Plot

Siddharth is a hacker who leads a delightful life, which includes his father, Rao, & his mother. One day, when he goes to college, he meets a girl named Diya. However, an unexpected incident leads him to another hacker named Shivam, who knows that only Siddharth can hack their illegal hacking system. Enraged with this knowledge, Shivam sends men to kill Siddharth, whom his father shields, who gets caught in the crossfire. Eventually, Siddharth finds the culprit behind the attack on his father while also learning the reason for his friend's suicide. As Siddharth looks for Shivam, he gets a statement of his girlfriend's abduction. Eventually, through some clues, Siddharth finds the kidnapper and saves his girlfriend. Shivam and his goons try to coerce Siddharth to join their side but he doesn't take heed; he makes dry ice bombs and proceeds to kill Shivam and his cronies. Finally, he kills Shivam with a bomb.
