Plot

Javed Ibrahim, is a high-profile

Persia
. Meanwhile, Javed Bhai helps Kalyan woo a girl he likes, unaware that the girl is his daughter. Alia slowly falls for Kalyan Ram, and informs Javed Bhai, who, realizing her lover is Kalyan, attempts to prove to her that he is cheating her. However, on seeing them, Kalyan runs away from there, eventually jumping into sea.

Meanwhile, in India, The Grand Leakage Company, a website/company, reveals Javed Bhai's whereabouts, and by seeing through the plan, Javed Bhai and Alia realise that the founder of the company, who has been unknown for years, is none other than Kalyan Ram. Alia, who is still madly in love with him, runs away from their yacht and escapes to India. Meanwhile, Kalyan, whose actual name is Sathya Marthand, is an undercover journalist whose father, Dasaradh Rao was handicapped by a criminal contractor when the former, a journalist, exposed the latter's use of faulty cement to construct buildings. Sathya, in retaliation, attempted to kill the contractor, but realised that the idea of a crime is what encourages corruption. He, hence, is on a journey to fight corruption. He gets information about Bank of Paradise, a Tenerife-based bank owned by Javed Bhai, which holds over a billiard rupees. The Grand Leakage Company has employed over thousands of anonymous journalism students, who together, take on corruption in India. Alia lands in India and tracks down Sathya's address, threatening to kill his parents and herself if he does not return home. Sathya returns, but tells her that he does not have any feelings for her. However, his parents, who have grown fond of Alia, refuse to let her go, and try forcing Sathya to wed her. After gathering details about Sathya, Javed Bhai informs the police about his activities, including his plan to wipe off the entire money present at Bank of Paradise.

They are almost successful, but the police catch Sathya, and his 4 friends, who were assigned the task of completing the operation, are brutally murdered by local goons. After giving a stellar session in court, the public realise Sathya's goodness, including his craving for justice to all families below the poverty line. He even lets out the code of the accounts in the bank, letting his co "hacktivists" hack into the Bank of Paradise, dividing the money equally into the bank account of every above-poverty line Indian citizen, requesting them to give at least 10% of their money to below poverty line farmers and families, else they will be the reason their country gets ruined. He is then taken to be escorted to the Central Jail. En Route, they are stopped and Sathya is kidnapped by Javed Bhai's men. Javed Bhai tells a reluctant Sathya to marry Alia, but is double-crossed by his henchmen who are ordered to kill Sathya by Minister Kotilinga, who was also involved in Javed's scams. Javed and Sathya take down all the goons. The film ends with Javed returning to Tenerife to continue his business, after having dropped Alia and Sathya in Goa, who then go undercover again.

Reception

Srividya Palaparthi of The Times of India gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "The movie is quite predictably every Puri film ever -- an unconquerable hero, a larger than life conspiracy, a bimbo who falls in love as a result of stalking."[8]
