Following the events after the prequel, Satya/Shiva runs an orphanage for the downtrodden people and also steals black money. Jaanu, a nine-year-old girl in his orphanage, suffers from Brugada Syndrome and Satya takes her to Warsaw for treatment. Satya meets Dr. Priya and they become friends with Jaanu's help. Devendra, a pharmaceutical mogul in Warsaw, wants to spread a virus and provide a cure at a high price to obtain profits. Satya consults the doctor and schedules a date for Jaanu's operation. Later, Satya and Jaanu visit the "Aviation Museum" for a visit and return to India. Later, a masked man Ghost carries out heist of the Crown Jewel, which was bought by Devendra and was to be delivered to him in a week. The chase occurs between the cops and Ghost in which Ghost manages to escape.

Reception[edit | edit source]

Critical response[edit | edit source]

Sunayana Suresh of The Times of India gave 4/5 stars and wrote "Kotigobba 3 does not disappoint fans of the masala film genre, with a more classy than ‘massy’ approach."[27] Pratibha Joy of OTTplay gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote "Kotigobba 3 is a Kiccha show all the way and fans will be thrilled that there is a lot of him in this installment."[28] Madiri of Bangalore Mirror gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote "If you are looking to watch a film along with the entire family, Kotigobba 3 will be a good outing for you."[29] Jagadish Angadi of Deccan Herald gave 3/5 stars and wrote "Directed by debutant Shiva Karthik, the multistarrer is a massy entertainer, as the hooting and whistling at the cinema showed. The plot defies logic as it relies heavily on formulaic commercial elements."[30] A. Sharadhaa of The New Indian Express gave 3/5 stars and wrote "Kottigobba 3 is a treat for both the fans of Sudeep and commercial entertainers."[31]
