The Storyline
Sahasam follows the misadventures of Jeevan (Ramzan Muhammed) and Sera (Gouri G. Kishan), a couple desperate to elope but constantly blocked by Sera’s arranged marriage plans. Meanwhile, Wolf (Babu Antony), a criminal who has stolen cryptocurrency, goes on the run and finds himself hiding out with Jeevan and his friends.
Things take another turn when Rajeev Nambiar (Narain), a determined NCB officer, enters the picture. As their paths collide, the story unravels into a wild ride of misunderstandings, crime chases, and laugh-out-loud moments.
