Plot
Hosa Dinachari is an absolute 'Feel Good' story, that revolves around three different families work on their dynamics to heal each other, while spending their most vulnerable times with complete strangers
Rajesh (Chethan Vicky), a 29-year-old cab driver, desperately looking
for a bride through all possible sources (Matrimony
websites, dating apps, brokers, etc.) is forced to be in
quarantine after he comes into contact with a covid
positive patient. His stay becomes exciting when an
exquisite NRI, Kiran (Varsha Kurien) shares room with him, thanks to
the blatant mistake of the authorities who assign the
quarantine rooms. Kiran, is granddaughter of
Veeranna (Babu Hirannaiah) and Gowri (Aruna Balraj), who are still deeply in love
despite their 50 years of married life. They suffer a
huge blow when Veeranna is hit by covid, and is
hospitalized considering his age factor.
He is treated by Dr. Bharath (Deepak Subramanya), who hasn’t been home
since the beginning of covid. Bharath’s wife, Nidhi (Sripriya) and
daughter, Aarna (Baby Manini) don’t want him to be
working amidst high risk for the usual reasons. Lone
Gowri takes help from her next-door live-in couple,
Apeksha (Mandara Battalahalli) and Sharan (Supreeth Gowda). Sharan, who’s madly in love with
Apeksha, hasn’t been able to impress her lately, since
his over-affection and more and more of his love, has
turned into a burden and boredom for her. He decides
to utilize the opportunity of spending the 21-day
lockdown with her, to win her back.
Rajesh has the usual infatuation for Kiran and tries his
best to impress her, which backfires him every time.
He starts realizing the financial and social gap
between them when Kiran opens up about her life
style abroad and about her plans of flying back to Singapore
after a few days. He drops his plan of impressing her,
starts to be himself and consoles her when she talks
about her fears (Of her grandparents not welcoming
her back since Kiran and her parents weren’t in touch
with them for 20 years) which helps to build a positive
impact of Rajesh’s character in Kiran’s mind. Veeranna
is reminded of his son by Chirag (Vivek Dev), a 24 YO patient in the
same ward, with the way that Chirag avoids his
parents.
Veeranna and Gowri start missing each other, since
this is the first time they both are
separated for these many days. Gowri, sees Kiran in
Apeksha and in her love shown to Gowri and helps
Apeksha to sort the differences that she and Sharan
are suffering. Aarna is stubborn and wants Bharath to
come home for her birthday, despite him trying to
convince that he can’t. Bharath decides to go home for
a day, after making sure he isn’t infected by the virus.
Things take turn with Chirag’s untimely death,
because of which Veeranna becomes restless. He’s
convinced that he can't win over the
virus and tries convincing Bharath that he has to go
back home and spend the rest of his days with his wife,
Gowri. Bharath lets him go back to his wife, after
taking a few promises from him (that he won’t go near
his wife and he won’t step outside of his house till he
gets better). Bharath is not able to do the same even
though his test result is negative, since he’s asked to
replace an ICU doctor, who’s tested positive recently.
Veeranna reaches his house and starts spending time
with his wife happily, but his health keeps deteriorating as he starts experiencing severe symptoms of covid.
Meanwhile Kiran asks a weird favor to Rajesh to sneak
her out of the quarantine cell, since she’s not able to
wait longer to meet her grandparents. Rajesh drops
her to her grandparents' house and bids goodbye to
Kiran. By the time she reaches her grandparents'
house, Veeranna would have lost his life and it is
revealed that Kiran’s story was running ahead of the
other two timelines and not parallel. The film ends
with an emotional block revealing the sufferings of all
the characters parallelly. Nidhi, finally understands
Bharath and starts supporting him, which boosts up
Bharath to save more and more patients.
Nidhi and Aarna wait for Bharath to return safe and
sound, while he works in hospital extensively. Apeksha
and Sharan, try to sort out differences between them,
giving each other second chances. Rajesh continues
his bridal search through his old sources and is back
to square one. Kiran feels her grandfather’s presence
in front of his grave for the last time, and prepares
herself to face her grandmother who’s sitting at a
distance. Kiran and Gowri lock looks.
