Some miscreants have attacked
the North Zone Prison

and taken Tower One under their control

Please send the backup
force immediately

Special Task Force Officer, Chengappa
has been transferred from Kerala

Ask him to report immediately!

(Chengappa reading a newspaper)
(98.3 FM Jingle)

A man arrested for
raping a 10-year-old girl

has gone missing from the police
custody since yesterday night

This is the fourth such
incident this year

where prisoners have gone missing
So where are these culprits then escaping to?

The city police commissioner
is holding a press meet this evening

to give more information
about the incidents

Sir

Bullets

Sir

What do I do with the ashes?

Only those who have led
an honourable life

deserve to go with dignity

Sir

You have got a call from the CM office

It seems like an emergency situation

Sir

The situation is critical

Sir

They have taken the entire jail
under their control

The home minister who was inside the jail
has been taken hostage

Hence there is severe pressure

from the central government
to get things under control

Sir, any updates on how
many attackers are there?

There is no information yet
on their number

or why they targeted the jail

Okay sir

No demands have been made yet either

In fact, we still have not been able
to communicate with them!

Anyway

Let me introduce you to
Mr Shekar and Mr Parameshwar

They will brief you about
the developments so far

Sure sir

Good luck!

Thank You, sir

Sir, it's an emergency situation.
Red alert has been issued!

Sir

Sir, it's an emergency situation.
Red alert has been issued!

Sir, all this started at around 9AM today

As part of the jail privatization initiative

all the inmates were asked
to assemble in the main corridor

VIPs will be entering through
the front gate

Get the new inmates from the back gate

You guys, stop right there.
Come back here. Fast

Shambulinga, where are you taking them?

Sir instructed us to bring the inmates to
the main arena to attend the event

We had asked you to bring only the
undertrials not the notorious criminals!

God knows how you even
landed this warden position!

Sir, the undertrials were not
in sufficient number

so the seating area looked empty

Get how many ever inmates you want
to fill this place up,

barring the criminals in Tower six

Got it?

Yes, sir!

Our jailer is a strict man

He doesn’t forgive those
who have sinned

and yet an inmate tried
to escape from the prison today

and got caught by him

(Distant Noise)

Come on, Pull.. Pull harder

Pull, pull…. come on tug harder

(Laughs)

Our inmates are really strong aren’t they?

Yes, Sir

Admit him to the hospital

Will do sir

You people have only five minutes.
The function is about to start

Finish talking and come back quickly

(Crowd talking)

How are you?

I’m okay. You?

Was the bail granted?

The lawyer says
it will be granted tomorrow

Did you arrange the money?

(Emotional Music)

I did not have a
choice but to sell it

I can somehow digest the fact
that my husband is in the jail

but I don’t want our child to be haunted
by the fact that it’s father is behind bars

Okay, cheer up

Look at this.
Do you like it?

This is what I made for our baby.
It’s going to be my first gift

In spite of stiff opposition

the government has gone ahead
and passed the prison privatization bill

The opposition parties are
protesting against this move

Retired CBI chief Vaman Srinivasan
has been entrusted

with the responsibility
of the privatization project

The idea of prison privatization
has been receiving a lot of flak

Former CBI Head Vaman Srinivasan
has arrived at the jail to kick start the project

along with the Home Minister
and cine actor Madhu Kumar

(Media Reportage)

Okay, okay! I understand that
you have a lot of questions

I get that you are skeptical
about this move as well

But be rest assured as it is not us

but the government that will be
running the prison

In fact, I will only be in charge
of the administration

See, anyone can make a mistake

All we are trying to do here is
to create an atmosphere

which enables him/her to change

Thus this privatization

Okay

Sir, sources suggest that you
lobbied for the administration tender

Is it true?

Are you forgetting that I
am a former CBI officer?

How can you even associate
my name with bribery!

Stop spreading these rumours!

Sir…. One more question,
Sir just answer us …

(Police controlling the media)

(Prisoners talking)

All of you form a single line

(Dramatic musical sting)

Around the same time

Prasanna, who is an inmate
and informer told us that

a gang would soon enter the prison,
get arrested

and kill an inmate lodged here!

So our focus shifted entirely on
identifying that gang

(Dramatic musical sting)

(Police inspecting new prisoners)

Mohan, enter

Keerthi, enter

Sir, the identities of these people
are not matching those on this list

What do we do?

Who are you guys??

Show your I.D Card

Enter

(Media reportage)

Mam, what took you so long?

Sorry, Let’s get down to work

Okay, ready

As you all know

Former CBI Head Vaman Sreenivasan,
Home Minister and actor Madhukumar

have arrived at the Central Jail

to participate in the foundation
stone laying ceremony

that signifies the kick starting of
the prison privatization programme

Stay tuned to TV 24 for more live updates

This is Lakshmi reporting live
with cameraperson Mahesh

This privatisation initiative aims at

upgrading the quality of prisoners' life

You should step out of
this place as a better person

and this privatisation
is a step in that direction

Many change makers have
been to jail at least once in their life!

In fact, prisons have been the
home ground for several revolutions

You may recall

how even Lord Krishna’s birth
happened in confinement

So basically, prison is a place
where a God was once born

but the general perception is that
it is a playground of the demons!

Basically you see
what you want to see

(Claps)

If you are like Bhakta Prahalada
(reference to Indian mythology)

you will see God everywhere

But if you feel akin to Hiranyakashipu

you will also see God,
only it will be in the form of Ugranarasimha!

So work on controlling your
anger, arrogance and aggression

or else like Hiranyakashipu

you too will become a victim of
your own anger

What was that dialogue again??

Who am I?
I am the son of Kashyapabramha…

Ah, right! “Who am I?
I am the son of Kashyapa…”

"BOOM"

(Prisoners Screaming)

What was that?

Run for your lives

My eyes are burning

(Police Charging)

(Intense Music)

(Bomb Explosion)

(Bomb Explosion)

Sir, a bomb has exploded
inside the jail

It was filled with chilly powder

It’s becoming difficult
to control the situation

I need some backup support

Sir, I can’t spot Vaman anywhere

He is the one who is

Yes, Sir

Make sure he doesn’t escape

Okay Sir

(Chaos outside the jail premises)
(Media questioning the police about the blast)

Get inside..
Hurry up..

(Intense Music)

This is what happened
today morning sir

A part of our IT cell

has been converted into
a makeshift base camp

Sir,
In Tower One

there are approximately
140-150 inmates and 21 police personnel

This apart, Mr Vaman, our home minster
and others have also been taken hostage

This tower is also where
VIP prisoners are lodged

This is our most
important tower

as this houses
our record room as well

What is odd is that

the data of all the prisoners
have been deleted

Yes, and this has made it difficult

to identify the real inmates from those
who have entered the prison now

To retrieve the data we will
require a minimum of 72 hours

As of now,
we don't have any IDs

or count of prisoners captured inside

Looks like I am not the only one
who does not know anything

you people seem to be equally clueless too!

One of the team members
have been captured by us

He was injured during the firing

Okay. Do you have
any CCTV footage of the incident?

No, sir

Realizing the importance of
Tower One, they have captured it

They have even erased
the CCTV footage hard disk

that’s in the jailer’s room

We are trying to recover it

but looks like it’s going to be
a futile attempt

What about the captured guy?

He was shot during the cross fire

The doctor expects him to regain
consciousness in the next 20 minutes

Issue a statement saying he is dead

Sir, why would you do that?

If they realize he is alive

they will negotiate with us
for his release by making demands

but if we say he is dead

we can just get down to opening
an inquiry without any further delays

Lead me to Tower One

This way sir

Sir, Tower One

Sir, they have sent us
their demand list

They are releasing
a doctor and two inmates

and expect us to send back
these medicines with them

Looks like one of them is injured

Why just medicine?

If he asks for it,
give him a chopper even!

People come to jail
after commiting a mistake,

but this fellow has come to jail
to make a mistake!

Who is he?

(Title Music)

(CBI vehicles charging)

(Officers conducting search operation)

We are from the CBI

And here is our search warrant

Sir, why are you conducting
a raid on our warehouse?

We are acting on a tip off that
we received. Please co-operate

Come on, come on

Vaman

Yes, sir

You search this area
and also seize everyone’s mobile

And put them in a cover

Come on, move fast

Prabhu, you check this region

Check all the racks thoroughly

Come on boys, be quick

Bring down those boxes
and check what’s inside them

Sir..

Gentleman, you relax,
go take a seat

Officers, make sure no
one exits from the back door

Be sure to scan
every nook and corner

Open every cover and check

Come on, be quick

Sir, we questioned everyone here
and inspected every area

There is nothing suspicious

Sir

Even we searched everywhere
and there is nothing suspicious

Sir, looks like we were misled

This place is filled with
nothing but factory goods

We apologise for the inconvenience

you may resume your work

Everyone
Leave

(Dramatic musical sting)

(Dramatic musical sting)

(Power Cut)

(Shoot Out)

Sir, we arrived on the site
an hour ago

and the situation is now
under control

There are four casualties

And a couple of minor injury cases

Yes, sir

yes, yes, sir

Clear the area, quick

Sir, we had seized the gold

and were taking into account the quantity
when the power went off

Sir, please come here immediately

See what has happened here

Sir….

Chandrashekhar sir is shot dead

(Dramatic Music)

Sir, as instructed by you

We have captured them all
and lodged them in separate cells

Everything is under control

You may now execute the Plan A

How is Vaman?

There was a doctor
amongst the hostages

And he is attending to him

His injury has led to a severe blood loss

If the bullet is not removed
as soon as possible from Vaman’s body

it may pose a threat to his life it seems!

There is one more problem

Jeeva is now in police custody

Make arrangements to fetch
the medical equipment

needed to operate on Vaman

He should be kept alive at any cost

You both get the fire crackers ready

Going by the way things
are panning out

we may have to burst them
sooner than we expected

We will celebrate this year’s Deepavali

With a bang

It’s already been three hours

since the miscreants took
control of the jail

but the police is yet to issue
an official statement

regarding the present situation

Special Task Force Chief Chengappa

has been made the case in-charge

Please let me know

about the situation inside

We can’t do all that now.
Stop bothering me

Sir please, sir..
Let me talk to him once

Already we are having trouble
controlling the media and public

Don’t add to our woes.
Just leave

Lakshmi

All Channels are airing exclusive news

What the hell are you doing?

Sir, but we are not being allowed
to enter the jail

That’s not my problem! We won't
get this kind of opportunity again and again

I need breaking news
from your end

in the next one hour

If not just come and
hand in your resignation

Is Anyone there?

No, it's clear

Sir, in one hour’s time,
I’ll come up with some good news

No one is interested in good news

Make sure you have something
sensational to report

Breaking news it seems

How will I go searching
for breaking news in this rain?

Is everything ready?

Sir, like you suggested

we have hidden a microphone
in the BP machine

and inside the stethoscope
we have placed a spycam

These are pregabalin capsules
used as pain killers

We have also kept
microphone chips inside this

Even if this is consumed,
no harm will be done

Sir, they are coming out

We have to scan those three
once they are back

The police would have installed
bugs in the items we have asked for

The only way to detect them is

by using the metal detectors
inside the jail

But these detectors are 10 years old

and continuous power supply
is required to operate them

So we have to depend on
the visuals of the spy camera

and cut power supply
to specific areas only

Okay, okay

Sir, the doctor is entering
the medical block

Play that on the monitor
Okay, sir

You see those two prisoners
with the doctor?

Yes, sir

Find me officers whose physiques
are akin to those of the two prisoners

These two have been inmates
of this jail over the past ten years

So there is no way that
they belong to that gang

So they have sent one of our own
prisoners and not one of their own

Sir, they are entering Tower One

Excellent
Yes correct,

Yes. Right
Correct

I can see

One

Two

Three

Four
Cut

Code

There is a code.
Ask them what the code is

Tell me the code

Tell the code

Take off your masks

Sir, it’s Ravana sir

Ravana, Ravana!

Ravana

Only one Hanuman was sent to
Ravana's palace,

so where did this second one
come from!?

Didn’t get my point?

Well, among the two I
sent, one of them was mute

What are your names?

Sir, he can’t talk.
He can't talk sir

They are not the ones we sent,

bash and imprison them
in a cell

Turn around.
Walk

Doctor..
Yes..

Shall we start the treatment?
Okay

Sir, we have to cautiously plan
our every move,

they seem to be ahead of us
in their thinking

Our Plan A has failed

but we can’t let our Plan B
go to waste

Get started, all the best
Cheer up, guys!

Activate those audio and video bugs

(Voice bit of a famous
social media influencer)

(Voice bit of a famous
social media influencer)

(Voice bit of a famous
social media influencer)

What's this?
No idea sir

Then how?

that are inside the jail

They may be dysfunctional

or there may be a power cut
at some point in time

So let’s have a backup plan.
Just in case

And this is our back up plan

Guys

You all will be aware of
the FM stations played on the transistors

But how many know of the AM feature?

Simply put

the AM frequency level
in the transistor remains constant

It changes only

when it comes in contact
with any electronic device

be it a mobile phone or a spy cam

This happens because all these
devices emit radio frequencies

So this transistor is good
enough to detect bugs

If those chasing culprits
have one way to catch them,

those on the run, have
100 ways to escape...always!

they have started a live stream
using the camera we inserted

Guys, come here

Hi sir, this is Kumar

I am in no way connected
to these people

They have given me this paper

and asked me to read from it

I can’t even follow the handwriting

Shall I read in my own style?

This is a warning!

Stop indulging in this kind of
a cat and mouse game

This won’t work on people like me

You will receive the demand list
in an hour’s time

Until then shut your trap!

With Cameraman.. nobody,

this is Kumar reporting from
north zone prison

By now he would have realized

that more attractive the war field,
more horrifying the war

Congratulations are in order

for having conducted
a successful raid

It’s the first time that something of
this magnitude has been seized

Good Job

Thank You, sir

Thank You

You stopped the seized goods

from falling into
the hands of terrorists

I asked for this meeting as

I wanted to discuss
something important

Sir

According to your report,

the seized gold amounts to 100 kgs.

Am i right?

But my Intel suggests that

There was over 1000 kgs of gold

So I’ll give you 48 hours time
to solve this issue

or else the media will get behind it

Otherwise, I will hand the case
over to the CIA

Okay Sir

Who could have committed such
a henious crime in our department?

How many kgs?

200

200.
Sir,

How much gold was seized?

Sir, almost 1000kgs

1000?

But why is he saying
it's only 200 kgs??

Come on boys. Be quick

Fast. Make it fast

Come on, search there again

Sir, what’s happening here?

Look properly inside the drawer again.
Quickly we don’t have the whole day

Sir, sir why are you
searching my house?

You don’t have anything
to worry about

This is just a mandatory drill

Who are all of you?
Prabhu what is this?

Vaman sir, what’s happening here?
Who are they?

Don’t worry this is just
a normal search

What are you saying sir?

Prabhu, what is this?

There is more of this inside.
We are seizing it

This? What is this Prabhu?

Geetha, I have no idea.

Sir, you know about me

Officers, take him into custody.

Prabhu..
Sir, sir please wait

Geetha, someone is trying to frame me

Vaman sir, please.
Please listen to me

Why are you talking him sir.
Prabhu..

(Intense Music)

It’s been an hour Prabhu

If you don’t want to be
treated like a thief,

you should stop answering like one

If you are not able to find an answer
even after an hour long enquiry,

it means that I’m lying or

that you don’t want
to see the truth

Officer, also just know that the
truth won’t change with passing time

Shut up Prabhu. I have
seen many an officer like you

I’m being honest with you.
Trust me

I was the one who gave
a tip off about this scam

happening inside the department
through Intelligence officer Altaf

What?

But now someone is
trying to frame me only

Check with Altaf if you don’t trust me

I’ll call you back wait, I am
at work. Who are you sir?

We are from the CBI
and are here to meet Altaf

He is not here

But he asked me to hand over this
to anyone who comes from the CBI

To me?

Yes, sir

Prabhu’s life is in danger

Don’t trust anyone around you

Produce him in front of
the magistrate immediately

And don’t try to look for me

Sir, Prabhu, who was under our custody,
has committed suicide

We don’t know what to do

What?? I’ll be right there

(Dramatic Music)

Excuse me, doctor

Sir, sir please don’t disturb him.

How is he feeling now?

He is a heart patient and due to stress,
he has had a panic attack

If you try to push him to do anything,
he might die of a heart attack

Okay,Okay
But even when my beloved wife died,

I didn’t shed a tear. See, even now
I’m leading a normal life

So how do I care if this fellow dies?

Please calm down

Please you be there

Doctor

Please give me two minutes!

The doctor says you will die if you
suffer from one more panic attack

but I’ve already
announced that you are dead

Your family

Sir, you can’t …

Don't interrupt

And teammates think
you died two hours ago

So if I put an end
to your life unofficially now

no one can question me
in official capacity even!

So just answer these two
questions of mine and I will let you go

In fact, I’ll arrange for you
to settledown in a foreign country,

What say?

Tell me, why you entered the jail ?

Why are you trembling?

Is your leader so scary?

No

Then?

Is he a gangster?

A don perhaps?

A terrorist then??

If not who the hell is he?

Tell me? Is he God then?

In fact, he is the very opposite of that

(Intense musical buildup)

Who is he?
He is Gho..Gho..

I have scared more people
with my eyes

than you have ever scared
with your guns!

They call me OG

Who is he?

Sir I have already warned you
He will suffer from panic attack

Sir, I asked you to leave him alone,
please

Send his photos to all the
stations and verify his identity

This test is being done to identify
the 100 plus prisoners

who have been captured

That’s right sir

If they write the names of
their fellow inmates,

then it would be easy to identify
those captured

Yes sir

Sir, these guys are trying to misguide us.

What?

They are purposefully
writing down false names

Looks like they know about
the missing prisoners’ records

I thought so!

Actually this wasn’t my plan at all.

Shekar, you do know that

Ravana has ten heads
whereas Ram has only one

Tell me why?

Why sir?

Because evil people have
higher thinking capacity!

Only the police and the gang members
knew about the missing police records,

but given that the rest of
them in this tower found out,

it only means one thing

And that is someone from the gang
is amongst these guys.

He is the one communicating
all this information

All the calls and walkie-talkies
are being monitored,

yet if they have managed
to establish contact,

we have to quickly identify
the black sheep

If we do this we can arrest all
the gang members, who are inside

Sir, we have received a
fax from Tower One

“I know that Jeeva is alive”

How did they figure out
that he is alive? How??

Don’t give these guys
any food today

You are being given full authority
over these guys

so make sure they spit the truth out
about the line of communication!

(Dramatic Music)

Yes.
How can I help you?

Yes

I am a journalist and heard that
you train animals

and give them for film shooting

So I wanted to do a story on you

Well, Prior to this, I was
training animals in circus

After they banned the
same, I started this centre

And I know that

you are not a journalist

What do you need from me?

A favour

So you need me to send in
a trained guard dog inside the jail

Not a dog

Then?

(Buildup Music)

(Intense Music)

(Jeeva is alive)

Hello, who is this? I have received
several missed calls from this number

It’s me

Papa?

Sir, an outgoing call made from
within the jail has been traced

Hope you are okay papa, given
that the jail has been attacked

I am in the same tower as them.
But don’t worry about me

Tell me how you are

Papa, they are threatening
to remove me from my job

I’m very worried as if I lose this job,
it will become difficult

to fend for mom’s medical bills,
pay your lawyer fee and clear the loans

Why would they do that to you?

Who knows?

Because I’m unable to
churn out breaking news

Looks like someone in Tower One
is equipped with a phone,

call that number and patch me

Will exclusive news save your career?

May be.
Who knows?

Okay, let me then update you

with a minute by minute account
of what’s happening here,

Go report the same
and save your job

Please don’t run that risk

We don’t even know
who these people are

You have already committed a
crime for me and gone in there

Let’s not do this.
I’ll find another job

Yes, you may find another job,

but the humiliation
you will have to go through

for not delivering the results
at your work place

is going to become unbearable

Any parent will readily take risks

if the outcome means
his/her child’s success

Father, still…

I promise to come out of here alive,

I will hear only praises about your work,

the moment I step out

Will you promise me that?

Okay

I Promise

Sir, what are you trying to do?

I’m trying to free myself

And what do you think you
can achieve by doing that?

I have an idea
Okay

There are four notorious
criminals in a restricted cell

I plan to bring them out

And take their help
to sabotage the plan of this gang

And why would they help you?

They will do anything
to get out of here

Now help me get rid of this rope

Sir, that’s a nylon rope.
It will cut open your wrist

Let’s try to cut it with this
pendent as it has sharp edges

Sir, like you said,
I have reached this block

Okay, how many people are there?

There are around six people
but they have their masks on,

So I am unable to identify them

But I can tell you the
numbers on their uniform

Go ahead

313
313

525
Okay

318
Okay

171
Fine

720

618

Sorry, 613

Find out the identity of prisoners
who were assigned with these numbers

Very good Prasanna

Keep up the good work and
update me regularly

I will then make arrangements
for your release,

once we succeed with this operation

Thank You, sir

If you are not helpful,

I’ll make sure
you can’t die in here

or go out and live
with your daughter either!

Got it?

Sir..sir…

Sir, the prisoners who
were assigned these numbers

have all been released

Their planning is on point

Sir

We are getting
a call from Tower One

Hello

It’s me Kumar,
the one who had made the video call

This is their demand list

Please pay attention,

If you miss out on anything,
I’m not going to be responsible

Metamorphin-2 sheets

Peracetamol-2 sheets

ORS Juice-200 tetra packs

Does someone have loose motion here?

Sir, sorry that was not for you,
I was checking with someone here

Bandage and cotton

Water bottles-20

Rantax- 2 sheets

Asprin-2 sheets

Mosquito coils...

There are too many
mosquitoes here you see

Sir, I am allergic to coils

so can you please send
odomos instead?

Brother,

can I order coconut water also please?

I’m suffering from heat

Actually, if we ask for
some beds and injections,

we can set up a hospital
with all these materials no?

This is it for now

You will be sent another
demand list in an hour’s time

Hey, put it on speaker

Okay sir

I know you are listening to me

You better surrender

There is no way that you will survive
for too long even if you escape from here.

How long do you think
you’ll be on the run?

One day?

A week?

One month?

A year at the most?

However long it is,
I am going to catch up with you!

The unfulfilled desires, that I have buried
deep inside my heart are nothing!

Compared to the number of criminals
I have killed

Got it? Can you hear me??
Can you hear me???

Shit!

Hello, it’s me Kumar, the one
who made the video call before!

This is their demand list.
Please pay attention

If you miss out on anything,
I’m not going to be responsible

Play that audio clip again

Sure Sir..

Hello, it’s me Kumar,
the one who made the video call before!

(Kumar reading demand list)

This fellow who spoke just now...

what was his profession
before being arrested?

Sir, he used to work at
the Hopkins Stroke

and Paralysis Rehabilitation Centre

He was convicted for administering
slow poison to a patient

to make some quick bucks

Play his first video byte

Yes, that’s the one

Hi sir, I am Kumar.
I am in no way related to them

Yes

I think he is trying
to pass us a message

Ask a doctor from Hopkins hospital
to come here right away

Yes, sir

Hey, bare your hands

Sir, sir..

Show me you hand

Sir..

Show your hand

Cut it sir, cut it

Yes, come in!

Show me your hands

Big deal, see

And you?

Sir..

Where’s the other guy?

He fainted and is not responding
to our calls

Where is he?
get up, get up, get up

Yes, Doctor

Sir..

Please carry on

Okay doctor,
what do you have to say about these visuals?

It’s coded

Why do you think so?

We communicate with
paralysis patients,

who are experiencing
speech difficulties,

through eye blinks
or what we call Morse codes

This technique was used by
an American war prisoner,

while he was being interviewed by
the Chinese media

He during the interview,
without actually voicing it

but only by blinking his eyes
in a certain way

conveyed that he was being tortured

We use the same technique today

in our medical treatment
to commnicate

Can you then decode this for us?

Yes, give me some time please

Okay.
Please..

Play that once more

(Intense Music)

One person

Everyone

Seen

One person has seen everyone

Be careful. Good luck

You better not try to
escape from here

I’ll go get those four goons

Copy that boss!

Hold this you jack ass

Okay sir, I’ll leave

You fool,
do you even have any acting skills?

Acting and Me?

Yes

Haha, I have got three awards.

I am better than
Manirathnam in acting!

Idiot, go cleanse your mouth using petrol
for having said that first!

Manirathnam is a director
not an actor

Sir, there is an actor by that name,
it’s just that you are not aware!

For sure, you’ll land up
being dead today

In fact I’ll personally write
to Shivarajkumar,

asking him to shoot
your head off!

So,

we have one guy in our custody who
has seen and knows all these people

and if we find out who this guy is,

it’s as good as figuring out the identities of
the rest of them, correct?

Yes sir!

Sir, but how can we find out
the identity of this one guy

amongst Karnataka’s
six crore population?

Hmm… Do you have a girlfriend?

Yes, sir!

Then if you were able
to find yourself a girl

and say she is the one for me
amongst these six crore people,

you think you can’t figure out
who this guy is??

It can be done sir

Then stop wasting time
and figure his identity out!

Yes Sir.

Send Jeeva's photo
to every police station

and upload it on all
social media platforms

Announce a cash award of Rs one
crore for whoever recognizes Jeeva.

Okay, sir

I’ll also see how long he
can hide his identity from us!

Go, get to work

(News reportage)
The police department has announced

a cash award of Rs one crore to whoever
identifies the man in this photograph

However, the one’s providing
false information

will be put behind bars
for a period of seven years

Guys, we have a problem

You are all sentenced to
lifetime imprisonment

I'm giving you guys an opportunity

But if you do as I say,

I will get you guys
out of this jail, alive!

And remember,

you should be loyal to me!
It’s okay even if your clothes get soiled,

but don’t dirty your conscience

Sir, we have some good news

We have received over a 1000 calls
over the past one hour

and only two of the callers was aware
of Jeeva’s stammering issue.

They are in our custody now

Sir, I am from Raichur

and I work as a server at a hotel

One day someone approached
my owner asking him

to assign someone who could provide
them with breakfast and lunch for two months

I was blindfolded and taken to
a destination that was quite far away

and for the next few months,
I catered to their food requirements

Someone called Ramanna
from Nanjangud is here to meet you sir

He claims that one day while
he was about to shut his shop down,

he was approached by two men
and one of them was Jeeva

They gave him Rs 25,000 in cash

And requested him to urgently
Phonepay a doctor at a hospital

However, he says he may not be
able to identify the men,

who came that day as it was already
very late in the night and dark

If we figure out who that doctor is,
we will know who the patient was!

How is he doing?

I have operated upon him
and extracted the bullet

He will regain his consciousness
in the next two hours

Inform me once that happens

Okay

His life is very important to us

Arrange for a sketch artist
to come here immediately

Contact the local police and ask them
to fetch details on the hospital

I need every bit of information on him
in the next half hour. Half hour only!

All this bravery and shenanigan
is going to last

only till his mask comes off!

Once I know who he is,
I will show him what fear is!

It’s one nothing not to
respect the police system,

but he should surely fear us!

Sir, sir…
I have forgotten to get an injection

Okay, get it and come back quickly

Sir, I called the hospital
and got some information

The patient’s name is Surappa
and he is 54 years old

H is wife’s name is Nanjamma

They had come to Rona district
as contract labourers

A drunk Surappa met with an accident
while heading back from work

He was then treated at the hospital
and discharged even

The patient had given
his temporary address

but we found no one there
when we went

Also it was a government hospital

and the doctor has had Rs 25,000
transferred to his account

This information has come as
a shot in the arm!

What I want is not any shot,

I am aiming at the bull’s eye only

I have a plan!

It's possible that Surappa is related
to one of the gang members

Send the letter with all the details
to Tower One

(Intense Music)

(Fight)

Play that again

Sir, the letter has been sent

How long has it been since you did that?

10 minutes sir

Sir, sir…

Where is he?

There was a call that was made
from Tower One right?

Yes, sir

Connect me to that number

Sure, sir

(Phone Rings)

(Phone Rings)

(Phone Rings)

(Phone Rings)

Sir, I’m not able connect

Reconnect

Ok Sir

(Phone Rings)

(Phone Rings)

(Phone Rings)

So am I talking to the boss
or his sidekick?

Anyway I have two things to say.

Number 1… Siddhu, who used to supply food
to you guys during your farm stay

He is now in my custody
and we are interrogating him

Second, I have sent a letter to Tower One

and in that are details of
one of your gang member's family

In an hour’s time

I’m going to hand out details, address
and photos about all your families

To the media

With that I am also going to release
a piece of information saying that

You guys are there to release the terrorists
who are a threat to our nation

And yes my reaction to your act
may have been a bit delayed,

but public outrage is going to be instant!

They may attack your homes,
pelt stones at your people

and who knows even
burn alive your families!

If you don’t want all this to happen,

kneel down before me
and surrender to us in the next half hour

This letter was delivered by
the police to Tower On

I’m trying to reach Ghost
and tell him about this

but he is nowhere to be seen

Oh crap!

Who saw Ghost last and where?

He came to check on Vaman
a while ago

But after that I have heard
nothing from him

What do you mean?

Guys, don’t panic.
Let’s look for them

If everything is normal,
fire one shot

If not?

If you think something is fishy,
then take two air shots.

Let’s meet at the Tower One gate
in the next 15 minutes.

Okay?

Yes, yes
Good luck guys, good luck!

So eyes portion is okay
and the nose is also looking similar?

So far so good right?

OK. Continue ma'am.
We want you to do this as soon as possible

Sir, the jailer has escaped
with the help of four prisoners

and managed to capture
the gang leader

The jailer escaped?

Yes, sir

What a plus!

Shekar, once it’s completed,
send the sketch to Tower One

Sure, sir

The pressure will mount on them

Will do sir

Sir, Chengappa is on line

Thomas, listen to me,
you don’t do anything

as we don’t know
how many of them are there

First figure out how
to come out of there,

the rest we will plan later.

Sir

With me is a prisoner called Fox Ajith

He knows a route through which
we can escape from here

We will come out the same way

You use the same route
to send in the commandos

Very good. But be careful

This jailer spoke about everything else
but our release

He is here with us anyway,
so let’s kill him and escape

His gang has no choice now
but to surrender

Okay, keep me updated

Wow, so basically,
you need us to get out and to come in,

so what use are you to us in that case??

Hey! What are you saying?

(Jailer Attacked)

Go, you go!

Sir, we have found a match
to the sketch in our database

Let's go

We have only five minutes left.

And given that we have not
received any signal,

I feel something is wrong

If you ask me,
it’s best to surrender

Why are you being so negative?
Let’s wait for five minutes

Have you lost your mind ?

You want to see
our families perish??

But did we work
this hard to surrender?

What the hell!
Why are you getting tensed?

Hey, hey….what are you guys doing?

(Gun Shots)

Shit. What did you do sir?

Sir, sir…please let me be,
please don’t harm me. Please sir..

You are the only one who knows the way
out of here

I'll show the way out sir

Will you lead the way or …?

Where is he? Find him,
go search, search

Doctor! What are you looking at?
Go search

Two gun shots? That means…

Go.
check what that is.

Is the sketch ready?

Ready Sir

Very good

Sir, it matches the identity of a psycho
killer who was encountered 15 years ago

Psycho killer you say?

Yes sir

I think it’s a wrong match!

How?

Doctor?

Sir

You said he would remain unconscious
for a minimum of four hours,

where is he now?!

But I did spike his water.
May be the tablet got diluted

He could not have gone too far

But we should find him
before he finds some water to drink!

Hey!

Sir, the sketch sent to us is not the one
that was confirmed by the boy

Not that??

Not that Sir

Where are they?

They both went to have breakfast

What?
Are you crazy?

How can someone be
so irresponsible really?

Sir, someone claiming
to be a sketch artist has come now sir

Sir, I am the artist appointed
by the government

I got a bit delayed
as my vehicle broke down

It’s common sense to let someone in
after checking their ID!

Go search for them right away!

(Intense Music)

(Doctor Attacked)

(Fox Ajith Attacked)

(Fight)

(Police searching for sketch artist)

Please, please let me go

Whatever the kill, be it a deer
or a tiger…a hunter is a hunter!

So what’s important is not
who you are but what you kill!

Sir,

Thomas, can you hear me?

I have issued a warning
to the gang members,

where are you?

Thomas? Thomas?? Can you hear me?

Thomas? Hello, hello!

The deadline that
you gave my boys is over

Anybody who knows the game well

knows that it can’t be played
fair and square!

And you think operating
in the dark

gives you an edge over
the opponent do you?

You think you are invisible?

That’s your perception.
I am all out and about in the open

It’s just that I have masked your eyes
with a black cloth

And now it’s on you to figure out
how to get rid of it!

Who the hell are you guys?

Why are you here
and what do you want?

You’ll never find the answer
to your first question

As for the second one, well, if you try hard,
you will figure out why

And that will automatically answer
your other question as well.

Good luck and bye!

Brother!

I don’t have the courage
to ask you to stay strong

You used to say that
Prabhu is like a son to you

and yet you failed
to save that very son!

Please forgive me.
An apology is the only thing

that I have to offer you at this point

Prabhu left this for you

If you find any clue in this call me

The culprit should be punished

(Emotional Music)

(Prabhu's secret message to Geetha)

(Tense Music)

(Intense Music)

(Emotional Music)

(Truck rams into car)

Yes, yes, yes…

It is past midnight so
there were no other food options

No problem sir
(Officers converation in background)

Sorry, sorry
Okay

Everyone's sorted?

Yes, sir

Let's get to the point

Okay, officers can you brief us about
the other hostage situations in India

and the prime reasons behind them

Sir, the motive behind such situations
is usually money

or the release of a terrorist or extremist

No, no, if it’s money
that they were after,

looting a bank would be
a better game plan

and as for the release of terrorists,

low security regions such as
educational institutions

or malls would be a better bet.

So think hard and tell me
why they could have targeted this jail

Come on
We are running out of time

Sir, if you notice,
they have attacked the jail

on the day Vaman came visiting

Yes, sir

That means he is either
someone Vaman knows

or someone who wants
Vaman under his clasp

No, no …

If they were after Vaman,

they could have attacked him
outside the jail also right?

They could have kidnapped Vaman
from his house only

and that would have been easier

So why would they want
to complicate things by entering the jail?

No sir, I feel Shekar sir is right

There seems to be some connection between
Vaman and them

I mean if jail was the target,

they could have taken control of it
on any there day too

But they have come on the day Vaman came.
That too on this special occasion

We just have to figure out
why they are after him

Yes, yes

This argument makes sense

Provide me with complete details
on this Vaman Sreenivasan

This jail was built in 1902 by the Britishers

Sir, Vaman was born in the year 1962

Vaman joined the CBI in 1986.
He was only 24 years old then.

He came under the spotlight
in the year 2000

for having exposed a union minister
for taking kickbacks

In 2013, this jail was closed
for about a month

for renovation as a portion of
this structure collapsed

In the same year, Vaman was appointed
as the CBI chief

as the then acting head
passed away during a raid

This turns out to be
a turning point

in both Vaman's career
and the history of this jail

But why was that raid conducted?

Sir, we have converted
all the gold we had into gold biscuits

But where are we going to hide
these many biscuits safely?

To keep it safe,

we will have to give a share of the same
to one more person

The court had ordered
the CBI to submit a report

on the missing quantity of
gold seized during this raid

But the main accused,
Prabhu committed suicide during investigation,

leading to the case being closed abruptly

Also the missing gold
never got recovered

So where do you think that gold is now?

Our jail is currently closed for renovation

So no one will suspect that
the gold is hidden here

We will lie low until everyone shifts
their attention from the gold scam

and later move it from here

under the pretext of
a jail privatization project

Sir, they were a team of 9

Six of them died in 2012,
while three others went missing in 2016

That means…

I have shown you where to hide it

now it’s up to you
to show me a place to bury them

Sir, Fox Ajith escaped
from my clutches

That’s okay
Where are the jailer and doctor?

I have locked them up
in a secured cell

Okay, no worries then.

I’ll take care of the rest

Okay sir

Move, move forward

Sir, sir, sir, please sir,

Tell me!

Please don’t harm me

Please don’t harm me sir
I’ll show you the way

Since this is an old jail,

there is a false wall
in one of the bathrooms

No one but me is aware of that wall

I’ll lead you to that specific bathroom

False wall?
That's good... that's good news

Sir, what if we send in
commandoes through that wall?

No, No! What if they spot
the uniform clad commandoes?

That could become a problem

So we have to send them
in prisoners’ uniform

Sir, I have an idea

Today the India-Pakistan
cricket match will be aired

We will enter the prison
when India is batting

Sir, like you suggested

We have entered Tower One
wearing prisoners’ uniform

Anyway firecrackers will be burst
whenever India scores a four or a six

so let us also open fire
at the same time,

that way we won’t
garner any attention

No,No! Don’t shoot,
use tranquilizers as I want them alive!

What’s all that noise?

India-Pak cricket match is on sir

And crackers are being burst for that?

Go check what’s happening there,
Ok. Get down

Is it ready?

Sir, we are yet to fix one more part

I’ll take care of that,
you wait near the main gate. Leave

Sir, Prassana is calling us again
Connect the call here

Hello, hello Prasanna…

Sir, the gang members
are digging up a spot

around the tree
near the back entrance

I can see some boxes there

Hey, what's this?

There are bricks in those boxes sir

Bricks?

But how is that even possible?

Okay leave that be for now

Go figure out where Vaman is

and shift him to a safe place immediately

Okay sir

(Commandos are entering Tower One)

(Tranquilizers are fired)

Move, move

Sir, we got him sir!

Don’t fire. I want him alive

Okay, sir

We will bring him to you
in the next five minutes

Be quick, quick, quick!

Sir, he has a gun

Sir, members of the gang are amidst
the hostages as well

Sir, let’s abort the mission immediately!

What??

Please abort the mission sir,
or all of us will be caught

Ram?

Fire crackers??

(Firing)

Stay away from me, go away
Get inside the Tower One. Go in now!

Get away from me!

(Shots Fired)

I'm warning all of you!
Get inside the Tower

Sir, I found Vaman sir

This whole operation is now dependant on
you and Vaman

Shift him to a safe place
and call me back

Okay sir

Stop right there.
Don't run...listen to me

Slowly

Shekar, go to Tower one gate.
The hostages are escaping

Don’t’ run guys, please stop

(Gun Shot)

(Emotional Music)

How is it?

I made it myself.

It’s the first gift that
my child will get from my side

(Emotional Music)

(War Continues)

Ambulance is leaving.
Clear the way

Sir,

We have released all the commandos
as you suggested

Now most of the hostages
are under our control

However, a couple of them escaped
during the chaos that ensued

but we will find and bring them near
Tower one in the next fifteen minutes

Okay, let me know
when everything is in place

Going forward things are bound
to get complicated

There is no way that this is true!

Shush! What is it that
you are blabbering?

I saw his face

and I’m sure that
none of us will be spared

Whose face and who won’t he spare?
Be more specific

I saw their gang leader’s face

If we surrender, he will let us be,
if not, we are done for

We also are no less powerful!

Is his notoriety something that
even we cannot control?

If it was just any other goon or don,
it would be just fear that we would be facing,

but this person is nothing short of terror!

(Intense buildup music)

His name was Dalavayi but he was popularly
referred to as the “Big Daddy”

There was a time when just
the mention of his name

was both powerful and fearful all at once!

I remember this incident,

Where the then Chief Minister,
Subhash Rao Chennabassapa was scared to death!

His son had raped a tribal girl and
dumped her mutilated body in a forest

But the police department
also stood in his support

as he was the CM's son

And the CM got a call one day!

Dad, you are the CM of this State

And yet you fear a goon,
that’s ridiculous!

In spite of being the CM,

if I’m trembling with fear
thinking of the consequences

it’s not really hard to figure out

whom I’m going to meet, is it?

He is not the one to spare those
who harm the one’s he cares for

so imagine your fate

given that you have managed
to instigate the devil himself!

Sir, I know why you wanted to meet me

He is a young boy and hence has not realized
what he has done,

please forgive him and spare me

If not, I will have to
give up my CM position

Even after these many years,

you have failed to figure out
how I function

it is your life and not your political position

If there is something that
you have to fear for,

Sir. sir

I will ask him also to surrender
and compensate for the girl’s death

Sir, please forgive him

Dad, why should I surrender?

We will just double up
the compensation amount

We will match their expectations
and close this case!

Money is a good pain killer you know!

(Tight Slap)

Sir,

I will fill sense in his head.
Please let him go

He has surely passed the age,
where he is capable of listening to you CM sir

It’s now time to teach him a lesson!

Sir, sir…

Please get up CM sir

Sir, I’m ready to fall at your feet
and beg for your forgiveness

Please let him be

Which deity do you believe in the most?

Goddess Chamundeshwari

Your devotion towards
her is however questionable!

Sir….

Anyone who prays to a female God,

can never get down to treating
a woman mercilessly…

Sir, he was intoxicated

Intoxicated?

Sir, every crime is redeemable

Let me pay the price
and make up for the loss

How much are you willing to pay?

10 crores?

20 crores?

Sir, how about 30?

Forget it, I will give 50 crores

Suraj!

I mean, that worthless soul doesn’t deserve
more than that anyway

In fact, if I had thrown
Rs five lakhs on her face,

she would have willingly compromised!

(Gun Shots)

Suraj, Suraj…. Son

Sorry CM sir…

I was intoxicated
and didn't realise what I did!

Your son was ready to
compensate Rs 50 crores

I am adding Rs one crore extra
and giving it to you

Treat this as a compensation for his death

Now it’s up to you
to use this money for charity

or to build education institutions

You failed to teach your son
the right values,

atleast build schools and
colleges to educate the needy

You made a huge mistake by killing him

I was ready to give you
whatever you wanted

But it was your son who told me that

money can make
any sort of pain vanish

Hence this compensation!

But it’s not right to counter wrong with wrong,
is it?

All forces enter!

Doing so will only lead to catastrophe!

Looks like you came well prepared!

Sir, it was you
who made this choice!

You said that you will teach
my son a lesson right?

I will send you also up there
so that you can teach him a lesson!

Fire!!

I said Fire!!!

(Laughs)

The government may be yours

but all those in that government are mine!

You may be the minister,

but history has time and again shown that

soldiers listen not to the minister

but to the king and the king alone!

What sir?

Water

Okay water, water

( Prasanna, a prisoner,
is leaking information to police)

This is our demand list

Instruct all the commandos
and sharp shooters

you have put on duty
to leave the city right away

Also, we will negotiate
only with Chengappa

This apart, within 1 AM

I want all the roads leading
to the airport to be cleared

Two flights need to be at
our disposal at the airport

One will fly towards Afghanistan
and the other to Myanmar

We will release 50 percent
of the hostages

once we reach the airport

and the other half will be set free

once we reach our desired destination

Make sure you get necessary permissions
for all this by 11 PM

And try not to pull a stunt

as none of us are fools. Beware!

Where is he?

At the back entrance

Just remember that
no life should be lost!

You know why?

Well, a soldier losing his life in a battle
could still lead to a victory

but an innocent life lost during a rebellion
will never serve the cause!

I will never disappoint you

but just in case I don’t live up
to your expectations, I will…

(Shot Fired)

I wanted to represent my country
at the national level

But my fate didn’t permit me to do so!

My vision is clear only during the day

I cannot see properly without
my glasses during the night

Burn his body here itself

I don’t want anyone
to find out his true identity

Sir, I need to use the washroom

But didn’t you just relieve yourself?

Sir, I am diabetic,

hence this urge
to frequent the washroom!

Alright, get up, let’s go!

Wait sir

Make it quick!

(Gang member attacked)

The commandos were sent inside
even before a dialogue

could be opened between
the extremists and the police

As a result of this,
a hostage has even lost his life!

As always, the police seem
to have their hands tied

and no official statement
has been made as yet

For all the inside stories
stay tuned to TV 24

This is Lakshmi with
Cameraperson Mahesh

Sir, what do we do next?

Last time when Prassana called us,

he said that the trunk
was filled with bricks,

which means they have not
found the gold yet!

But why then did they want
buses to go to the airport

and the flights to be
arranged upon their arrival?

There could be only
two possibilities in that case;

Either they have found the location
where the gold has been shifted to

or they are confident that
they will locate it within 1 AM

Vaman is the only one who knows
that gold is hidden inside

We just got to contact him

and find out if the gold is
really there or not

Did the call get connected?

He is not receiving the call, sir

Keep trying

Yes sir!

(Phone Vibrating)

(Phone Ringing)

Hello

This is Subramanya.
I am the Chief Minister’s PA

The CM wants to talk to you

What? The CM wants to talk to me??
Just give me a minute

Hello

Hello Lakshmi,
how are you?

Hello sir, I still can’t believe
that you have called me!

It’s unbelievable!

I’m very much impressed
by your reportage

We need youth like you
to take our society forward

Once this crisis ends,
I wish to meet you in person

Sir, it’s overwhelming to know that
you follow my news stories

Sir, I’ll only stop by your office
once this fiasco ends

Sure….

Also is it true that your father
is also inside the jail?

Yes sir, his release is slated
for next week though

I want to reach out to him,

but the police personnel are
not letting me inside

Don’t worry,

I will have your father released
once this operation ends

The department is indebted
to him for his service

I need to discuss something
important with him,

can you share
his number with me?

Yes sir, please note it down

Thank you.
Also, you are like my daughter

so here is a small word
of caution for you

Sure sir

What’s happening around you
is a very dangerous operation

So, trust no one.
Be careful and I wish you well

Yes, sir and thank you so much sir

Have a great day sir. Have….

The extremists and our commandoes….

CM Sir is on live, then..

(CM addressing the media on the TV screen)

that way no one from the outside

will be able to go
on a call with him!

Make sure to engage the phone holder

until his battery goes dead

That’s the only way

we can cut any sort of
communication to and

from the outside world!

Sir

It’s ringing, but no one is answering

That’s’ okay,
but you keep calling, got it?

Were you able to track
any incoming or outgoing calls?

Sir, looks like he is talking to someone,
the line is engaged

Okay, okay
Keep trying

Sir, it got connected

Hello, this is Chengappa

Hello, sir!

Is everything okay inside the jail?

Yes sir, both of us are safe

Safe where?

Inside the storage room

(Store room)

Yes, sir

Sir, someone is using your name
and talking to Prasanna

That’s why we have been getting
a busy tone

My name?

Yes sir

(Phone Conversation)

Someone is coming

Sir, I’ll call you back,
someone is coming

Listen to me. Listen…

Who was that?

Nothing to worry about

Sir, the line is connected

Sir, I’m calling from ICID Bank

He has received a call
from the ICID Bank

ICID Bank??

I am already out of my mind,
loan it seems!

Just hang up

Shit!

Sir, you had ordered food
on Zomato right?

Zomato??

I’m waiting outside,
can you come quickly?

What is this tomato-Zomato
nonsense? Just let me be!

Sir, the thing….

They are calling him non-stop
to keep the line busy

Officers

Yes, sir

You start calling that number continuously.
Come on, don’t stop

Yes, sir

Call the three numbers from which
the fake calls were made as well

Do it, go, go, everyone

Dad’s phone is also busy

Sir, the line is engaged
He is not receiving the call

Sir, his phone is busy

Everybody, keep trying,
everybody!

Sir, sir, we got Prasanna on line

Hello, Prasanna, It’s Chengappa

Please, you are the 7th person calling me
claiming to be Chengappa!

Believe me, don’t cut the call please,
it’s really me

Your name is Prassana and
your prison ID is 401

Your daughter’s name is Lakshmi

and she resides in Nandini Layout,
correct?

Sir, six people called me
claiming to be Chengappa before you so…

Its’ okay. So how is Vaman now?

He is safe

And have the gang members
found anything as yet?

Hello, hello..

Hello
Hello, Prasanna….

Hello, can you hear me?
Prasanna

Connect me once again, fast…

It’s switched off sir

(Phone switched off)

Idiot

Sir, Sir please listen to me

No doctor,

This is not the time

You cannot stop me this time!

As a doctor it’s your duty to protect him

likewise as a police officer
it’s my job to punish the criminal!

So, I’m going to get
everything out of him right now

Kindly wait till he recovers

Recover it seems!

(Shot Fired)

Tell me!

Even if one person from your gang
escapes from there,

you won’t be spared

So tell me, tell me who he is?

Who is he?

Subramatheertha

Sir, Subramatheertha is the name of a village

We may get some clues if we go there

Hi, bro!

Don’t worry,

Your friend Prassana is being
very well taken care of inside another cell

Are you threatening me?

Even for a second don’t think that

you can take a single piece of gold
out of here by scaring me!

At the most, you will kill me!

But then again even death
can’t scare someone

who has been living in hell
all this while

Likewise, you cannot defeat someone

who has conquered
the fear of death

Anyway, I have safeguarded
that gold for so many years,

so I rather die than let someone else enjoy
what belongs to me!

Torture me as much as you want
but I am not going to give in

I mean, I am the one who wrote the manual
of torture for this jail,

when I was in CBI!

so there is no scaring me!

Hence, you only have two options now
1. To release me or 2. Kill me

There is another option

Gold!

How did you manage to find it?

You know how everything that
some people touch turns into gold?

but in my case, I touch nothing but gold!

Darling, when it comes to God,
there are no secrets!

Going forward,
you are of no use to me now

Get rid of him

Hey

Hey listen

Let’s split the gold up equally between us,
how about 50-50?

How about 60-40 then?

I have a plan, hear me out

or else the gold cannot be
taken out of here, Listen to me …

Search

You people go this sides

You head the other way

Search every inch of this place.
Spread out

Hurry up, we have very little time

Sir, I doubt if we will find any clue here

I mean look at this farm,

why would they plan something here
of all the places??

I’m sure that Jeeva is pulling
a fast one on us

Has the drone operator arrived?

He is setting up the equipment

Make it fast

Come on, move

Get down
Drop your weapons!

Now…drop your weapons!

Okay!
Okay! Calm down

No spot has been dug up!

everything seems to be as it was,

so where did he get the gold from

In today’s world,

It's easier to make people believe in lies
rather than the truth

Fire!

(Firing)

Did you find anything?
Did you?

Look that side

Did you find anything?

No, sir

Did you guys find anything at least?

No, sir

(Laughs)

There is no gold, my love!

No fire can harm the piece of camphor
which is hidden in water!

I told your boss that
we should share the gold…

But now forget gold,
there is nothing here

What a shame!

Vaman Srinivasan,
who is being held hostage

has been fighting over
the past 10 years

to get approval for
the privatization of this jail

However, approval was granted
only last year

It now it needs to be examined

as to why he was so particular
about privatizing this jail alone in karnataka

What are the specialities of this jail then?

There is every possibility that
the gold is hidden

in the block that was being renovated!

Which part of the Tower One
is being reconstructed?

Library and a washroom sir

What is being reconstructed
at this place?

Sir, library

Where is the library coming up?

Sir, it’s a little difficult to pin point

the exact location in this
half an acre plot

We will at least need two days to
figure that out

To figure that out you’ll need
the blueprint of the jail

And who knows if you are
lucky enough,

you may even find the gold
once that happens

But there is no way that

you are going to get
your hands on the blueprint!

But what makes you think that
I need the blueprint?

I need the top view,
go higher, higher…

fly it a bit higher, yes
a bit towards the centre

Sir, this looks like
a pattern of some sort

It’s the blueprint of our jail!

Look Thomas,

our jail privatization proposal
has been rejected

by the government three times already

But according to media reports,

a whole new government
will be formed this time

If that’s the case,
it will be easy to get our file passed

We have waited all these years

and it finally looks like
our time has come

Let's be patient for
a few more months

It's okay if there is a change in power

but what if the same government
retains its majority

So just to be on the safer side,
let’s come up with Plan B

Okay

Sir, what do we do now?

It’s unfortunate that
they found the gold

Go fetch my glasses from
my blazer pocket

Glasses, why?

Because I can send
an emergency message using it

But even if you do that,
what use would it be

as they cannot come inside?

This was my Plan B all along!

(Police searching for clues)

Lakshman, come here.
Clear this space

Sir

Any clue yet?

No luck yet,
we are still searching

Whose photos are these?

These are the details of the prisoners

Eshwar

Yes, sir?

Who among these are inside the jail?

Sir, all of them

What?

Use your influence

and have some notorious criminals
shifted to your jail

Then shift them to Tower Three

In case there is
no change in the government

I will tell you how to use
these criminals

and move the gold
out of the prison

What will I get
if I fetch you the glasses?

You will get 10 percent of the gold

Okay sir, okay

Go now, fast
Faster..come on

Come on, Quick

That’s the one

Bring it here and be careful
not to drop it

Good, good…

Now press this, press, fast…

[PLAN B]
[RELEASE THE DRAGONS]

Do you even know who they all are?

And how the hell did they all
land up in the same jail!?

Where are they now?
Are they in Tower Three?

They were there previously

But after the jail break incident

In Tamil Nadu that took place
two months ago

the High Court issued
an order stating that

no prisoner should be lodged in the same cell
beyond three months,

so they are now in Tower Six

What?

Can they be really trusted?

But why would criminals
like them hand over

hand over the gold,
that too of that proportion, to us?

What if they cheat us?

I know someone

Let’s get his gang members involved

He is just not a man of power
but also a man of his words!

And who may that be?

Ramanna, There is no power in this tower,

rush to the generator room and
fix the problem immediately

For this block houses
some of the most dangerous criminals!

Code Red!

Code Red!

Hello, hello, hello…what happened?

Sir, 50 prisoners have escaped
from Tower Six

What?

Okay send the CCTV footage from that tower

to my phone immediately

And update me

Okay sir!

Have them deploy extra forces to the jail

And seize this entire place

Okay, come on get down to work

Got it?

What’s happening?

No idea sir but the police force
has been diverted to another tower

See, I don’t care who you are
but I’m warning you,

if I don’t see Vaman walking out of the jail
before I count 10,

we are going to come inside

Also we are not police to care
about the fate of hostages

We are criminals!

So your time starts now…

1

Sir,

Like you ordered,
2…

we have locked
them all up in a cell

3..

You go inside, I’ll handle this situation
4..

5…
I remember you saying that

this mission will be a failure
even if one person dies

But as I see it, if we don’t kill them,
6..

they will kill us!
7..

8…
We are at times pushed

to face unforseen challenges head on

9..
Go inside

10…

Sir, who are all those people

and why did you panic after
seeing their photos?

Have you heard about the past chief minister,
Subash Rao Chenabassapa?

The one who died in a chopper crash?

He didn’t die in a crash!

Then?

He went against one man

and his death was the result of doing so!

At one point,

this man was the undisputed ruler of
Karnataka's underworld

No one knew his real name

Nor had people seen how he looked

Sir,
You are alive?

Who is he sir?

No one knew who he really was

But everyone called him “Big Daddy”!

Chopper crash was how government
covered up the CM’s death!

For the very first time,

even though the king’s throne
was empty,

no one came forward
to occupy the seat!

Three months later,
the central government appointed me

to bring an end to this
“Big daddy”’s reign

However, this was no easy task
as the department was filled with his men

This is when we also figured out that

the best way to nab him would be
to infiltrate his gang

Our plan was a success
and one day we received a tipoff …

Sir, Dalavai is apparently performing

the last rights of his parents
in Fathepur

There will be very few people with him,

so this is the best time to finish him!

As planned,

we left for Fathepura at around
4 AM the following day

But what we saw upon
our arrival was shocking!

We found the bodies of
our team members,

who had infiltrated his gang,
hanging from a tree

We wanted to put an end to his story
then and there

but in actuality it was he
who had dug up graves

and waited all this while to bury us!

Anyway, he had spared the life of
one of our officers

Of course not out of mercy

But just to convey to us
what our fates would be

If we went after him

And just as we were attempting
to save his life...

But,

Prasad...

Let him live, please...

If you intend to put your hands
inside a snake’s burrow

You should keep an antidote
in your pocket!

Okay, I’ll let him be
if he answers my question

A simple one at that...

You have heard that
tortoise and rabbit story right?

The one where the rabbit is ahead
of the tortoise in a race

so how due to its overconfidence
about its win,

decides to take a nap?

Well, the tortoise almost manages
to make it to the finish line

while the rabbit is sleeping

but in the nick of the time,
the rabbit wakes up

and rushes past it and wins the race

Now tell me how the rabbit
managed to wake up

at the right time and win the race?

I’ll count till three

and if you can give me
an answer by then

I’ll let you live

1, 2..

(Shots Fired)

No. No....

Prasad, Prasad, Prasad...

No, Prasad..

Oops! Hard luck

See, I could have given him the answer
and then killed him

but seeing someone wither
away with frustration

and die before even knowing the answer....

Well, that’s what gives me the kicks!

Officer, I keep wondering

if someone will actually get down
to giving me the answer

but then again it’s impossible,

as in my story, there is no scope for
the tortoise to win, ever!

Don’t think this is the end of it

I can actually finish all of you
right here right now

But I’m going to let you go

Because,

I'm going to teach you a lesson that
you can’t learn in any school,

even if you are ready
to pay a fee for it!

Before going after someone

make sure to know their history
and just not their name!

Begging is not a disrespectful act

However, if that someone,
you went up

and lost against due to
your incompetence

ends up sparing your life, well,

that’s an insult you will have
to endure till your last breath!

Now get lost

and don’t forget to thank me

with folded hands on your birthdays

after all you have got the gift of life
even before you asked for it!

Stop, Stop the vehicle!

(Chengappa expressing his frustration)

There is nothing more shameful
than living a life spared by a gangster!

Those who want to live
such a cursed life stay back

and those of you who rather die a martyr,
while trying to kill him

get into the vehicle with me

And like that we went on a
suicide machine that day

We wanted to kill Dalavai
at any cost that day

So we equipped ourselves
with the grenades we had carried

and just as we were about
to ram into his car

Our officers, threw
me out of the vehicle

and then crashed into his car!

No...

45 brave officers lost their life in order
to kill a demon called Dalavai

But now I see that their sacrifice
was to no avail

The evil is back in play and
with it naturally comes fear!

Sir, but you said you saw him die

How is it then possible
for him to be here,

that too in this jail of all places?

That’s the question

that’s bothering me too

Let’s go from the back gate

What’s the present situation like?

Sir Dalavayi gang went into
Tower One to attack the gang at first

but now they are only gaurding it!
We can't figure out why!

Sir, we have received
another demand list

They have asked for
Jeeva to be released

Okay we will do that

But before doing so,

ask their leader to meet me for
five minutes, five minutes only!

When did you get here?

I didn't even realise
you when you came

It's not like misfortune arrives
with a prior notice!

So you are admitting

that you are here to create havoc

All of us are villains
in someone’s story or the other

Let’s get to the point

Nothing much,

I needed clarity on two things

and you seem have
the answers with you

Only Vaman and the jailer
knew about the hidden gold

how did you then chance
upon this information?

See, there is every possibility that
a police officer will take months

to nab a drug dealer running loose
in his own jurisdiction

But a student may land up
figuring out the contact details

of the same peddler
in a matter of minutes

Of course, this doesn’t mean that

the student is smarter than the police

It only suggests that
the officer is not as smart as the peddler!

So look for the answer

I mean isn’t that why you are being
paid by the government?

Fine, we will do all the searching,

after all it’s not like criminals
come looking for punishment

it’s up to the police to find the culprit
and bring him to book!

I for sure know that you are capable of

moving the gold out of here on your own

I’m also positive that
you are not in need of it either

So I’m curious to find out as to
why you are making this futile attempt?

When one’s intentions are clear

and just there is no force
strong enough to stop them!

In history you only find mentions

of those who are strong willed and determined

and not of those who bow down to circumstances.

Once I’m out of here,

what needs to be proven will be proven!

And what if you don’t go out?

Sir, I usually don’t meddle
in anyone’s business

and the reason I don’t get involved is not
because I am scared

but only because if I get involved,

the battle field will turn
into a bloody warfare!

The biggest lesson that
history teaches us is

that there is nothing left
to learn from history

Dalavai, you also know
what kind of a man I am

See, I’m not trying to
scare you or anything

but this is just a warning

Fear is a good thing sir for only

then will we know
how brave we are!

The Dalavai I knew
never talked like this

Sir, just because dust forms over a book

the story hidden in its pages
does not lose its sheen!

It’s just that I assumed that
I had put the 'THE END' sign to your story

But it now looks like a new chapter is
about to unravel itself!

A dead man has come back alive

And hidden treasures have been found by

someone other than
the man who hid it!

So many questions remain unanswered

Sir, instead of finding answers
to all these questions,

go seek the truth

Answers will then automatically find you

What is that you really want from me?

You have no proper answers
to any of my questions

But 10 years ago,

you had asked me a question,
do you remember?

It still haunts me

It had something

to do with a race between
a rabbit and a tortoise, race….

what was that again?

Sir, the rabbit was overconfident

so it takes a nap
and hence the tortoise wins,

that’s it right?

But in the story that Dalavai told me,

there is no scope for the tortoise to win!

You have come all the way to Kashi

so you think I’ll
let you go without

making you take a dip
in the Ganges??

There is no way that he is Dalavai!

You heard our conversation right?

So now you tell me
if he is your boss or not!

What is all this?

This situation looks slightly dicey

See, everyone wishes for
their dead loved one to come back

But once they are back

it’s natural to want to know
how they came back

If not…!

Are you questioning the God himself?

God exists but only when we pray

and a flower falls from the
right side of the idol

do we tend to believe truly
in His existence!

Our boss was the one who taught me,

actually all of us here,
the art of wrestling

He is also the only one
who knows how to escape from our clutches

without getting physical with us

If you are really our boss
we will celebrate you

if not we will finish you off

and carry your body out of here
on our shoulders!

(Fight)

Go after him

Look for him, search there

Did you find him?

Now, you take a call on who I am!

Load the gold,

it’s now time to execute the exit plan

Sure

Okay

Sir, three buses,

that have prisoners on board

are reportedly headed
towards the airport

Chengappa wants to talk to you

Tell me

Sir, a few minutes ago
we made a breakthrough in this case

I am confident about ensuring the safety
of all the prisoners

I have a plan

Are you sure?

100 percent sure sir

Sir, ever since they captured the jail

and even after our commandos launched
an attack on them,

zero casualties have been reported

Sir they have used
frangible bullets

according to forensic reports

And these bullets
do not cause fatal harm

They have not used a single original bullet
even though they have access to it,

And this does not mean that
they didn’t know how to use it

but it’s just that they did not want
to use it to hurt the prisoners

So now that we know there intention
is not to harm our prisoners,

we will be fools if we don’t go after them!

So what do you propose to do that?

Sir, there are three underpasses
on the way to the airport

We will have a clear view once

the buses pass through
the first underpass

so we will take them down
once they come out of the underpass

Sounds like a plan, go ahead

Target is in sight. Be ready

4

2

1

Don’t you think the police
will try to attack

our vehicles while
we are trying to escape?

Sir, we can’t see any buses
exiting the underpass

What?

Ah, Murthy,

Enter the underpass right away
along with the commandos and check

Quick, quick

Sir , we are here

And what’s the status?

There is nothing here

What about the buses?

We don’t find any
buses approaching either

What?

Sir, hold on, I can see some light

Why are so many cars exciting
from the underpass all of a sudden?

Close all the roads immediately

If someone tries to escape,
shoot them on the spot

They will surely close all the roads
and even stop all the cars

They are going to bombard the drivers’
with questions too

but the only answer they will get is….

Who are you?

Sir, I know nothing

We were paid Rs 50,000 told that
a film scene is being shot

And asked to in full speed.
So I was driving fast

Film shoot?

Sir, all of them
are giving the same reason

What?

We managed to seize most of
the cars but there are no prisoners

But some 20 cars managed to
make it to the highway towards airport

Have the drones follow these cars

and capture their every movement

Also block the next exit,

No vehicle should cross the third underpass.
Take position

If someone tries to break
the barriers and cross over

Shoot them.
No need to wait for my orders!

Sir, we have blocked the exit of
the third underpass

We are waiting for your order

Sir, all cars have entered the underpass

So are we going to escape in these cars?

What the hell is this now?

Why are they heading back towards the city
and not going to the airport?

And where are these bikes coming from?

Send the force and stop all these bikers

Arrest all the bikers and check their IDs

Where are all of you coming from?

Sir, we were told to do this
as part of a film shoot

Film shoot?

They paid us Rs 5000

Hello

Hello sir, this Shekar

Sir, all the prisoners are in the buses only,

What?

Please send a backup force
to first underpass immideately

Idiots!

They are all still in the buses
in the first underpass!!

You?

Sir

If you don't hold this gun,
I will blow these buses up

Doctor?? You should have told them
it was you right!

Sir, I was too scared,
hence I waited for you only to come,

to reveal my identity

Prasanna Sir.

Prasanna?

What are all these
people doing here?

And where are all
the gang members?

No one is going to go anywhere.
You will all be there only

You will be one among the hostages

Only you would have given
your guns to the actual hostages

You ten will blend in
with the remaining prisoners

and no one can ever single you out

Because your true identity
will never be revealed

Sir, looks like the gang members

have managed to escape
somewhere in the middle

All of them are our prison inmates,
I ran a thorough check

Okay, we will escape somehow

but what about the gold that we would have
loaded into the buses?

Sir, sir, sir…

The gold that we have found in
the trunks is fake!

What?

Yes, see for yourself sir

We have been taken for a ride

Then, then, where is the real gold?

There is a BWSSB pipe
in Tower six’s backyard

Through that pipe, our men, who will be
operating from outside the prison,

will send remote control operated
mini boats

Those boats will already be
carrying fake gold,

So…

We will load the Buses
with this fake gold

and send the real gold
through the boats

This is our plan,
Alright?

And who will be operating these boats?

You will know that
when the time is right

But once we get caught,

won’t they check our
record and sentence?

Apart from the hostages,

check the records of
all those prisoners

who are facing a sentence
between one and three years

I want that list immediately,
go, go right away

Yes sir, yes

You should be sentenced to
at least three years of jail

that way no one is
going to suspect you

Are you saying that
we have to stay inside the prison

for a minimum of three years then?

No. To avoid this situation,

I’m going to hire
a lawyer friend of mine

He is an expert at reopening old cases

His name is

Mahesh Das

People call him

BIRBAL

All your team members
have been released

Since Jeeva turned
approver willingly,

he will be released
one year later

I have made necessary arrangements
for his release as well

Thank You. Thank you very much!

But I am very curious

About your escape plan.
Every one’s exit plan was pre decided

But you, how did you escape?

You are a smart man

So think hard and
you will find out how, Bye!

(Intense Music)

(Dramatic Music)

Mr Chengappa,

Yes mam

This case will directly impact
the image of this government

We are six months away
from elections

and hence it’s important to solve
this case within that time

That’s why

The party has decided
to hand over this case to another agency

What do you mean by another agency?

Have you heard about
an agency called PITHAMAHA?

PITHAMAHA?

Are you talking about
the famous Indian Spy Agency,

Yes

The one run by Mr A N Rao?
Did he say yes to this case?

No one dare force him
to take up a case

At most, we can request him to handle it

Anyway, he is on his way here,
so you can find out for yourself

The stage is set
and people are waiting to cheer for us

So, ready to enter in slow motion

with some foot tapping
background music?

Sir, you still don’t know about our people

I’m sure they are already all pumped up
and whistling away

Let’s go

Just not him,
even his best agent is coming along

Don’t tell me,
you are referring to the one and only Ghost

Hello

Sir

Please take a seat
Sit down

Thank you for accepting this case

The pleasure is all mine

As always we are relying
on you to find us a solution

Please ensure that the case
is solved at the earliest

Mam, it will take time
to expose the reality

But I promise you that
the moment the truth comes out

all the lies will die a painful death

I’ll crack this case in
the next seven days

And what do you have to say
about this young man?

Mam, our greatest weapon
is our intelligence

Also we have already collected details
about the gang that hijacked the prison

and the place where the gold is hidden

We will catch them

Sounds great

Mr Chengappa, please hand over
the case file to them

Sure ma'am

So

Best of luck

Sorry for sounding cheeky,

But we don’t believe in luck
We only believe in work, hard work

Sir

Sir, this is the file
and it has all the details

Thank you

Excuse me sir,
can I see your tattoo?

Wow!

Excellent

I’m going to get
something similar done too

I got this tattoo done
on the insistence of my children

Okay

We are a family of four,
hence these four stars

In fact, Whenever I miss them,
I look up to the sky and watch the stars

Thank You

Excuse me

Looks like you also have
a tattoo right?

Can I please see that?

Music

Who is he?

Why do I get the feeling that I
have seen this tattoo somewhere?

Then these both are
Father and Son

Then who was the guy
who came to the jail for

He also had the same tattoo?

Anand, Geetha and Prabhu…
My world starts and ends with them

I found them

while I was sent to handle
an emergency situation in Kashmir

Many a Kashmiri Pundits
lost their lives at that time

These kids were orphaned
in the same scenario

I brought them back with me
and raised them like my own

Later Anand and Prabhu
went on to clear their civil service exam

I went on to become a part of the
Joint Task Force on Intelligence

Prabhu joined the CBI
and married Geetha

And just as the future
started to look happy and bright….

Dad and I were deployed to Khandhar

to solve the hijack case
around that time

And only when we returned
did we realize

What had happened

I decided to make the life
of the person

Who ruined my happiness,
a living hell

But my father rightly
pointed out that

Doing so would not clear
Prabhu’s name

That’s when I decided
to do something that

Would prove Prabhu’s innocence

And at the same time
expose the culprit

Until the lion
figures out a way to tell its version of the story

the hunter will be the one
who will be lauded as the hero

Meaning?

Operation Ghost

You can’t execute this plan
with this face

You will have to look like a
different person all together

And here is my plan

There is a common belief that states that

seven people in his world look alike

That's fact

In fact, there is a reference in
Mahabharatha

To a king called Poudraka
who is said to have looked

Just like Lord Krishna

Apparently he had even convinced people that
he was the Lord Himself!

There is one more aspect
attached to this belief

It is said that it is not necessary

to find similar looking people
in the same timeline

So,

Now we have to find someone,
who looked like you

We will!

For this operation,
you will go not as Anand but as Dalavai

So even if the police land up
figuring out your true identity

They will be able
to prove nothing

as it’s been 15 years
since Dalavai died!

It’s natural for an animal to come
looking for the kill it has hidden

likewise Vaman will come looking
for the gold

and find a way to shift it,
we just have to follow him

Make sure to leave
behind all the proof that

the media and police need to
prove Vaman’s involvement

Once you find the gold,

leave some of it in Vaman’s house

Make his involvement so obvious
that even his own conscious

should start pricking him and
he should accept his mistake

This heist is not something
that can be solved easily

So I’ll think of a way
to have the Home Ministry

Approach our agency to solve the case

There is too much pressure
from the public to solve this case ma'am

I suggest you request
A N Rao to handle this case

Congrats Ghost!

You won yet again

Thank You

But I rather celebrate the fact that
I did not lose

than the fact that I won!

I have always wanted to ask you

Why did you gave me
the code name GHOST

The idea of a GHOST is
a fragment of one’s imagination;

it is also a phenomenon
that invokes fear

It denotes something
that is secretive too

Everyone has a side that is
hidden to the world

and its best if that side is put
to use for the right causes

Today, you have done the same

And brought out the positive connotation
of the word GHOST

Hello! Who is this?

Your misfortune!

Mr GHOST, don’t celebrate the win of a game

even before it ends!

especially when you have no clue
who your opponent is!

Let me simplify this for you

What belongs to you is mine now

If you don’t do as I say

Dr Rao will be standing with flowers
in his hand at the same place next year,

only the grave will be yours!

If you want to see your people alive

You have to give me the gold that
you made away within the next 12 hours

If not,

The head of each of your team members
will start rolling one by one!

Who are you?

The son of the man,
whose name you flaunted in the jail!

Who was that?

He wants to meet GHOST it seems!
