Reviews for the movie have Hyderabad’s ACP, P. Arjun Prasad, is engaged in an accident that causes him to lose part of his memory.
Arjun was speaking with Commissioner of Police Mohan Bhargav prior to the accident. Before revealing the identity of the murderer, an accident occurs that causes partial memory loss. He tells Mohan that he has solved the murder case of his best friend, ACP Aryan Dev, who was shot dead by a sniper at a gallantry awards ceremony at the police parade ground.
After being released from the hospital, assassins assault Arjun in his flat, but he repels them. Mohan informs Arjun about their association with Aryan as well as the case studies that Arjun has conducted. Because of their prior experience with the Mumbai counterterrorism section, the three of them were dubbed Mumbai Police.
Despite Arjun’s memory loss, Mohan reassigns him to the case due to his exceptional police skills. Arjun finds it difficult to settle into his new life, which begins to interfere with his career. As the investigation goes on, Arjun learns that although he was a daredevil police officer with an amazing record, he was also well-known for his violent tendencies, drinking, and womanizing.
Arjun discovers that the sniper that killed Aryan was operated by remote. Team members implore Arjun to step away from the case as his investigation goes south, but Arjun insists on having two more days to solve the mystery and identify the culprit. When a strange man shows up at Arjun’s flat, he starts acting strangely, which puzzles Arjun and forces him to beat him out. When Arjun discovers he is a secret gay man, he starts crying.
Arjun approaches Mohan and demands to hear the entire audio tape he left on his voicemail before to his accident. Prior to the accident, Arjun got to know Aryan’s fiancée Nivetha, who showed him the video of Aryan’s practice award speech, in which he dedicated it to Arjun. Then it is revealed that Arjun killed Aryan because he believed he might depose Arjun after learning about his homosexuality.
After watching the film and sobbing, Arjun confessed to his crimes to Mohan and asked that he be arrested. Mohan told Arjun that he could utilize his mental status to get out of this case, but Arjun said that even if he was freed, he would always carry the guilt that he killed Aryan.
