-In 1951, the government officials discovered gold [[ore]] in southern [[Mysore State]] where on the same day, Raja "Rocky" Krishnappa Bairya was born to a poor young woman named Shanti. Suryavardhan, a powerful crime boss and politician, who accompanied the officials has them killed and leases the land for 99 years under the pretext of running Narachi, a [[limestone]] mine, but secretly establishes K.G.F.

+Government officials discovered gold [[ore]] in southern [[Mysore State]] in 1951. On the same day, Raja "Rocky" Krishnappa Bairya was born to a poor underage Shanti. Suryavardhan, a powerful don who accompanied them, has the officials killed and leases the land for 99 years under the pretext of running Narachi, a [[limestone]] mine, but secretly establishes K.G.F. He had five associates: Kamal, son of Suryavardhan's late associate who looks after gold refinery in Varca; Rajendra Desai, who oversees the transportation of refined gold bars coming from the refinery; Andrews, who oversees the gold smuggling in the [[Western Coastal Plains|Western Coast]]; Guru Pandian, president of the in-government DYSS party who gave political influence to Suryavardhan; and Adheera, Suryavardhan's younger brother, know for his ruthlessness, headed the K.G.F security. Suryavardhan suffers a [[stroke]] and appoints his elder son Garuda as the future heir of K.G.F. Suryavardhan expected Adheera to serve as his son's aide, but Adheera unsuccessfully attempts to assasinate Garuda. In turn, Garuda bombs Adheera's car and he is presumed dead. Suryavardhan's associates eye the riches of K.G.F and plans to assassinate Garuda.
-<nowiki>*</nowiki>Rajendra Desai - who oversees the transportation of refined gold bars to [[Bangalore]] and [[Mumbai]] from the factory at [[Varca]], belonging to him and his adopted son Kamal.
+Rocky arrives in [[Bombay]] as a ten-year-old on a quest for wealth and power as desired by his dying mother, and begins to work for Shetty, a gold smuggler and Andrews' underboss, who competes against a [[Dubai]]-based underworld don Inayat Khalil. Years later, he rises in ranks and oversees the arrival of 'African' gold bars to the Bombay coast. Rocky's influence begins to rival Shetty's own. Andrews', who notices this, offers him Bombay in return for assassinating Garuda. Rocky accepts the offer and heads to [[Bangalore]]; he meets Desai's daughter Reena and falls in love with her. This irritates Reena's fiance Kamal, who immediately dislikes Rocky. A statue inaugration is organised for luring Garuda out of K.G.F. With the help of Desai, Andrews, Kamal and Andrews' secretary Daya, Rocky enters the party office with a smuggled [[pistol]]. But the attempt is averted even before it began when they are spotted by Garuda's bodyguards. Rocky witnesses the authority and power that Garuda commands. Seeing no other option to murder Garuda, Rocky journeys to K.G.F, killing a unit of Garuda's henchmen to enter. The workers in K.G.F, who were forcibly kidnapped, are subjected to inhumane conditions and treated as slaves. Rocky becomes one of them and although apathetic at first, he is moved by the cold-blooded murder of a mother and son by a guard. Rocky stealthily accesses the map of the mine in the maintenance room during a roll call and narrowly escapes death after a fellow slave sacrifices himself to save the lives of his wife and unborn child. Andrews, Kamal and Desai are misinformed about the incident and assume Rocky is killed.
-<nowiki>*</nowiki>Kamal - son of Suryavardhan's partner Bhargav, who is adopted by Rajendra Desai after Bhargav's death, whose job is to look after Rajendra Desai's factory at [[Varca]].
+Rocky engages in a fight with an entire unit of twenty-three guards, killing each one of them to save a blind slave they were about to brutally murder. With this act, Rocky emerges as a messiah in the slaves' eyes. He orders them to burn the guards' corpses to let Andrews' and his men know he is still alive via their informants, Kulkarni and Garuda's younger brother Virat. Garuda prepares to leave his residence to investigate the fire and missing guards. To avert this, Virat smothers Suryavardhan, in order to sidetrack Garuda, who rushes back home.
-<nowiki>*</nowiki>Andrews - who oversees the gold given by Rajendra Desai and Kamal to the Western Coast of the country.
+Shaken by the recent bad turn of events, Garuda orders [[Maa Kaali]]'s ritual to be rescheduled from the following week to the next day, planning to kill his father's allies as soon as the ritual is complete. The next day, Rocky heads unsuspected through a tunnel to the site where Garuda has decided to behead three slaves as [[human sacrifice|offerings]] to the goddess, as Vanaram discovers that the third slave to be beheaded was found dead inside his prison cell. Upon Garuda's arrival and sacrifice of two slaves, a concealed Rocky, who had taken the third slave's place, emerges and beheads him. The ecstatic slaves accept Rocky as their leader.
-<nowiki>*</nowiki>Guru Pandian - president of the in-government DYSS party, who politically supports Suryavardhan.
+Ingalagi concludes that Rocky intentionally chose KGF as the location to assassinate Garuda, thereby inspiring an army of slaves to help him seize control. The narrator (Anand) indicates, however, that this is just the beginning. The news of Garuda's murder reaches Ramika Sen, the to-be [[prime minister of India]]. Adheera, who was presumed dead, hears the news of Garuda's death and plans to resurface so does Inayat Khalil. All others at the K.G.F including Desai, Kamal, Andrews, Daya, Khalil and Shetty, were overjoyed by hearing the news. As Vanaram orders his men to attack Rocky and his army, a gunshot is heard.
-<nowiki>*</nowiki>Adheera - Suryavardhan's brother, who is well-known for his ruthlessness, headed the K.G.F. security.
-Suryavardhan suffers a [[stroke]] and appoints his elder son Garuda as the future heir of K.G.F. and Suryavardhan expected Adheera to serve as his son's aide. But Adheera unsuccessfully attempts to assassinate Garuda. In turn, Garuda bombs Adheera's car and he is presumed dead. Suryavardhan's associates now eye the riches of K.G.F. to get control of the place. For this, Rajendra Desai, Kamal and Andrews planned to assassinate Garuda, so they can easily capture K.G.F and Narachi. Rocky arrives in [[Bombay]] as a ten-year-old on a quest for wealth and power as desired by Shanti, and begins to work for Shetty, a gold smuggler and Andrews's underboss, who competes against a Dubai-based rival Inayat Khalil.
-In 1978, Rocky rises in the ranks and oversees the arrival of ''African'' gold bars to the Bombay coast. Rocky's influence begins to rival Shetty's own. Andrews, who notices about Rocky offers him Bombay in return for assassinating Garuda. Rocky accepts the offer and heads to [[Bangalore]]; where he meets Desai's daughter Reena, falls in love with her and pursues her to accept him, much to her half-brother Kamal's chagrin and created rivalry between Rocky and Kamal. Meanwhile, a statue inauguration is organised for luring Garuda out of K.G.F. to assassinate him. With the help of Rajendra Desai, Andrew, Kamal and Andrew's secretary Daya, Rocky tried hard to assassinate Garuda, but the attempt is averted even before it begins when Rocky and his entire team is spotted by Garuda's bodyguards.
-Rocky witnesses the authority and power that Garuda commands. Seeing no other option to murder Garuda, Rocky journeys to K.G.F., killing a unit of Garuda's henchmen to enter. The workers in K.G.F., who were forcibly kidnapped, are subjected to inhumane conditions and treated as slaves. Rocky becomes one of them and although apathetic at first, he is moved by the cold-blooded murder of a mother and son by a guard. Rocky stealthily accesses the map of the mine in the maintenance room during a roll call and narrowly escapes death after a fellow slave sacrifices himself to save the lives of his wife and unborn child. Andrews, Kamal and Desai are misinformed about the incident and assume Rocky is killed. Rocky engages in a fight with an entire unit of 23 guards, killing each one of them to rescue a blind slave they were about to finish.
-With this act, Rocky emerges as a saviour in the slaves' eyes. He orders them to burn the guards' corpses to let Andrews's and his men know he is still alive via their informants, Kulkarni and Garuda's younger brother Virat. Garuda prepares to leave his residence to investigate the fire and missing guards. To avert this, Virat smothers Suryavardhan to death, and Garuda rushes back home. Shaken by the recent bad turn of events, Garuda orders [[Kali|Kaali]]'s ritual to be rescheduled from the following week to the next day, planning to kill his father's allies as soon as the ritual is complete. At night, Rocky heads unsuspected through a tunnel to the site where Garuda has decided to behead three slaves as [[human sacrifice|offerings]] to the goddess, as Vanaram discovers that the third slave is already killed in his prison cell. Upon Garuda's arrival and sacrifice of two slaves, a concealed Rocky, who had taken the third slave's place, emerges and kills him.
-Ingalagi concludes that Rocky intentionally chose KGF as the location to assassinate Garuda, so that an army of slaves would help him seize control and also indicates that this is just the beginning. The news of Garuda's murder reaches Ramika Sen, a ruthless politician. Adheera, who is actually alive, plans to resurface his position in KGF and also Rajendra Desai, Kamal, Andrews, Guru Pandian, Daya, Shetty and Inaayat Khalil also rejoice with the news. Vanaram orders his men to attack Rocky, but the slaves attack the men and saves him.
