The brothers gain a notorious reputation for fighting, but their lawyer Bail Lingam repeatedly bails them out of legal trouble. Katama remains the steady, principled counterweight to their schemes. The pattern shows how law, loyalty, and violence intersect in their world.

A childhood friend hints that Katama once loved a girl named Avantika, stirring nostalgia. The brothers plot to reintroduce Avantika to win Katama’s affection again. This rumor becomes the catalyst for the ensuing events.

They learn the original Avantika is now married with children, so they seek another woman named Avantika to trigger Katama’s renewed interest. Reluctantly, Katama agrees to explore the plan if the name can spark real feeling. The idea blurs lines between affection and manipulation.

Katama gradually falls for the second Avantika as they spend time together. His vow to shun love begins to waver because of her presence. The romance alters family dynamics and challenges his long-held resolve.

While traveling toward Avantika’s village, Avantika learns about Bhupathi’s pacifist values and family history. Goons attack the moving train, and Katama fights them off, surprising Avantika who believed he was non-violent. The sequence tests Katama’s true nature.

Upon arrival in Avantika’s village, Katama and his brothers are warmly welcomed and appear transformed. Bhupathi is impressed by their loyalty, hospitality, and the depth of Katama’s love for Avantika. The family’s presence begins to earn his trust.

Bhupathi explains that Bhanu holds a long-standing grudge against him for exposing Bhanu’s father in a factory explosion case. Bhanu’s anger now targets Bhupathi’s family, driving the central conflict forward. This backstory clarifies Bhanu’s relentless threat.
