Kakha's opposition Aatma asks Munna to join him, but he refuses his proposal. A mind game ensues where Khakha's second wife, son Rahul and daughter Shruthi leave him and join Munna. After many incidents including his best friend's death, Munna finds out that Aatma was working for Khakha. Aatma and Khakha plans to kill Munna in a factory, but Aatma turns against Khakha and Munna in turn of events.

Reception

Critical reception

Idlebrain gave 3/5 stars and praised Prabhas' performances, stylized direction and budget, but criticized its narration and wrote "There is no holistic perspective in the film. Let us wait and see if Dil Raju's 'Midas Touch' works for this film or not!."^[8]
