Plot

[edit]

P. Arjun Prasad is the ACP of Hyderabad, who gets involved in an accident which leads him to suffer partial memory loss. Before the accident, Arjun was having a conversation with Commissioner of Police Mohan Bhargav. He informs Mohan that he has solved the murder case of his best friend ACP Aryan Dev who was killed with a sniper during a gallantry awards ceremony at the police parade ground, but before disclosing the name of the murderer, the accident occurs resulting in the partial memory loss. Arjun is attacked by assassins at his apartment after he gets discharged, but he fights them off.

Mohan tells Arjun about their relationship with Aryan and the case investigations that Arjun has made. The trio were nicknamed as Mumbai Police due to their past in the Mumbai counter terrorism division. Arjun's capabilities as a cop being impressive, Mohan reassigns Arjun back on the case despite the memory loss. Arjun has a hard time adjusting to his new life which starts affecting his profession. As the investigations continues, Arjun realizes that he was daredevil cop with an impressive record but was notorious for his use of violence, alcoholism and womanizing.

Arjun finds that the sniper that was used to assassinate Aryan was remote controlled. As his investigation deteriorates, Arjun is asked to be removed from the case by his team members but Arjun asks for 2 days time in order to solve the case and find the culprit. A man comes to Arjun's apartment and starts behaving oddly, which confuses Arjun and beats him out of his apartment. Arjun realizes that he is a closeted homosexual and breaks down in tears. Arjun confronts Mohan and asks him to reveal the full audio clip on his voicemail that he send before his accident.

Before the accident, Arjun met Aryan's fiancée Nivetha, who showed Aryan's award speech rehearsal video in which he dedicated the award to Arjun. It is then revealed that Arjun himself was the one who killed Aryan since he found about his homosexuality and felt he might oust Arjun. After seeing the video and breaking down, Arjun had confessed to his crimes to Mohan and asks him to arrest him also Mohan tells him that he can use his state of mind and get him out of this case but Arjun tells him that even if he is out he will be living with the guilt that he killed Aryan.
