Aadhya starts to feel possessive about her Dad and kills Geetha in a domestic fight when Subbu is not around and Subbu thinks he's responsible for the death. Both Father and Daughter bury the body and state to others that Geetha has left the house for her old lover Sudarshan.
Gangadhar (Naveen Kumar), friend of Sudarshan staying at same village hears the rumors of Geetha and informs it to Sudarshan .Problems complicate when Sudarshan comes to the village to find out truth about Geetha. Subbu on finding the truth about Geetha’s murder dies of heart attack. Sudarshan chooses to take care of Aadhya, but Aadhya on the other hand cannot come out of the loss of her father and eventually kills Sudarshan too revealing her possessiveness towards Father (Subbu) and her dark behavior.

Reception
[edit]Critical Response
[edit]Harish Basavarajaiah of The Times of India gave 3.0 out of 5 stars[2] and wrote "Fathers love their daughters more than their sons and many movies depict this. Magale, which, released this week, offers versatile content, Actors Gururaj Shetty and Bindu Raxidi have acted well. Child actress Supritha Raj shines in her role. However, the story lacks the pace to keep one hooked to the content. The songs do not attract much attention".
Ravi Rai[3] of Udayavani wrote "A movie's run depends on how beautifully and convincingly you weave a simple story. In that regard, Magale, which opened this week, is a well-attempted movie. Magale is a movie that comes close to the audience, with a small budget, less characters, and clearly stating the point without any confusion."
