Temper

Daya grows up believing that a police career is buoyant and easy after watching police bribe-taking. This cynical outlook plants the first seeds of his ambition to join the force. The contrast between idealism and reality begins to color his choices early on.

Daya is posted to Visakhapatnam and quickly falls in with the local don Waltair Vasu. The partnership lets him skim money and gain power, while Narayana Murthy, an honest constable, watches his behavior with growing concern. The stage is set for institutional corruption to deepen.

On Gandhi Jayanti, Daya orders the release of Vasu's four younger brothers from prison who were detained for smuggling. The act highlights his willingness to bend the law for personal gain and angers Narayana Murthy. The brothers begin their criminal arc anew.

Daya begins pursuing Saanvi, a Blue Cross member who reciprocates his interest. Their budding romance shows a personal life taking shape even as his professional path grows darker. The relationship foreshadows the humanity that might still redeem him.

Saanvi’s birthday becomes a turning point when Vasu’s henchmen abduct someone by mistake. Daya fights them to rescue Saanvi, proving he still has fighting instinct and some humanity. Vasu arrives to clear up the confusion and lets them go.

Daya agrees to protect the real target, Lakshmi, and defeats Vasu’s associates opposing it. He succeeds in saving Lakshmi, which further complicates his relationship with Vasu. The act cements a fragile alliance between old rivalries and new loyalties.

Vasu offers to relinquish his plan to murder Lakshmi if Daya can recover a key piece of evidence against his brothers. Daya agrees to pursue the evidence, knowing it could turn the case. This pact raises the stakes in his fight for justice.

From Lakshmi, Daya learns that her sister Deepthi was brutally raped and killed after forty days of torture by Vasu’s brothers. The torturers filmed the act and kept the footage on a CD which Lakshmi managed to find. This revelation cements Daya's resolve to bring the culprits to justice, and Lakshmi's mother suffers a heart stroke after learning of Deepthi's death.

Daya arranges for Lakshmi and her mother to leave for the USA, hoping to safeguard them while he pursues the case. He takes personal responsibility for their safety in the face of mounting danger. The arrangement marks a grim blend of protection and pursuit.

In court, Daya’s lawyer, working with Vasu, tampers with the CD, making the sole proof of the brothers' crime invalid. Daya realizes too late that he should have made copies. The setback threatens to derail his pursuit of justice.

In a bold move, Daya declares that he also assaulted Deepthi along with the four brothers to ensure they cannot escape the death sentence. The shocking admission unsettles Saanvi and Murthy and unsettles the courtroom. The judge sentences Daya and the brothers to death, turning the case on its head.

Lakshmi reveals an extra copy of the murder footage to the media, proving Daya’s innocence and exposing the conspiracy around the case. Public pressure leads to the cancellation of his death sentence. The truth finally begins to outrun the lies that surrounded him.

As the hangman’s noose looms, the four brothers stage a brawl with the police. Daya fights them and kills three, while the fourth commits suicide to avoid death. The showdown seals the fall of the corrupt gang and vindication for Daya's changed path.

Daya is released from prison and reinstated into the police service. He reconciles with Saanvi and Murthy, marking his ultimate turn from corruption to reform. The arc ends with a renewed sense of duty and hopeful love.
