Plot Raghav Shetty, a powerful don and a martial arts world champion, abducts Siya Khurana from her film set in Hyderabad and takes her to Bangkok. Siya's father, P.P. Khurana, along with Dasanna, a film producer, seeks the government officers and cops for help, but no one is ready to assist them as Raghav is an influential person and there is no extradition treaty between India and Thailand. Khurana then suggests to Dasanna that Ranveer "Ronny" Pratap Singh, Siya's ex-boyfriend and a rebellious martial artist, can destroy Raghav and rescue Siya. Initially hesitant, Ronny agrees as he needs money to treat Subbu, a mute young boy who is being treated for his vocal cords. Past: Ronny meets Siya on a train and falls in love with Siya at first sight. He also sees that Siya also carries a rebellious personality. Raghav also sees Siya and lusts for her.

Guruswamy, Samarjit's former army colleague and Raghav's father. In due course of time, Guruswamy disciplines Ronny into a rebel with a cause, thus making Ronny a rebellious martial artist and the master of the art of Kalaripayattu. As time goes on, Ronny and Siya fall in love with each other. A money-minded Khurana agrees to marry Siya off to Raghav, who lures him with bundles of money. On learning that Siya is in love with Ronny, Khurana rats Ronny out to Raghav, who swears to kill him. Guruswamy overhears the plan and objects to it strongly. Feeling humiliated and enraged, Raghav kills Guruswamy by poisoning him to death. Later, Raghav tells his henchmen to get Ronny in front of him. The henchmen tries to harm Ronnie and Subbu, but Ronny beats up Raghav’s henchmen brutally. Following a confrontation with Raghav and later at Guruswamy's funeral, Khurana creates an atmosphere of misunderstanding in league with Raghav, causing Ronny and Siya to break up and part ways. Present: Ronny reaches Bangkok and visits Raghav's fight club, beating the most potent fighter to attract Raghav's attention. Raghav sends his henchmen to kill Ronnie, but Ronnie beats them up brutally. The next day, Ronny breaks into the house of Biju, Raghav's right-hand man, and holds Biju's wife at gunpoint, forcing him to reveal Siya's location. Learning that she is at the local hospital, Ronny saves Siya and escapes with her under both of them being disguised. Raghav manages to spot them, but couldn't do anything. The two stop at an island on their way back to India, where Siya discovers her father's deceit and the couple reunite. Raghav and his men suddenly attack the couple off-guard, where Biju shoots Ronny, who falls off a cliff. Raghav takes Siya back to his place, but Siya realizes that Ronny is alive, with Raghav being alerted to his invasive underbelly moments later. Realizing Biju's treachery, Raghav questions him and Biju affirms that he spared Ronny as he had spared his wife earlier. Raghav is unconvinced and kills Biju.
