Plot
Sagar Alias Jacky is a powerful crime boss, who is known for solving problems among big gangs. The
This audacity does not sit well with the Rosarios who swear vengeance against Jacky. They kidnap one of Jacky's favourite gangsters and demand ransom. Jacky responds by kidnapping two of the three Rosario brothers and demands that his man be released. Realising that they would never be able to defeat Jacky in a heads-on battle, the Rosario brothers make a deal with Manu and Hari to deliver Sagar's current location. The Rosarios then try to assassinate Jacky, but to no avail. Frustrated with repeated defeats, the Rosarios approach Jacky's former partner and rival Nanthakrishna Naina, who supplies them with an assassin named Sheikh Imran, who is also an internationally infamous assassin.
Imran is asked to assassinate Manu so that the Jacky can be framed for the murder, but the Rosarios's plan backfires as Indu provides witness that Jacky was not responsible for her husband's murder. Imran is then asked to assassinate Jacky, where he manages to kill Jacky's bodyguard, but Jacky escapes. Jacky hunts down Imran and kills him. The Rosarios kidnap Jacky's love interest Arati, a news reporter, where Jacky is asked to arrive at a place to work out a deal. When Jacky reaches there, he finds Arati dead. Enraged, Jacky goes to the Rosarios' club and goes on a killing spree, where he later leaves to Dubai where Naina is hiding on a yacht. With the help of some gangsters, Jacky plants explosives on the yacht and blows it up. Jacky informs Indu that Manu's death has been avenged.

Reception
Unni R Nair from Indian Express wrote that "Sagar Alias Jacky Reloaded fails to deliver and leaves you wondering what it was all about. It's technical brilliance wasted on an utterly nonsensical script."[4] Sify.com wrote that "But Sagar alias Jacky is not an unwatchable movie. For the locations and look, it can be seen. But what could have been a fearless, edgy action thriller is ultimately only a half-decent enterprise because it lacks a strong story. You can watch it only because it?s a new format but for most parts prepare to be seriously bored"[5] Paresh C Palicha from Rediff.com Wrote that "Amal Neerad's second directorial venture after Big B is just an average fare, which is a disappointment considering the high expectations" [6]
