Manu goes to great lengths to fulfill his promise and their love faces a profound transformation when destiny triggers an unexpected turn. Manu is an innocent, simple man and a car driver to a business tycoon Shankregouda. His lover is a college student Priya. She dreams of living in a beachside house with Manu and her family. Manu wants to fulfill his lady love's dream. One day Shankregouda's son Preetam drinks and drives, thus killing a man. In order to save his reputation, Shankregouda requests Manu to take this blame on himself and admit the same in the court trials. In return Shankregouda would bail Manu out and give him anything he desires. Thinking that he could make enough money for the beachside house if he does according to Shankregouda, Manu accepts before the judge that he is guilty. With the assistance of Shankregouda's lawyers, efforts are made to bail Manu out. One morning Shankregouda dies of heart attack. His manager Prabhu who is greedy and corrupt suggests Shankregouda's wife to not waste money on Manu as it was Shankregouda who had promised to help money. She agrees too. Now Manu has neither the money nor power to help himself. Meanwhile Priya, desperate to free Manu tries contacting Shankregouda's wife, lawyer and Prabhu. But everybody ignore her. She sells some of her ornaments, hires a new lawyer for Manu's case. She even quits her education to earn money. In the jail, Manu is being beaten up by Soma and his gang and has a tough time. He later joins Patila and his team in weaving. There are subtle moments of love expressed between the couple in the jail through cassette tapes and meetings. Manu requests Priya to let go of him and marry someone else as it was not possible for him to be released anytime sooner. After an emotional turmoil, Priya does accordingly. == Cast == {{Cast listing| *[[Rakshit Shetty]] as Manu *[[Rukmini Vasanth]] as Priya *[[Achyuth Kumar]] as Prabhu *[[Pavitra Lokesh]] as Priya's mother *[[Avinash Yelandur|Avinash]] as Shankre Gowda *[[Sharath Lohithaswa]] as Patila *Ramesh Indira as Soma *Gopal Krishna Deshpande as a prisoner *Ashok Sharma as a prisoner *Ashwin Hassan as a prisoner *Sunil Kulkarni as a prisoner *Rajesh S Rao as Priya's father *Havish Sreenath as Andy, assistant to music director Bhargava }} == Soundtrack == {{Infobox album | name = Sapta Saagaradaache Ello – Side A | type = soundtrack | artist = [[Charan Raj (composer)|Charan Raj]] | alt = | released = 2023 | recorded = 2023 | venue = | studio = 2bq Studios, Audiokraft Studios | genre = Soundtrack | length = 23:16 | label = Paramvah Music | producer = Charan Raj | chronology = [[Charan Raj (composer)|Charan Raj]] soundtrack | prev_title = [[Head Bush]] | prev_year = 2023 | next_title = [[Sapta Saagaradaache Ello – Side B]] | next_year = 2023 | misc = {{External media | audio1 = {{YouTube|g3ml4U9MHBM|Official Audio Jukebox}} }} {{Singles | name = Sapta Saagaradaache Ello – Side A | type = soundtrack | single1 = Horaata | single1date = July 20, 2023 | single2 = Sapta Saagaradaache Ello Title Track | single2date = Aug 08, 2023 | single3 = Kadalanu | single3date = Sep 07, 2023 }} }} Charan Raj composed the soundtrack and background score.<ref>{{cite news|title='Horaata', The First single from Rakshith Shetty's 'Sapta Saagaradaache Ello' Out|url=https://m.udayavani.com/article/sapta-sagaradaache-ello-new-song/1505704|date=21 June 2023|accessdate=6 August 2023|newspaper=Udayavani|archive-date=6 August 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230806064813/https://m.udayavani.com/article/sapta-sagaradaache-ello-new-song/1505704|url-status=live}}</ref> ===Songs=== {{Tracklist | extra_column = Singer(s) | title1 = Horaata | extra1 = MC Bijju, Keerthan Holla | length1 = 03:12 | lyrics1 = MC Bijju, Kiran Kaverappa | title2 = Sapta Saagaradaache Ello Title Track | extra2 = Kapil Kapilan | length2 = 04:19 | lyrics2 = Dhananjay Ranjan | title3 = Kadalanu | extra3 = Srilakshmi Belmannu | length3 = 01:44 | lyrics3 = Nagarjuna Sharma | title4 = Kaala Kaayiso Kade | extra4 = Charan Raj | length4 = 04:50 | lyrics4 = Dhananjay Ranjan | title5 = Kanmareya Kaade | extra5 = [[Shakthisree Gopalan]], Narayana Sharma | length5 = 03:48 | lyrics5 = [[Jayanth Kaikini]] | title6 = Saagaradaache | extra6 = Arun Kamath, Karthik Rao | length6 = 04:05 | lyrics6 = Dhananjay Ranjan }} == Release == ''Sapta Saagaradaache Ello - Side A'' released on 1 September 2023, while the dubbed [[Telugu language|Telugu]] version titled ''"Saptha Sagaralu Dhaati - Side A"'' was released on 22 September 2023.
