Sahasra and Priya determination into the spare country successful Satvik’s rented portion, convincing the traditional, orthodox Ramaswamy that they are moving successful conscionable for convenience until they find different job. One day, Sahasra sings ‘Bhagayatha lakshmi baramma’, portion scouring the nett for jobs. Satvik sings on with her. Priya (S. Aishwarya) dances to Satvik’s jatis. Dream 2 begins here.

They repaint the dull shop, and it becomes a gully with the young and old. With income soaring, Ramaswamy is simply a blessed man. But the set decides to determination retired of his location and halt playing successful his shop, due to the fact that they are present successful large demand. They rent a ample office, judge bookings and person nary clip to telephone their own. But occurrence brings with it friction and ego clashes. The set yet realises that arsenic agelong arsenic euphony remains a soul-satisfying art, it brings peace. But erstwhile it becomes a commercialized quest, naturally, each the problems of immoderate commercialized task surface. The prime is theirs — bash they privation to spell commercial, oregon not?

R. Gayatri arsenic Sahasra was terrific, with her singing and her droll banter. The creation segments — classical, modern and people (including kavadi and silambam) were well-choreographed by Shruti. Music by Dakshin, who happens to beryllium the grandson of euphony manager V. Dakshinamurthy, was delightful.
