Plot

Bangladeshi infiltrators are thriving in Karnataka and other countries around India with the help of the politicians, who practice vote-bank politics. CM Sudarshan's brother Suyodhana takes the help of a terrorist named Rafiq to bring Bangladeshi infiltrators to cast their vote, in order to become MP, but is stopped by Shivraj and his associates Vijay aka Viji and Guru. They kill Suyodhana, earning the wrath of Sudarshan and also take actions against the crime syndicates and other illegal activities.

Azim, a Mangalore contract killer is tasked by Rafiq to kill Shivraj, but is double-crossed by his men and reunites with his mother, who is living with Shivaraj as his daughter Chummi's caretaker. With the help of a reporter Chandini, They successfully drives out the infiltrators by using widespread rumours that they are going to be attacked. Under orders from Pakistani terrorists, Rafiq plant a bomb at Chummi's surgical leg to kill Shivaraj, but Azim and his mother get killed in the blast. In a flashback, Shivraj was an INA Captain in Kashmir with a loving wife Deepa, parents and sister Shreya. Shreya is in relationship with Harshath, who is actually a terrorist and uses Shreya to spy on Shivaraj.

Shivaraj is assigned to escort Central Minister Virendra Hegde to Amarnath temple where his family is also escorted in Hegde's convoy, but the convoy is destroyed leaving Chummi handicapped. Shivaraj, with his team sneak into Harshath's hideout where they learn that their superior Pratap Sinha is the mole in the INA. A shootout ensues where Shivaraj and his team eliminate the terrorists, but Harshath escapes. In the present, Shivaraj, Viji and Guru are actually working incognito for the Indian Army where they track down Harshath and manages to kill him and his men.
