The film was a Hit and darshan got sucess after most of the Flop Films.
Gaja ( Darshan) and Krishna are friends. Gaja goes out to Krishna's village for a holiday but finds some startling events happening. He finds that Krishna's brother Devendra has a running feud with a rival faction, which prevents a harmonious relationship between the two families. But Gaja becomes a darling of Devendra's family and he also takes a liking to Shwetha ( Navya Nair), the sister of Devendra.
But in a faction fight later Devendra is killed along with his wife. Gaja tries to save the situation, but when he finds that the entire family of Devendra has become a target, he wants to run away with his friend Krishna and Shwetha. The rival faction leader's brother will kill Krishna and in a retaliatory mood Gaja kills him. He then escapes to Bangalore along with Shwetha. And then a cat and mouse game starts with Gaja being hounded by the rival faction leaders. Finally Gaja wins the battle.
The soundtrack was composed by V. Harikrishna. All lyrics were written by V. Nagendra Prasad.

Sify gave the film a rating of 4/5 and praised the role of acting, music and the camera departments in the film. [2] [3] R G Vijayasarathy of Rediff.com scored the film at 2 out of 5 stars and says "Gaja's main strength is the music of Harikrishna and rich production values. Cameraman Ramesh Babu has to be complimented for his efforts. The songs Maathu Nannolu, Lambooji Lambooji, and Aithalakadi' are very well choreographed. And so are the fights. The only thumbs down to Gaja is the director and producer's claim that their film is an original." [4]
Gaja was released on 11 January 2008. It was certified as 'A' by the censor board. It completed over 100 days at the box office, and became a comeback film for Darshan after huge flops. [5] "Bul Bul" and Gaja title song became chartbusters.
