Plot

Шаблон:Long plot Sameera Maha (Regina Cassandra), a rising businesswoman, fatally shoots and kills DSP Ashok Krishna (Naveen Chandra), who allegedly raped her. The case is filed as an act of self-defense, but the police and Ashok’s family hire Ratnakar (Sanjay Raichur), a prestigious criminal lawyer, for prosecution. Sameera's lawyer Banerjee (Vinay Varma) then contacts corrupt Sub-Inspector Vikram Vasudev (Adivi Sesh), who is based in Coonoor. He takes a bribe from Sameera to make sure Ratnakar does not uncover any incriminating evidence.

Vikram meets Sameera in a hotel room and presses her to fully disclose the details of the situation so that he knows where they stand in their defense. Sameera continually proclaims that Ashok forced himself on her until Vikram shows her proof that her husband, famed CEO Rahul Maha (Syed Irfan Ahmed), is homosexual and she went to college with Ashok. Sameera then reveals she is only a beard to Rahul, which allows him to keep up the appearance of a married heterosexual man while indulging in his true sexual interests in private. Sameera also confesses that she and Ashok dated in college but parted ways because his parents did not approve of her then middle-class status. Two years prior, they met by chance and restarted their relationship.

Vikram tells Sameera about a missing persons case he is working on: a year ago, a teenage cancer patient, Adarsh Varma (Nihal Kodhaty), filed a missing complaint for his father Vinay (Murali Sharma). Vikram initially made the case priority when Adarsh bribed him but grew committed to helping the Varma family despite later pressure from his superiors to drop the case. Vikram discovered that Vinay was frequently receiving calls from a police station in Panjagutta and his car was left damaged outside a building of the resort he owns. Adarsh and his mother also gave a lift to a girl named Vaishnavi (Shwetha Verma) the night of Vinay's disappearance, and she disappeared when they arrived home. Vikram followed the last photo Vinay took to a hairpin turn on a road in Coonoor, where he found a sideview mirror broken off from a black car. The car was traced back to a rental agency in Hyderabad, having been rented in the name of Vaishnavi Krishna by her husband Ashok, who is based in the Panjagutta Police Station. Later, Vikram learned that Adarsh had snuck into an event in Hyderabad Ashok was working at to confront him. Ashok unintentionally confirmed that he knew Vinay and prepared to shoot Adarsh, but Vikram saved him. As they were leaving, Adarsh spotted the honored guest, "Vaishnavi", who is actually Sameera.

Sameera tries to deny this, but Vikram reveals her old cellphone was found with Vinay's blood, linking her and Ashok to the case. Sameera reveals that she and Ashok were driving to Coonoor for a rendezvous when she accidentally crashed into Vinay around the hairpin turn. A drunken Ashok accosted Vinay until Sameera intervened. They arrived at a resort building that Ashok was planning to buy and again met Vinay, its owner. However, based on their previous encounter, he refused to sell it. Sameera tried to reason with him, but Vinay revealed he is a family friend of Rahul and knows she is his fiancée. He advises Sameera to end her affair with Ashok. Suddenly, a furious Ashok punched Vinay, causing him to stumble over the fencing on the overlook and fall into the forest 100 feet below.

Vinay was barely alive when they rushed down, so Ashok prevented Sameera from calling an ambulance and killed him. As he got rid of the body, Sameera ran out of the forest and hitchhiked with a woman and her cancer-ridden son, whose face was covered. She soon realized they were Vinay's family after discovering she had picked up his phone instead of hers. Upon arriving at their house, Sameera left the phone in the car and fled. She called Ashok from a payphone and he picked her up, after which they left Coonoor. A year later, Sameera and Ashok were blackmailed by an anonymous person to bring two crores to Vinay's resort. In the room, the couple decided instead to confess to Vinay's family together. They started to have sex when Ashok attempted to kill Sameera to save himself, but she fought back and killed him.

Vikram does not believe her, pointing out several inconsistencies in the story, and theorizes that Sameera actually killed Vinay since she had more to gain from the murder. Vikram reveals he was the blackmailer and knows that Ashok was planning on confessing beforehand; Ashok had called Vikram (as the blackmailer) before going into the resort and kept him on the phone in his back pocket. Sameera killed Ashok when he told her his intentions and then staged the scene to make it look like he raped her.

Knowing that Vikram is intent on helping Adarsh, Sameera offers him two crores to remove Vinay's body and pin his death on Ashok in order to destroy Ratnakar's evidence against her in court. To ensure his cooperation, she threatens to reveal to Vikram's superiors the initial bribe he took from her. Vikram asks where Vinay's body is, and Sameera explains that after she pushed Vinay off the overlook, he had disappeared when she got down to the forest. Sameera told Ashok to flee in the car while she searched for Vinay, eventually finding that he had reached the road. Sameera ambushed Vinay, finished him off, and buried him in a nearby construction site next to a temple before hitchhiking with his family. Shocked at her ruthlessness, Vikram reveals a microphone that he had planted in the room, which recorded her confession. Sameera pulls a gun on him but the police arrive and arrest her for the murders of Vinay and Ashok. As Vikram leaves, Sameera protests that he is corrupt but the lead police officer reveals he is Vikram Vasudev and the man who just left is actually Adarsh Varma.

Adarsh had originally taken up his father's case with the real Vikram and became suspicious of Sameera when he saw her on a magazine and recognized her as "Vaishnavi". After Vikram had dropped the case due to pressure from his superiors, Adarsh compiled the evidence himself for over a year as he recovered from cancer. Following Ashok's murder, Adarsh proposed to Vikram that he assume the officer's identity and meet with Sameera in order to get her to confess. The movie ends with Adarsh and his mother arriving at the site where Sameera had buried his father's corpse.
