Plot Summary
Jyothi Kumar once dreamed of becoming a singer, but fate had different plans. He finds himself reluctantly serving as a police constable, eventually assigned as the personal security officer (PSO) to District Judge Venkitesh Balaji—a man known for his arrogance and intolerance. Their relationship is far from smooth, as Jyothi’s casual attitude often leads to humorous yet problematic situations.

However, their world turns upside down when they are kidnapped by a Maoist group led by Commander Ganeshan. The group’s demand is straightforward—the release of their imprisoned leader. What follows is a nail-biting sequence of events where the captors and captives engage in a battle of wits, survival, and shifting power dynamics.
From rivalry to forced camaraderie, the film captures the evolving bond between two unlikely allies facing a terrifying enemy—and themselves.
