Ghost

An anonymous person and his gang hijack the central prison in Karnataka, where they capture prisoners, prison officials and Vamana Srinivasan, ex-CBI officer, and hold them as hostages. ACP Chengappa is assigned to solve the hostage issue. A cat-and-mouse game ensues between the anonymous person and Chengappa during which the person is revealed as Dalavayi Muddanna alias "Big Daddy", an infamous crime boss. Chengappa learns that Dalavayi and his gang hijacked the prison to steal gold bars. It is revealed that Vamana had discovered the gold bars during a CBI raid and had hidden it in the prison, due to public attention of a controversial gold scam. Vamana and Thomas, the prison officer, decided to retrieve the gold by implementing privatisation of the prison in order to distract the public, but Prabhu, one of Vamana's officers, learnt about their plan and decided to expose their secrets. Vamana found out about Prabhu and killed him, making it look like a suicide. Vamana also killed Geetha, Prabhu's disabled wife, after she learnt about his plan. Dalavayi and his team find the gold in the prison's newly constructed library. Vamana initiates his next plan of releasing dangerous prisoners to kill Dalavayi and his team. However, they are revealed to be Dalavayi's previous henchmen. Chengappa learns about Dalavayi and is later revealed that he and his officers had killed Dalavayi in a car accident previously.
