The film begins at the Hyderabad Task Force department led by a dynamic deputy, Dayanayak, an encounter specialist. Though challenging, he has an enjoyable way of living with his ideal wife, Gauri, and daughter Harini. Daya holds the best network over the underworld and is cordial with his juniors & informers. However, Daya's pre-eminence envies one of his boys, Salim. Parallelly, a drastic feud rundown between mobsters Bilal, based abroad, and Chota. Meanwhile, a new kid, Akhil, on the block, attains confidence in Daya, and nice amity develops between them. During these events, Daya establishes a love-hate telephonic conversation with Bilal. Sooner, Daya upends when his confidential adviser, Commissioner Gurunarayana, retires, and an amoral Sivalinga Prasad arrives. He aids Chota, also persecutes Daya, and hoists Salim. Nevertheless, Daya strenuously never fails his path.
Once Daya gets intel regarding the landing of professional sharpshooter Ashok Chota's sidekick, he immediately takes action and apprehends him. But alas, his mother dies in that encounter where Ashok seeks vengeance and breaks out of the prison. At that point, Bilal notifies Daya that he is at risk from Ashok. Then, on the eve of Akhil's wedding, Gauri is slain by an unidentified and the cataclysmic forms severe impact on Daya. Yet, he is committed and initiates an inquiry, which Sivalinga Prasad hinders. Thus, Daya resigns and wipes out Chota's gang. Forthwith, Sivalinga Prasad announces shoot-at-sight orders against Daya and assigns Salim, who traps him. On the verge of his encounter, Akhil fires on Salim and frees Daya. Afterward, Daya knocks out Sivalinga Prasad too.
Now, Daya calls for Bilal to fuse, which he accepts and succeeds in getting him out of India. Later that night, Daya & Bilal begin a dialogue when Bilal states Ashok is the homicide of Gauri. Here, shockingly, Daya proclaims that he had already encountered Ashok before Gauri's death. Notoriously, it is Bilal's foul play that killed Gauri on behalf of Ashok, inducing Daya against Chota's gang. Anyhow, Daya has made this reverse gimmick for it. He slaughters Bilal therein and returns. At last, Gurunarayana reinstates Daya by posing his crimes as a covert mission. Finally, the movie ends with Daya persistently proceeding to a new operation with his team.
