Newly appointed station inspector, Sampath (Bharath GB), arrives at Thamas Katte, a small quaint village in Coastal Karnataka, which is prepping for the village festival - Maari jatre. Jenny (Chaitra J Achar) comes to the police station looking for her father (Toby), who has been missing for two days. Intrigued by Jenny's unique attire, Sampath goes looking for Toby, an eclectic man, who is often feared by villagers for his uncanny nature. As Sampath starts enquiring about Toby, some refer to him 'Shaitan', (devil), while some call him a dumb angel with a childlike innocence. Can the devil and angel co-exist within one man? Or should one peel off more layers to find the real Toby?

Toby is an abandoned child. The only thing he knows is fighting for survival. He loses his voice during an incident that happened to him as a child and loses his voice. Father Iglesias, at the local church, (Yogi Banekshwar) embraces him and shows him affection, which is a first for him. Toby creates a small world for himself with people who truly understand the words behind his silence - father Iglesias, Damodara (Gopalkrishna Deshapande) a mortuary worker, Jenny (a baby he found by the pond and took in as his own), and Savitri, a sex worker. It's a small world and Toby is happy in his world, that is until Ananda meddles with it.

The movie doesn’t fit into any genre. It has a little bit of everything. However, the slow-paced narration is a huge setback for Toby that comes with a very predictable premise. There is no surprise element or an overwhelming experience. The climax passes off very ordinarily (thanks to the trailer!) without giving the audience a cathartic act. The film builds up a wonderful pre-climax only to fall flat towards the end.

Do watch the best movie and share your feedback and watch the exclusive movie in the Toby (Sonyliv)
