Storyline

The story begins with a girl named Anamika eating golgappas when a rich boy teases a waitress. She is distressed and asks her friends why isn't anyone helping the girl. Then a man named Shivaji, a.k.a. Shiv beats the rich boys. Anamika is impressed and asks the next day she messages him, and his friends compel him to message her for a date. She replies positively, and the two go for their first date. Anamika is impressed by Shiv's modesty. The two then get drunk, and Anamika invites him to her home. At her home, the two are about to kiss when Shiv stops and goes to the bathroom as he is excited. He hears a scream in the room and goes there to see that some goons are taking Anamika away. He follows them but lost track of them when a tanker comes in front of him. He calls the police, who shuns him off, but Swaminath, a sincere police officer, goes with him to Anamika's home where the security guard tells the cops he is lying and Anamika is in Goa for 4 days. They go to Anamika's flat, which is all set, and all the things broken during the fight are fixed. They call Anamika's father, Ranganath Dasari, who happens to be the CEO of news channel 24 who confirms the security guard statement. Swaminath drops him home and asks him to drink less. He enters his friend's home and takes his bike. He reaches Anamika father's home and sees the SI and the goons. The SI is alerted that Shiv is present there. They find him and are about to kill him when the Swaminath saves him. They see that Ranganath is being inquired by goons about a memory card in which a party clip is recorded. He says that the chip is with his senior reporter. The goons kill the reporter and get the card from him. The goons also kill Ranganath. A fight ensues between Shiv, the Police inspector and the goons in which the Swaminath dies in the attack.

Shiv then follows the goons and reaches the place where Anamika is held gagged. He also manages to get the chip. They both run with goons behind them. Meanwhile, the leader of the goons, Billu arrives and starts following them. Shiv and Anamika try to open the card, but it requires a password. They go to Ranganath's office to take a diary containing all the passwords. They are still unable to crack the code and thus goes to a hotel to hack the code. They are about to open the video when Shiv's friend comes. It slips from his mouth that goons are following him, to which Shiv replies that he never told him about the goons. Shiv's friend reveals that the goons offered him Rs. 1 crore and at the same time, the goons arrive, and Shiv's friend is killed in a shootout. Shiv and Anamika are on the run again. They enter a mall as they come to know that the police are watching them and are on the side of goons on the order of IB minister Rishi Dev who is behind the card. Shiv asks Anamika to gather the media and hand over the card to the governor; meanwhile, he will distract the police. The police discover their location and kills a man who they assume to be Shiv. The police tells the media that Shiv used to supply drugs to Anamika, and they both killed Anamika's father and the police inspector. Meanwhile, an inspector also tells the minister about the video, and Shiv also sees the video when the central minister accidentally kills a model named Neha Sharma as she is pregnant with his child. Shiv copies the video to a pen drive while the minister kills the inspector watching the video. The minister deletes the video and thus not allowing it to be downloaded. Meanwhile, it is revealed that the minister is a candidate for being the Prime Minister. Shiv summons a meeting with the minister, where Shiv tricks him into taking a bag containing the bomb. Shiva, through a distraction, takes the minister in a train. The police are on the run. Shiv starts recording the minister while Anamika sends the link of the video to renowned news channels. Just then, the police force gathered on the spot, and they arrest Shiv. However, the video showing that the minister is saying that he killed Neha Sharma is still being telecast by a button camera which is revealed later. Seeing the video, the high command ordered the police to release Shiv and arrest the minister.

The scene then shifts to Shiv and Anamika giving Rs. 2 crore to Swaminath's daughter for her father's work, and the film ends with the two going to Shiv's home together.
