Karthikeya (Ravi Teja) is the owner of Karthikeya Industries. His philosophy is "family is most important". A goon named Selvam robs Karthik's machinery often. Karthik's repeated complaints fall on deaf ears, so he challenges that he can solve the case in two minutes, so the CI makes him CI for a day to fight Selvam. Karthik falls in love with a choreographer named Pushpa (Raashi Khanna). One day, Irfan Lala (Freddy Daruwala) kills a student activist in a pub. Karthik informs this to the police based on Irfan's photo, but the police officer (Ajay) tells Karthik that the criminal died long back ago. Karthik calls the Police Commissioner (Murali Sharma) in Hyderabad and asks for Irfan. A flashback occurs where Karthik is actually a dangerous, reckless, zero family emotions, and duty-dedicated cop who gets transferred to Hyderabad. He goes on a mission to save the commissioner's daughter, who is threatened by a gang. Karthik kills the gang members and retrieves the daughter. Irfan and his father Rauf Lala (Shahbaaz Khan) are two goons who are hoping to win a by-election. Meanwhile, Divya (Seerat Kapoor) loves Karthik a lot. Her parents fix the engagement, but Karthik breaks it due to an important mission. Divya leaves him forever. During a party in an altercation, Irfan kills Shalini (Kaumudi Nemani). It is revealed that Karthik was once the student of Shalini's mother (Suhasini Maniratnam). During a shootout, Karthik fatally wounds Irfan. In the hospital, he searches for Irfan, but his father (Jayaprakash) tells him that Irfan is dead. This is actually a drama played by Karthik's father (Jayaprakash) and the commissioner so that Karthik would be close to his family. Karthik decides to draw balance between professional and personal life, so he kills Irfan, and Rauf dies upon knowing this. The film ends with Karthik meeting Pushpa and both affectionately hugging each other.
