Synopsis
Season 1
The series follows the life of Reena (Deepa Balu), the estranged daughter of renowned general surgeon Radhi (Anumol), starting from her acceptance into the surgical residency program at the fictional RK Hospital. The hospital was established by RK (Jayarao), whose son Arjun (Charukesh) becomes Reena's love interest. During her time as an intern, Reena works alongside fellow physicians Teju (Yogalakshmi), Naveen (RG Ram), Rocky (Sabaresh), Guna (Sarvhaa), and senior interns Anitha (Padine) and Ravi (Guru Lakshman), who each struggle to balance their personal lives with hectic schedules and stressful residency requirements. During their internship, they are overseen by Radhi, who works with attending physician Ramanathan (Giri Dwarakesh).
Season 2
Season 2 opens with Radhi adjusting to life outside the hospital after stepping away from her duties, while Reena struggles under the new leadership of Arjun, the recently appointed CEO. The arrival of new junior doctors, including Teju, Kiran, Guna, and Rocky, adds a fresh dynamic as they begin their training under high expectations.
Tensions rise as Reena and Arjun clash over hospital policies, particularly the unfair workload imposed on nurses. Meanwhile, personal relationships complicate professional life: Radhi tries to support her daughter Divi and estranged husband Dev, while also navigating her strained bond with Teju.
Tragedy nearly strikes during a case involving conjoined twins, revealing both the emotional and medical complexities the doctors face. Eventually, Arjun is left with no choice but to ask Radhi to return to the hospital. Encouraged by her children and her own sense of purpose, Radhi reclaims her role, guiding the team through a critical surgery.
