'Tuglak' is a story of an individual who has to choose out of the options in his life. The choosing of multiple options leads to a state of total confusion or to a state of such chaos that the individual ends in making outrageous decisions. The protagonist – Ragavendra alias Raghu is referred to as 'Tuglak' by his friends and acquaintances.

Confusion runs havoc in his mind whenever he is confronted with choices so mush co that he ends up making completely unrelated and illogical decisions. However his life takes an interesting turn when he meets two beautiful girls, Sonia and Sania. He falls in love with both of them and is unable to choose between them. When confusion is restricted to materialistic things, life is simple. But when confusion gets entangled with emotion, chaos is the only way to explain what ensues.
 
In the quest for love, Raghu takes the audience through a roller coaster ride. Baalu, Raghu’s friend is intrigued by his life and decides to make a movie based on true incidents. He casts Raghu for the protagonist’s role and going by tradition he gives a happy ending to the movie.
 
However, during the course of the movie Sania realizes about the other girl in Raghu’s life and refuses to accept him. Soniya also refuses to accept him since she was only a back-up option and in the end he loses both the women.
 
A dejected Raghu in retrospection realizes his mistakes and decides to make amends. However he also feels that the movie should have the same ending as his life since it is based on true life incidents or else would be passing a wrong message to the audience.
 
Raghu sets out on a mission to convice the producer and director to change the climax and seeks helps from rickshaw drivers, whom he considers to be the true audience of Kannada cinema. In trying to do so Raghu also conveys a message to the audience on how thoughtful one's decisions should be.
