Plot
The films begin with the CBCID department of India appointing a spirited officer, Ashok, to seize a hardcore notorious terrorist, Sultan, who is always in disguise by hiding his real identity. According to an intelligence report, the Sultan will attack a Minister. So, Ashok plans a trap to snare him. Presently, the Sultan lands in the guise of and assassinates the minister. Ashok chases him, and he gets hold of the Sultan's mask in combat. However, Ashok succeeds in detecting his true face. The next day, the same person joins as a forest officer, Prithvi Raj. He loves and knits a girl, Renuka. In the meantime, Ashok is busy tracing Sultan and spots Prithvi with Renuka. Suddenly, he grabs him and puts him in secret custody. Ergo, Renuka conducts a severe agitation that shakes the country. Hence, the Government allows the case to stout-hearted CBI officer Mustafa. On the first day of the mission, Mustafa gets a rude shock in the form of a bomb from the Sultan, which he manages to escape. Shortly, Mustafa flies down and strongly affirms to Ashok that Prithvi & Sultan are two, which he denies when a conflict arises. After a while, Ashok & Mustafa discern Prithvi & Sultan are twins who split in childhood. Now, they plan a strategy to capture the Sultan via Prithvi. Initially, Prithvi shows an absence of consent but later accepts it by learning about his country's eminence. Once they start their mission, Prithvi explores Sultan's girlfriend, Vandana, tracing her. He successfully reaches Sultan's house, where he has his mother & wife, Revathi. Sultan senses something fishy in no time and ruses the counterattack in which Mustafa dies while guarding Prithvi. In the interim, the Sultan seizes Renuka on his island. However, Ashok & Prithvi made a breakthrough and took steps therein. At that point, Ashok provides insight into his men's double-cross to the Sultan, who is destroying the entire country. At last, Sultan, after soul-searching, destroys the militant activities along with Ashok & Pruthvi. Finally, the movie ends with the Sultan sacrificing his life for the country.
