Plot

In Mumbai, Crime boss Chota Nayak escapes from police custody and sets out to look for his aide-turned-foe Ranganath, who turned police informer and stole Nayak's money worth 1000 crores. Jai is a fire department officer who happens to help Ranganath, not knowing that the latter is Nayak's former right-hand man, who soon dies due to the flames. Nayak suspects Jai to be an accomplice of Ranganath and reaches Hyderabad to enquire him about Ranganath. Meanwhile, Jai meets Savithri, and it is love at first sight for both of them and they start dating to know about each other. Nayak traces Jai and enquires him to reveal about his conversation with Ranganath, to which Jai objects and warns him not to trouble him again.

Nayak threatens to kill whoever is close to Jai and keeps his word where he kills Jai's friend Ajay and Jai's uncle in a fire accident, after which Jai kills Nayak's brother. Jai then sends his family tp a safe place, but Savithri, unaware of Nayak's presence, talks to Jai. Nayak then finds about Savitri and captures her where he threatens to kill her if Jai does not hand over the money. Jai realizes where the money is and rifles through Ranganath's coat, where he finds a book containing the bank account and password where the money is located. Jai calls Nayak, and they meet at a desolate market for the exchange.

However, the exchange goes horribly wrong when ACP Parasuram tries to capture Nayak. Nayak escapes, much to the Parasuram's dismay. Meanwhile, Nayak gains access to the bank account and finds it empty as all the money had been transferred to the injured Savithri's account. Nayak tries reviving Savithri in a abandoned construction site with the help of doctors, who revives from the injuries and reveals her account number. Jai arrives and sets fire to the building where he sends Savithri in the hospital ambulance and defeats Nayak's henchmen and stops the financial transaction. Jai faces Nayak and brutually kills him, thus avenging Ajay and his uncle's death. After this incident, Jai goes on a date with Savithri.
