What happens

Ulidavaru Kandante ( transl. As Seen by the Rest) is a 2014 Indian Kannada-language neo-noir gangster film written and directed by debutant Rakshit Shetty. Shetty appears in the lead role, along with Kishore, Tara, Achyuth Kumar, Rishab Shetty, and Yagna Shetty playing supporting roles. The film revolves around five stories connected to an incident of a person's murder, with each character narrating it in his own perspective. The film was geared up to be sent to the Cannes Film Festival, and released on 28 March 2014, to generally positive reviews from film critics who acclaimed the direction, performances of Rakshit Shetty and Sheetal Shetty, and cinematography. The film was the first in Kannada to be shot entirely in sync sound technology. It was praised for its regional authenticity in depicting Tulu Nadu and its people. However, it turned out to be a box-office bomb on its release but later attained a cult following. It has since been established as a cult classic in Kannada cinema, and had become a part of the modern new wave cinema that was kickstarted by Lucia (2013). It was dubbed in Hindi as Balwaan Badshah and remade in Tamil as Richie (2017), starring Malayalam actor Nivin Pauly. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
