Plot

The film opens with the interrogation of a mole/spy, Rakesh, in a gang that belongs to Gangadhar, a politician. The mole/spy reveals that he was investigating Mallikarjun, a member of the gang, before he is killed. Abhiram, a gambling addict, is in debt of a loan shark, R. K. Abhiram makes false promises to get R. K. a contract through his contact with another politician, Basava Raju. Meanwhile, Avantika, the sister of the Rakesh, takes matters into her own hands and starts searching for her brother. It is revealed that Rakesh was not a police officer, but was working for Basava Raju. After R. K. finds out the truth about Abhiram's schemes, he threatens him to repay the debt within three days. Having nowhere to escape, Abhiram triggers a game of cat and mouse to search for the mole/spy belonging to the police.

Reception

[5] LetsOTT's Siddarth Srinivas, rated the film 2/5 and called it a "sub-standard crime drama." He added that the film stuck to the basics when it should have really tried to do something different. [6]

Rentala Jayadeva of Sakshi criticized the slow placed narration and stated: "The story never took off properly and it could not end satisfactorily.[ sic ]" [7] 123Telugu rated the film 2.75/5 and wrote, "On the whole, Pachchis is a film that has a good premise and fine taking. But it gets dull with routine scenes and lacks novelty in the latter part. The film has some good performances but the screenplay is not that effective." [8]
