As a result, Gurunath orders his goon Swamy (Ayappa Sharma) to raise Michael.

After some time, Gurunath is once more saved by Michael, prompting the former to give the latter control of his bar business.

The chemistry between the leads (Sundeep Kishan & Divyansha Kaushik) is strong, and the film's background music and graphics are excellent.

Sundeep Kishan and Vijay Sethupathi are the saving grace in this stretched action drama.
