Plot

Rishab, an Arjun Reddy-styled barber, is on a vengeful spree to kill Ganavi, who brokeup with him and married a crime boss named Pramod, who lives in Ashokavana estate. The estate is filled with violence from gang-wars with Pramod's old rival Tiger Ponnappa, who is later killed by Pramod. Ganavi is unhappy with her marriage as Pramod treats her poorly. Rishab leaves for Ashokavana estate for Pramod's haircut where he plans to have Pramod and Ganavi killed.

However, Pramod is killed by a vengeful Ganavi where Rishab becomes the main witness. Rishab learns about Ganavi's ill-treatment and helps her escape. The gang members learn about the duo's involvement in Pramod's death. A chase ensues and they are about to reach the exit, but are later captured by the gang and brought back to the house, intending to kill them. However, Tiger Ponnappa's son arrives and kills all the gang members and tries to kill Ganavi, but Rishab subdues and kills him. Rishab and Ganavi reunite and leave the estate happily.
