Plot

916 focuses mainly on the relationship between a single father, Dr. Harikrishnan, and his 12th grade daughter Meera. It narrates the events of two closely knit families losing their balance; Harikrishnan's, and Dr. Ramesh's, his wife and their two children. While Dr. Harikrishnan is an altruist who considers his profession a means to serve society, Dr. Ramesh thinks otherwise. Prasanth appears as a romantic interest of Meera, leading her astray into the world of malls, cellphones, and the Internet. The movie comes to a twist when Meera goes missing. [2]
