Plot
An unnamed man (Balakrishna) lives with his wife (Laya), daughter, and in-laws. He does not have a name nor does he know who he is. He cannot remember anything that has happened 7 years before. However, he realizes that he possesses special combat skills whenever he comes across evil elements. When he forces his wife, to tell the truth, she reveals that he was found in the river in a mutilated state and he was taken care of by her. As the man goes to Hyderabad searching for his identity, a few incidents lead to the answer. He discovers that he is none other than the most respected and committed Indian Army Officer, Vijayendra Varma. The rest of the story is about how he retraces his past and saves the nation from Pakistani Jihadis. In the penultimate scene of the film, Varma throws the antagonist, Pakistani Terrorist Leader Aslam Khan (played by Mukesh Rishi) from a plane, exclaiming "Hey Aslam Khan, this is not my hand, but a noose around your neck!". As he falls, Varma shoots him multiple times, and then throws an Indian flag at Khan's corpse that plants in the ground where his body lands. Varma salutes the flag.
