A young Vedanth Prabhakar aspires to become a superhero, but he later decides to become a police officer after his mother, before dying from cancer, tells him that ordinary people are real superheroes, especially police officers. Vedanth decides to become a police officer like his father Prabhakar.

Years later, Vedanth completes his police training and gets posted in Mangalore, where he meets Sneha, an independent doctor, and develops feeling towards her. Sneha also falls for Vedanth and they get engaged. One day, Vedanth organizes a police operation and arrests several gangsters in the city, but they are released due to corrupt higher officials, and Vedanth is shocked to learn that his father is also on the take. One day, Vedanth witnesses a girl committing suicide by burning herself to death and learns that she was sexually assaulted. Due to this incident, Vedanth wears a superhero costume at night, calling himself Bagheera , and brutally kills the culprits. Vedanth pretends to be a corrupt officer to avoid suspicion and starts eradicating criminals as Bagheera, with the help of Narayana, a head constable.

Meanwhile, several people are kidnapped and about to be secretly transported in a container at the port area by Kotian. Vedanth, after receiving missing complaints in the station, goes to the port area as Bagheera. Kotian and his gang spot Bagheera and a shootout ensues, where Bagheera manages to escape despite being shot. Vedanth seeks Sneha's help, and after recovering, he goes to Kotian's house and finds Kotian's family dead, murdered by Kotian himself. Kotian reveals that he did not want them to get killed by Rana, a crime boss running an organ trafficking ring, and then commits suicide.

Guru, a CBI officer, is transferred to Mangalore by his brother Ramakanth Appayya, the director of the CBI, to exact revenge on Bagheera for killing his son Siddhi. Siddhi was a corrupt police officer and involved in killing Ranganna, an honest journalist, which led Bagheera to kill Siddhi. Guru begins his investigation to uncover Bagheera's identity. Vedanth, as Bagheera, appoints a hacker, a boy electronics expert, and a drunkard expert in making bombs and gadgets into providing him with a costume, weapons, a mask and a bike, and begins to destroy Rana's organ trafficking business. Rana lays a trap for Bagheera, but Bagheera escapes and kills Rana's men with the help of his gadgets. Vedanth seeks Sneha's help again, and their love grows more stronger.

Guru soon deduces Vedanth's identity as Bagheera, but a mole in Guru's team informs Rana about it. Rana kidnaps Sneha and gives Vedanth two choices: save Sneha from getting killed, or save a container containing several people from falling into the sea. With a heavy heart, Vedanth chooses to save the container, while Sneha gets brutally tortured and killed by Rana.

Vedanth gets arrested by Guru and is transported to be killed in an encounter. Rana loads the people into a train to Sri Lanka. However, the officers release Vedanth, under Guru's orders, and kill Rana's mole. Guru lies to Ramakanth that Bagheera has escaped again after learning about Siddhi's corruption, and reveals Rana's location to Vedanth. Vedanth arrives at the goods train and kills Rana, avenging Sneha's death. The kidnappees safely return and reunite with their families, while Vedanth leaves on a bus. Guru meets Central Minister Ramaswamy, reveals the latter's involvement with Rana, and tells him to resign from his post and surrender. When Ramaswamy refuses, Guru promises that Bagheera will hunt him down.

Reception

Prathibha Joy of OTTplay gave 4/5 stars and wrote "Bagheera is well-written, well-executed and well-acted. Yes, it is dark in tone, but not in the Neel template.

Fans of the superhero genre, don’t miss this “Desi Batman x Black Panther ” film. Concepts like this are rare in India, and Bagheera certainly deserves appreciation; with a pinch of patience and understanding." [36]

Vivek M.V of The Hindu wrote "Directed by Dr Suri, Srii Murali’s ‘Bagheera’ is an entertaining superhero story of a masked vigilante, elevated by Chethan D Souza’s stunts and Ajaneesh Loknath’s terrific score."
