Hejjaru is rooted in the treatment of the parallel lives concept, where similar incidents unfold across different eras. At its core is the story of Rajaram (Gopal Krishna Deshpande), who grapples with profound loss following the tragic death of his beloved during adolescence in 1965. His relentless quest for answers leads him to intersect with Bhagat (Bhagat Alva), born in 1995. The narrative traces Bhagat’s life from his childhood in 2005 to the present, revealing parallels with Rajaram’s own experiences.
A pivotal aspect emerges when Bhagat’s life mirrors Rajaram’s in unexpected ways, particularly in his relationship with Janaki (Shwetha D’Souza), affectionately known as Jaanu. Despite their mutual feelings, Janaki, an orphan, faces unwanted attention from Bhupathi (Vinod Bharathi). Meanwhile, the manipulative and corrupt police officer Dharma (Muniraju) and village thug Devi (Naveen Krishna) bring further complexity to Bhagat’s journey.
