The movie begins with a drunk youngster threatening police officers and others with a pistol snatched from a police sub-inspector. He presses the trigger to shoot the inspector but a senior citizen is injured in the shootout. At this juncture, the director takes us to a flashback to introduce us to the youngster in question -- Parachute (Siddu Moolimani), a drug addict-cum-peddler. The next scene is Shreya (Aishani Shetty), who has drug addiction issues, attacking Vinay for talking ill of her lover Adi (Naveen Shankar). The director shows how Adi fell in love with Shreya and how she became addicted to drugs.
Then we meet Shivu (Yash Shetty), an automobile mechanic who is leading a happy life in Bengaluru. It so happens that Shivu is commuting in a vehicle used to transport drugs to the bus stop receive his parents. Later, the director introduces a foster father (Kari Subbu) who sells his daughter to Desai (Mohan Juneja), a pimp, who supplies girls to Antony (Bala Rajwadi), a drug-peddler. What happens when Antony’s men kidnap Shreya -- will Aadi and Shreya meet again -- what happens to the drug mafia -- these are questions the film will answer.
Though the director tries hard to impress upon the audience the ill-effects of drugs, the narration becomes sluggish at times. He has selected a good subject but failed to convey the message in an engaging manner. The story is about the incidents that took place in Bengaluru but some of the scenes, like when a senior citizen with bullet injuries walks around freely to a government doctor, who refuses to treat him and another scene in which an injured person is being taken in an auto rickshaw instead of an ambulance, seem incongruous. Naveen Shankar looks good in action scenes but has to go a long way to establish himself as an artiste. Aishani has done a good job in the role of an addict. Yash Shetty, as a concerned son, has done well too. A few dialogues between two characters – played by Prakash Thuminad and Nithreesh - provide the much-needed break to audiences. Siddu has acted well.
The drawback of the movie is its duration and number of characters that struggle for screen space. It seems the director has added as many characters as possible without bothering about the plight of the audiences who have to spend their valuable time and money to watch this movie.—
