Plot

The DSD team, which consist of Mahendran as its head, find that an asteroid will hit earth in seven months, threatening the lives of people in and around Chennai. The only way to destroy the asteroid would be with a heavy missile, but upon learning about the small amount of time they have, they decide to recover the missile through illegal means. The team goes ahead with this secret mission with only the Prime Minister, Home Minister and Defence Minister aware of the mission. The biggest challenge is taking it to space, which will only be possible by expert thieves. An escape artist Vasu and his friends Venkat and Appu are hired. Joining them are DSD members Swathi and Raguram. After training, they board the spacecraft Dhruva 1. Before launch, Vasu hears a mysterious voice on the voice channel in his communication device. The voice tells him that Ravi, Vasu's son, has been kidnapped. In order to release him, Vasu must do whatever the voice tells him.

Dhruva 1 has a successful launch en route to the space station. The voice tells Vasu to cut some wires, which would cause a fuel leak. He feigns unconsciousness before proceeding to cut the wires. When Venkat questions him, Vasu tells him about Ravi's kidnapping. This causes Dhruva 1 to spiral out of control and crash land on the moon. The crew steps out to do repairs to the ship, where they find the wires cut. The ship is repaired, but the ship has little fuel. Vasu suggests that refueling from the space station, so that they would have an excuse to enter the station. They agree to the plan and request permission to refuel from the space station, which the crew on board the space station approves. Dhruva 1 then leaves the moon, bound for the space station. However, images of Vasu cutting the wires are discovered by Lt. Gen. T. Rithika and brought to Mahendran's attention. However, Mahendran does not pursue the matter further.

Meanwhile, Dhruva 1 successfully docks at the space station, but the crew are arrested by the crew members, under Captain Li Wei. It is revealed that the crew of the station know the true intentions behind Dhruva 1's mission, and intend to hold them off, so that the asteroid will hit the Bay of Bengal, destroying India, whilst profiting their country with the major rebuilding projects. While in the space station, Venkat and Appu hack the space station, causing a power outage, while Vasu obtains Captain Li Wei's fingerprint and iris in order to enter the chamber with the missile. Vasu manages to make the missile disappear without the alarm system triggering. Captain Li Wei realizes and interrogates them, physically assaulting the crew. Vasu says that the missile is in Dhruva 1, but when some of the crew follow Vasu, he kills them on the ship, and conveys a message through Swathi that the missile is pointed at the capital of the country owning the missile, and that he will launch the missile at the city if the crew of Dhruva 1 is not released.

Dhruva 1's crew are released and proceed to the ship, while Vasu goes to the chamber holding the missile, where it is revealed that the missile was there the whole time, and steals the missile and exits the ship through space, but hits a piece of the station, puncturing his spacesuit and causing the oxygen tank to leak. However, he successfully manages to get the missile to Dhruva 1. The ship departs from the space station, and Vasu is revived. Meanwhile, Dhruva 2 arrives to refuel Dhruva 1. It is now known why the wires had to be cut, in order for Dhruva 2 to be mobilised. While the mysterious voice instructs Vasu to hand over the missile to the crew of Dhruva 2, Rithika hears this from Mahendran's communication device, and goes to his office, where Mahendran kills her, revealing that he is the mysterious voice and that he wants to sell the missile on the black market.

Meanwhile, Dhruva 1 successfully refuels and heads to the asteroid to fire the missile, where the crew realised that the missile is missing. Meanwhile, Ravi is released. Mahendran shows the images of Vasu sabotaging the ship and tells that Vasu was the cause of this. The crew realizes that India will be destroyed. However, they reveal that the missile is still on board the spacecraft and is ready to be fired. It is revealed, that Vasu had notified Swathi and Raghuram about the mysterious voice, and that he gave a decoy of the missile to Dhruva 2. The systems on the ship were hacked to reflect the asteroid passing a safety line when it had not. The missile is fired, and the asteroid is split into half, avoiding the earth. However, Dhruva 1 is hit by debris and is about to explode. The crew evacuate the ship in time and reach Earth. Ravi reveals the truth about Mahendran as he had grabbed a gold chain belonging to him. Days later, Mahendran presents medals to the Dhruva 1 crew, where Vasu reveals that the whole crew knows about Mahendran, who proceeds to kill himself backstage while Vasu, Appu and Venkat walk away.
