The plot of the movie rendered below is not chronological.
The entire story unfolds on a New Year's Eve.
Vivek Chakravarthi is an upcoming rock star who hails from a family of decorated army officers. His mother wants him to follow the same path but he isn't interested. He is on his way from Bengaluru to Hyderabad to give his first live concert on account of New Year's Eve with his band-mates. However, Vivek is late to catch the flight and so they are all forced to travel by road. After sometime, one of their tyres get deflated. Not having a proper spare, the other friends go over to get the spare tyre inflated leaving Vivek and Lasya alone. Meanwhile, they are attacked upon by a Hindu racist group. However they manage to get out of the mess with the help of a Sikh truck driver (who incidentally gets involved in an earlier alteraction with Vivek). The band successfully reaches Hyderabad. However they suffer a minor accident there. The accident happens to involve a mother in labour. So Vivek takes her to the hospital.
Saroja is a prostitute in Amalapuram working for Rattamma. She has a best friend named Karpooram who is a eunuch. Saroja doesn't like working for Rattamma and plans to run away from there. Her dreams come true when she receives a call from Hyderabad from one of her agents. The very next day, which happens to be the New Year's Eve, she leaves for Hyderabad together with Karpooram, without Rattamma's knowledge; but not before putting the local sub-inspector Bullabbai to sleep using pills. However, Saroja is arrested in Hyderabad by constables for betraying Bullabbai. Karpooram gets her free from the inspector and they are both taken by their agent to a client. However the client turns out to be yet another broker, who bought Saroja and Karpooram from Rattamma. Both Saroja and Karpooram successfully escape from them after a scuffle in which Karpooram gets stabbed. So, Saroja takes her to the hospital (the same as above).
Ramulu is a debt-ridden poor weaver from Sircilla. He lives together with his daughter-in-law, Padma (played excellently by Saranya Ponvannan) and his grandson. Ramulu is desperate to get his grandson educated, being illiterate himself. However he owes money to the local landlord, who takes his grandson away saying that he would be sent to the construction business in the city for 10 years to recover the money. He gives a time of 3 days. Not knowing what to do, Padma agrees to sell her kidney, which is illegal (Ramulu had previously sold his kidney for the same purpose). They come to Hyderabad and her kidney is sold successfully. The original kidney is sold for 1 lakh rupees of which 80,000 rupees go to Ramulu's agent. The agent gives Ramulu only 37,000 rupees.
Raheemuddin Qureshi is a Muslim hailing from Old Basti in Hyderabad. In the past, his wife lost her pregnancy due to a scuffle between him and a few Ganesh devotees during a religious procession. Unable to bear the loss, he decides to leave the country. However during his going away party, a police officer (who previously insulted Qureshi during the scuffle) comes to his house and arrests his nephews, alleging that they have links with terrorists. When Qureshi obstructs him, he arrests him too. During the interrogation, one of his nephews accepts his terrorist background and says that something horrific would happen on the New Year's Eve. Qureshi is shocked. When the police transports him to remand, Qureshi panicks and tries to escape. However, his escape bid is unsuccessful and he gets shot in the leg. He is then taken to the hospital and kept in the same ward as another terrorist suspect.
Cable Raju is a lower middle class guy hailing from Jubilee Hills slum living with his maternal grandmother. He loves Pooja, who is from the upper class of the society. Pooja, however, doesn't know of Raju's poor background and thinks of him to be rich. Raju has to get 2 passes for a lavish New Year's Eve party which cost 39,998 rupees. He tries to obtain that money in multiple ways, but is unsuccessful. He even tries to snatch chains from women's necks, but is apprehended by the police when his motorbike hits a police van. He is taken to the police station where he meets Saroja. However Dappu Subani (who initiated him into the chain snatching business) comes to his rescue and gets him freed. His grandmother, vexed at his behaviour, gives him 3,000 rupees and asks him to do whatever he wants. In a local cafeteria, he happens to see Ramulu with his money bundle and decides to steal it and thus follows him to the hospital. He successfully manages to steal the bundle from Ramulu and Padma. However just as he is about to pay money for the passes, he realises his mistake, adds his own 3,000 rupees to the bundle and returns it to Ramulu.
Meanwhile, a group of terrorists come to the ward housing Qureshi and free their leader. They however leave Qureshi unharmed on account of his being a Muslim and start the terrorist attack. Raju and Vivek try to save as many people as possible. They even kill two terrorists in the process. Qureshi saves the life of the policeman who arrested him. In the final fight sequence, both Raju and Vivek valiantly give up their lives, trying to protect all the people in the hospital.
The conclusion of the movie shows Saroja deciding to change her occupation; Vivek being recognised as a national hero; Raju being respected by all in his community, with Pooja coming to see him along with her mother; Qureshi being left free by the thankful policeman and Ramulu successfully repaying the money and getting his grandson back.
