Digital media professional Shivaji (Manchu Vishnu) and a college student Anamika ( Pranitha) meet at a coffee shop and decide to go on a date. When they meet for a date, Anamika invites Shivaji over to her apartment for a drink. When Shivaji goes to the washroom after a couple of drinks, Anamika is kidnapped. Though he chases the kidnappers, the loses them and he goes to the police station to lodge a complaint.

However, when the police accompany Shivaji to the apartment, they find that the whole place is clean and that everything is in place. They conclude that Shivaji has been hallucinating due to alcohol and go off. However, Shivaji decides to track the goons on his own and goes about figuring out what happened to Anamika.

In the process, he learns that Anamika is the daughter of a channel owner and that her kidnappers were after her for a micro-chip SD card which has a video that someone does not want the world to see. Meanwhile, the kidnappers demand a ransom and the SD card from Anamika's father. However, they kill him in the process and Shivaji goes on a mission to find out the true culprit and Anamika.

When the film was in the making, it was said that while the film is the remake of Tamil hit Arima Nambi, director Deva Katta has made many changes while keeping the overall story in place. However, when one watches the film, it is pretty obvious that he has made only superficial changes if any, as he remains true to the original script of Arima Nambi.

The film starts off pretty well establishing the story's main plot in 15 minutes and thereafter the sequences successfully build suspense.

The shot where Nagineedu accompanies Vishnu to Praneetha's apartment, has been well executed and the following episodes are also handled well. Still, the first half has some glitches, though it is pretty decent.

But post interval, the film really goes off mark. So vis-a-vis the first half, the second half does not match up to the same scale barring the pre-climax sequence. Second half has some scenes that totally defy logic as action takes over and story goes for a toss.

One cannot help but wonder how a digital media professional can expertly handle so many guns. Also, one cannot decipher as to how one minister can use the entire police force for his personal means.

Also, some scenes have been taken off Tamil original and pasted in the film like the one scene where the police officer wears a badge with Tamil alphabet.

To put it in short, the film has a neat first half and some interesting moments in the second half. However, one loses interest post break due to inconsistent screenplay.
