Plot

In the heart of Bengaluru, Shankar (Kamal Kumar), a talented but unemployed engineering graduate, faces a constant struggle. He dreams of providing a bright future for his son, Appu (Uday K), but financial limitations keep him grounded. To afford Appu's education at a prestigious international school, Shankar takes on numerous part-time jobs, hiding his hardships from his son.

Meanwhile, Appu, a bright but reserved boy, grapples with the challenges of being the only Kannada-speaking student in his class. He faces prejudice and isolation from his classmates and teachers, who constantly belittle him for his background and label him a "zero." Shankar, unaware of his son's struggles, remains optimistic, believing Appu is excelling in his new environment.

One day, a tragic accident leaves Shankar hospitalized, forcing Appu to face the harsh reality of their situation. He witnesses the financial burden his father carries and realizes the sacrifices made for his education. Determined to help his father and prove himself, Appu embarks on a journey of self-discovery.

He utilizes his intelligence and resourcefulness to find solutions. He starts working part-time, excelling in his studies, and even begins tutoring his classmates. Despite the taunts and challenges, Appu remains focused and proves his worth. He earns the respect of his peers and teachers, transitioning from the ostracized "zero" to a respected student.

Meanwhile, Shankar, recovering in the hospital, receives news of Appu's accomplishments. He is overwhelmed with pride and guilt, realizing he underestimated his son's strength. He regains his fighting spirit, determined to reunite with Appu and build a better future together.
