Plot

"Karmanye Vadhikaraste," is a complex investigative thriller that begins by establishing three seemingly unrelated crime narratives in the city. The first thread follows Prudhvi, who reports a late-night hit-and-run incident. Sub-Inspector Arjun Devineni, a sincere but troubled officer, takes the case, only to find that the victim was already deceased before the collision, hinting at a meticulously covered-up murder. Simultaneously, the second thread introduces Constable Kireeti, a suspended officer determined to redeem his reputation. Kireeti discovers a minor girl who has been brutally assaulted and, against protocol, takes her into his care. Her possessions contain coded information and photos that point toward a massive criminal enterprise involved in arms dealing. The third thread introduces Jai, a charismatic and manipulative ad filmmaker who uses his profession as a front for dark activities, specifically targeting young women for drug-related abuse and entrapment. As the investigations deepen, both Arjun and Kireeti independently begin to sense that the individual crimes they are pursuing—the staged accident, the assaulted minor, and Jai's predatory behavior—are all interlinked. The clues, initially fragmented, start forming a pattern that reveals a single, massive underground network dealing in human trafficking, espionage, and illegal arms smuggling. The climax sees the convergence of Arjun and Kireeti's efforts, possibly with the aid of an uncredited NIA operative, Yagna. They realize they are fighting against a powerful, faceless organization with connections spanning political figures and high-ranking officials. The non-linear narrative culminates in a high-stakes confrontation where the investigators, guided by their sense of duty (Karmanye Vadhikaraste), risk everything to dismantle the network, bringing the perpetrators of these interconnected crimes to justice.
