Directed by Shiva Nirvana, Irumudi details the relationship between a father and a daughter. Ravi Teja plays a middle-class family man who is devoted to his wife and daughter, but extends the same protective affection to every girl in his village.

When a series of mysterious murders targeting young girls shakes the village, he must confront his own demons to put an end to the violence.
