Plot

[edit]

Niranjan Iyer, a hacker, makes a deal for confidential information worth ₹10 crore (US$1.2 million) with an unknown person. When he confirms the deal, someone chases after him, but Niranjan manages to escape. Pullela Chandrasekhar, an ACP of the NIA and his wife Swathi, consult a divorce lawyer. Swathi accuses Shekhar of neglecting her and their son and only focusing on his work. Shekhar gets into a car crash when he returns to his office. He finds a high range gun in the other car, which is rare in India, and the other car's owner escapes by shooting Shekhar.

Shekhar decides to arrest the car owner and orders his assistant to check traffic signal CCTV footage to find him. He discovers that the owner is the seasoned assassin Yakub Ali. Shekhar and his team interrogate him, but learn nothing; they decide to bring him to court, but Ali dies on the way, where his phone receives a message, which displays three codes. Having solved the code, Shekhar and his team learn that the codes describe a bomb placed in Charminar and set to explode at 8:00 AM, in just a few hours, and also learns in the investigation, that the opposition leader of the state, Pratap Reddy, is going on a rally against the current government, and they conclude that the bomb is placed to kill Reddy.

Shekhar finds the bomb in an underhole and immediately informs the bomb squad, but they inform him that it is a remote-controlled bomb and that the remote must be used to detonate the bomb, in the vicinity. Shekhar searches for the remote, but to no avail. After Shekhar captures a suspicious man, the latter reveals that the remote is in a white colored-van, being operated by the terrorists. He shoots at the van with the other police officers and kills them. Shekhar finds Niranjan in the crowd, and chases after him, where he successfully arrests him. In custody, Niranjan manages to sell the drive containing the secret information for ₹25 crore (US$2.9 million) to Reddy's secretary. After arresting him, Shekhar's senior officer is informed by the government that Shekhar has been assigned to transfer Niranjan to Nagpur.

When Shekhar and Niranjan arrive in Nagpur, a gang attacks them, which forces their van into the river and shoot at them.

Controversy

[edit]

On 12 April 2018, Hyderabad city civil court forbade the film producers, directors, and YouTube from screening this movie. The court passed this interim order as a city-based uranium company filed a complaint against the film, claiming that it shows the corporation in a bad light.[12]
