The film begins at the [[Hyderabad]] Task Force department led by a dynamic deputy, Dayanayak, an [[encounter specialist]]. Though challenging, he has an enjoyable way of living with his ideal wife, Gauri, and daughter Harini. Daya holds the best network over the underworld and is cordial with his juniors & informers. However, Daya's pre-eminence envies one of his boys, Salim. Parallelly, a drastic feud rundown between mobsters Bilal, based abroad, and Chota. Meanwhile, a new kid, Akhil, on the block, attains confidence in Daya, and nice amity develops between them. During these events, Daya establishes a love-hate telephonic conversation with Bilal.
