Plot

The film begins with SP Abhimanyu, a lion-hearted cop, capturing a satanic terrorist, Vyaghra. Accordingly, the police department is bedazzled with pride and honors his staunch. Abhimanyu builds a jollity world with his pregnant wife Lakshmi and gallant brother Kiriti. After a while, Vyaghra absconds with the aid of his acolytes Rayudu and Avinash. Sowjanya, an investigative journalist, is behind these treacherous to bring their rackets to light. In that operation, she is often acquainted with Kiriti in contretemps and extricated by him when they fall in love. However, Kiriti & Sowjanya get ahead in providing all the pieces of evidence against Vyaghra to Abhimanyu, for which he abducts Lakshmi. Abhimanyu & Kiriti backfire on him and shield Lakshmi when Abhimanyu eliminates Vyaghra. As a startle, Vyaghra returns, proclaiming as Sunil Vyaghra, the twin brother of deceased Anil Vyaghra. Thus far, they have managed to portray themselves as one and deceive the world. Now, Vyaghra-II explodes with vengeance and pledges to destroy Abhimanyu & Kiriti. He victimizes Abhimanyu as a traitor before the department by backstabbing his friend, DSP Giri, when he receives severe ignominy. Kiriti toils to acquit him, but in vain, and benumbed Abhimanyu makes self-sacrifice. In tandem, he is blessed with a baby boy. Hence, Kiriti ignites Vyaghra when they hard-hit him. Dr. Bharati, Kiriti's childhood friend, saves him. Indeed, she too loves Kiriti but backs out, conscious of his love interest in Sowjanya. Then, Vyaghra makes a vast conspiracy to destroy the country. Moreover, aware of Kiriti's survival, he plots by injecting him with a slow-killing poison within 24 hours and affirms his cabal. Despite a turbulent situation, Kiriti pulls up his vigor and starts his mission of spree killing. Bharati accompanies him to boost his strength and help him recover. At last, Kiriti ceases Vyaghra, and Bharati rescues him. Finally, the movie ends with Kiriti paying the nation homage to Abhimanyu.
