Plot[edit]
Guru (Prajwal) and Vishwa (Tarun), both from the same village, are best friends. They move to Bangalore in search of work and a better way of life. They join the anti-social group that is harming the everyday lives of Bangalore out of greed for quick money. Guru and Vishwa, by chance, join the two opposing gangs who are continuously at odds. Guru eventually kills Vishwa's boss, which enrages Vishwa, who vows vengeance on Guru's boss. Vishwa becomes the gang's leader and eventually kills Guru's boss. This causes a big fight between the two groups, and Vishwa's wife (Kirat) tries in vain to match up the old friends. A tough cop (Duniya Vijay) gets deployed to handle the case and what happens next forms the crux of the story.
