They join the anti-social group that is harming the everyday lives of Bangalore out of greed for quick money. Guru and Vishwa, by chance, join the two opposing gangs who are continuously at odds. Guru eventually kills Vishwa's boss, which enrages Vishwa, who vows vengeance on Guru's boss. Vishwa becomes the gang's leader and eventually kills Guru's boss. This causes a big fight between the two groups, and Vishwa's wife (Kirat) tries in vain to match up the old friends. A tough cop (Duniya Vijay) gets deployed to handle the case and what happens next forms the crux of the story.

Reception

Critical response

R. G. Vijayasarathy of IANS wrote that the film the same rating and wrote that "Though Geleya is a well-made film in commercial standards, it should be said that the neither the director nor the producers of the film have thought of the social consequences of making such gangster films. And both the lead artists Prajwal and Tarun look like the kids who have just passed out from their schools". [3] A critic from The Times of India rated the film three out of five stars and wrote that "While Prajwal Devaraj shows immense promise of being a future star, Tarun excels. Camerawork by Krishna is a treat for the eyes. And Mano Murthy’s music has many catchy tunes". [4] A critic from Rediff.com wrote that "Geleya may well appeal to the young and the mass audience. In a nutshell the film is high on technical aspects, but low on content -- a clichéd fare with some entertaining moments". [1] [5]
