Description: Vinayak Mahadev, an Assistant Commissioner of Maharashtra Police, is suspended for helping a smuggler named Faizal escape an encounter. Meanwhile, a police officer commits suicide after his IPL gambling plans are exposed, revealing his identity as Kamal Ekambaram. ACP Prithviraj takes charge to tackle the betting scandals in IPL cricket in Mumbai.
It is later revealed that Kamal faked his death in a secret mission to highlight the betting scandals, returning under the alias Praveen Kumar. Arumuga Chettiyar, a powerful illegal business operator and Faizal’s boss, owns “Golden Theatres” in Mumbai, which serves as a front for his illegal activities. Chettiyar plans to route over ₹5 billion (US$70 million) through his old theatre for betting purposes. Vinayak is introduced to Chettiyar by his girlfriend Sanjana, who loves him, though Vinayak pretends to reciprocate her feelings.
Sumanth, a henchman working for Chettiyar, conspires with his friends—Ganesh, a local Sub-Inspector; Mahat, a bar owner; and Prem, an IIT graduate—to steal the money. Vinayak befriends the group during Sumanth’s marriage to Suchithra. One evening, while drinking with Prem, Vinayak learns about their heist plan. He begins spying on them and confronts them on the day of the planned robbery, offering to join and share the loot. However, Vinayak secretly plans to eliminate his accomplices and keep the entire sum for himself, promising to help them divide the money equally.
