Dacoit: A Love Story

Dacoit: A Love Story

At 2021, during COVID-19, K. Haridas "Hari", a Dalit convict hailing from Hindupuram, escapes from Kadapa Central Jail with the help of his ex-cellmate, Ishaq Bhai, to exact revenge against Saraswati alias "Juliet", his ex-girlfriend who double-crossed him to the police for killing her elder brother, Ramesh, and raping his friend and landlord, Malli, falsely. SI S. Janaki is tasked with catching Hari, but he holds her at knifepoint and escapes. He reaches Ishaq's den, where he asks Hari to steal ₹70 lakhs to send him to Dubai from Mumbai, as he is declared wanted by the police. Janaki later asks the assistance of her father, CI D. Rambabu alias "Swamy", for help in the case. Before his task, he goes to Hindupuram to confront Juliet and sees her rushing her daughter, Chinni, to Karuna Hospitals, where her husband awaits a costly heart transplant. There, he discovers the hospital staff extorting patients by exploiting the pandemic and learns Juliet’s husband’s donor has sold himself to another patient for more money. Exposing the corruption, he persuades Juliet to help him as a getaway driver in robbing Karuna Hospitals. With the support of an insider, they hold CEO Solomon Reddy hostage, but the plan fails when Reddy’s men intervene, leading to a high-speed chase which garners Swamy and his assistant Prasad's attention.
