The film is set against a backdrop of Telugu refugees in Srilanka the tribe has an ancestral connection to India and still longe to come to India.
With no option Telugu refugees headed by Satyadev(Siva) work for the Srilankan smuggling syndicate.
Vijay Devarakonda(Suri) constable in a small town in India who is in search of his missing brother is sent to Srilanka on a mission as a spy.
The rest of the story is how Vijay establishes himself in the Telugu refugee tribe in Srilanka, how he wins their confidence, his connection with Satya Dev
and his tussle with the Srilankan Smuggling cartel as part of his mission.
Heroine Bhagyashri Borse is used as a padding artist who works for an Indian government to drive the story forward.
The first half is decent in setting up the story premise, establishing the spy mission thread and Vijay and Satya Dev meeting, friendship, brother hood and bonding.
Second half goes haywire with no logical conclusion, focussing more on the fictitious Telugu refugee kingdom with Vijay as their saviour and portraying the evilness of Vijay and Bhagyasri Borse.
Rating:2/5
