The film's summary was announced to be a revenge drama where Sarja plays two different roles, one of which is a born-blind chef who owns a restaurant.[4] The film was shot majorly in Mangaluru and nearby coastal regions.
Srishaila (Chiranjeevi Sarja) is a blind chef and owner of a popular restaurant. One day Nandhini(Haripriya) comes to his restaurant for a charity donation, and Srishaila falls in love with her daily visits. One day Janaki (Kavya Shetty) comes to Srishaila's parents and asks his parents his hand for marriage to which they accept.
Srishaila decides to propose Nandhini in his restaurant. Then Nandhini comes teary-eyed and tells to Srishaila, that some thugs have stolen her money and her father is not well and is admitted to hospital. Shrishaila gives his money to her. After some days, he finds Nandhini has cheated her, and cheating the blind persons is her profession. How Shrishaila teaches her a lesson and saves other blind persons from her clutches forms the plot.

Sunayana Suresh from The Times of India give 3 stars out of 5 and says This film isn't the out and out commercial film, but it has an interesting screenplay to ensure one gets a hatke watch this weekend. Go for it, you will be entertained.[6] A Sharadhaa of The New Indian Express scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and wrote Kavya Shetty too does a neat job and goes along with the story. But Chikkanna, who shares a good chemistry with Chiranjeevi, is the highlight. His presence and dialogue delivery makes the film lighter as it progresses.[7] Shyamprasad S of Bangalore Mirror gave the film a rating of 3.5/5 and wrote "It has the substance but lacks a bit on the style front. However Samhaara makes for a good entertaining watch" [8]
