PlotThe city of
Hyderabad is rife with nefarious activities of
land mafia. There are two
rival gangs, one under Ali Bhai(
Prakash Raj) who resides in
Dubai and controls the operation through his siblings Ajju and Mona. The other gang is operated by
local goon Narayan. Both threaten builders and land owners into giving them hafta/
protection money or
real estate property, through means of force,
extortion or murder. Sayed (
Sayaji Shinde) arrives as the new Commissioner of Hyderabad and starts cracking on goons in the city.
The movie begins with Pandu(
Mahesh Babu), a thug who will kill anyone, anytime for money, being abducted by Mallesh, a member of Ali's gang and his henchmen. Pandu has taken a contract from Narayan to beat up Mahesh, which he does
successfully. Impressed by his ability to handle a petty gangster like Mallesh and his henchmen, Ajju invites Pandu to join Ali bhai's gang. Pandu declines the offer stating that he does not work for any gang, but is ready to do anything, given enough money. Meanwhile, Pandu fall in love Shruthi when he visits his cousin's (
Ajay)aerobics class . He is foul play over by her
beauty, though she decide him to be a thug. Shruthi a college going student, lives with her widowed mother and younger brother. Bramhi (
Brahmanandam) lives above Shruthi's house, is a major source of irritation for her family, as he incessantly tries to convince Shruthi into marriage. Sub inspector Pashupathy (
Ashish vidyarthi, is adis-honest officer in the colony where Pandu and Shruthi live. He goes hand in glove with the land mafia, often helping them out in their activities. He is also on the payroll of Ali Bhai. He is also a lecherous man, whose eye falls on Shruthi and he decides to make her his mistress.
Pandu's last assignment with Ali 's gang is to kill a member of Narayan's band. However, police show up at the spot where Pandu and the other gangsters are waiting for the murder. Pandu engages the cops long enough for the others to finish the task and flee. He also helps Shruthi escape from Pashupathy, in the middle of all this. She is
impressed by his kindness and starts developing friendship with him. He also starts having feelings for her, which are reciprocated by Shruthi. When she expresses her feelings towards him, they are attacked by members of Narayan's gang, whom Pandu single handedly finishes off. Shruthi is shocked to learn that Pandu is a seasoned gangster and has no qualms about killing people.
Pashupathy starts liking Shruthi . On realizing that Shruthi is about to get married, he arranges to have some thugs put up a mock show of raping Shruthi, so that no decent family will want to take her as their daughter-in-law and with no other option Shruthi and her mother will accept his demands. Pandu gets wind of this and trashes Pashupathy incognito, warning him that if he is responsible for this incident then things will turn very ugly for him.
Unable to stand the interference by Narayan into his gangs operations, Ali Khan comes to Hyderabad and kills Narayan. He also meets Pandu to discuss with him the killing of a minister by blowing up a balloon. Pandu however, disagrees to Ali Bhai's method as it is his principle not to kill children. In the middle of their argument, police raid the club and arrest as Ali Bhai. His gang members retaliate by creating a lewd video of Police Commissioner's daughter and releasing it to media. They also kidnap the Commissioner's daughter, forcing the police to release Ali Bhai. After coming out, Ali Bhai starts druggung the Commissioner's daughter, who accidentally reveals that her father has placed a mole in Ali Bhai's gang. This causes a lot of tensions and after digging up some old records they find that Pandu's uncle, Suryanarayanan was a police inspector and his son Krishna is now a part of Pandu's gang. Assuming him to be the culprit, Ali Bhai kills Krishna in front of his dad. However, it is then revealed that the person who died is not Krishna but Ajay. It is then revealed that Krishna the actual son of the retired inspector is none other than Pandu. His father explains that Krishna is a gold medalist DCP officer, who has been masquerading as a corrupt mafia so that he can penetrate the underworld gangs and wipe them out from the inside.
The movie concludes with Krishna Manohar/Pandu avenging his father's death by finishing off all members of Ali Bhai's gang including Ali Bhai and Pasupathy.
