Shiva, a former pickpocketeer in Bangalore, gets caught selling black tickets and creating a disturbance at a film theater. Shiva meets ACP Vikram Rathod, who tells him about Saleem Bhai, a notorious crime boss. Vikram tells Shiva to infiltrate Saleem's gang as a police informer. Shiva joins D, Saleem's trusted henchman, and eliminates Saleem's gang under Vikram's orders.

Shiva's girlfriend Preethi mistakes Shiva as a gangster in a shootout and breaksup with him. After capturing and bringing Saleem, Shiva is held at gunpoint by Vikram, who reveals that Preeti is his daughter. Vikram reveals that he learnt about Shiva and Preethi's relationship earlier and was enraged to learn about this. Due to political pressure to nab Saleem, Vikram formulated a plan and made Shiva as the informer in order to make Preeti to believe that Shiva was a gangster.

After revealing this, Vikram is about to shoot Shiva, but Shiva escapes with Saleem and kidnaps Preeti, who reveals about her father's treachery. D arrives at Shiva's hideout and frees Saleem. A shootout ensues in which Shiva kills D and Saleem. Vikram Rathod tries to shoot Shiva, but is stopped by Preeti, who makes her father realize his mistakes.
