Plot
[edit]The film begins with Shekar, a valiant diehard to gangsters. Years ago, two dreadful monsters Ranga & Sarkar, slaughtered his father. At that moment, Shekar spots their gang symbol and absconds with his younger brother, and destiny detaches them. Shekar is searching for them, so he confronts the racketeers for the symbol and counterspy police under the veil. Gopi becomes a sincere cop, and the government appoints him to check these hoods. Meanwhile, Shekar gets acquainted with a girl named Latha, a gangbanger. Now, Shekar is behind her, and Gopi shadows the two. After a while, Shekar & Latha crush. Plus, he learns she is dragged into this syndicate with force, headed by two malicious Ranga & Sarkar, one that feigns as honorable. Here, Shekar ensures the safeguarding of Latha, so he, too, affiliates with the gang and works as a double agent for Gopi. Once in a bust, Vasu, Ranga's son, is caught. At the same time, Ranga & Sarkar discovers that Shekar has avenged the homicides of his father, i.e., themselves, and regarding his younger sibling. Here, Ranga forges Vasu as his brother, and he frees him. Howbeit, Gopi chases them when Shekar detects him as original and identifies Ranga as the hitman.
