Majili’ charts the journey of an alcoholic ex-cricketer named Poorna (Naga Chaitanya) who seems stuck in the past despite his wife Sravani (Samantha) doing her best to help him move forward. What happened between him and his ex-girlfriend Anshu (Divyansha Kaushik), daughter of a naval officer, and how his choices in the past continue to affect him today too form the crux of the story.
