Major Chandrakanth (Ananthavelu) found a man lying by the road when jogging and admitted him to the hospital. It is Sudeep. Sudeep recovers from his injuries. He starts to find about himself with the help of Major's daughter Priya (Rakshitha). A stranger noticed him and shouted, "Are you still alive?" Sudeep chased him to find out, but escapes to Basappa Ullagaddi (Swasthik Shankar) and tells him about it.
Police arrest Sudeep and Priya to question them. A police officer comes to the station and notices him, surprisingly salutes him. Sudeep is Ajay Kumar Sarnayak. Ajay Kumar regains his memory.
Ajay Kumar Sarnayak, an honest ACP, fights crime. He arrests Basappa Ullagaddi and his companions for smuggling and extortion. Ajay's sister marries Ullagaddi's son. One day they poisoned him and killed his sister. He is saved by Major Chandrakant.
Ajay, regaining his memory, returns to his home and, acting as forgotten, plots revenge on Basappa Ullagaddi. On his mother's request, he takes his sister's baby. Ajay plots a kidnapping drama and kills Basappa Ullagaddi and his all companions.
Hubballi marks the third collaboration of Sudeep with Om Prakash Rao after Huchcha and Partha. This film's opening scene where Sudeep acting as a completely memory loss man, is loosely adapted from Tamil movie Ghajini (2005).

WebIndia123 wrote "After the first half, when out for a coke or a smoke, you may expect a better treat in the second half. But unfortunately the rest of the film is filled with fisticuffs and so-called 'emotional' sequences that leave you entirely unmoved". [2] Indiaglitz wrote "This is nothing but an action fare for Sudeep fans". [3] Now Running wrote ""Hubli" ends up as an ordinary above average fair only because of some weak narration in the second half. The film may look good even if some portions are trimmed in the second half". [4] RG Vijayasarathy of Rediff.com scored the film at 2.5 out of 5 stars and says "Hubballi is enjoyable only for Sudeep's performance and Rakshitha's comedy timing, but it requires a lot of patience to sit through the lengthy stunts and melodrama in the second half."
