The film begins with a woman searching for her husband, who was a police officer. After the police fail to give any clue about her missing husband, she meets the villain Al Saleem (Manoj Bajpai), who thrashes her to death almost. She survives and pleads with God to save the society. Then she finds that she was pregnant and she gives birth to a boy. She brings him up and makes him an upright cop with the name Komaram Puli (Pawan Kalyan). He saves the prime minister (Girish Karnad) in Hong Kong from the hands of terrorists and when he was going to be rewarded, he pleads with prime minister to help him launch a special team ‘Puli Team’ to police the policemen. The agenda of the Puli team is to help the innocent people who were deprived of justice from police and make the police officer to solve their grievances. Once Puli gets a complaint about a missing police officer Hussain (Surya) and investigates the case. He finds that Hussain got the last call from Al Saleem. When Al Saleem demands ‘evidence’, he returns empty handed. Later, Puli finds Al Saleems’ car parked in a no-parking zone and tows it away. While finding the details, Puli comes to know that Al Saleem bought the car from Nixon, a mafia don, who allegedly died in an encounter in Hong Kong. Meanwhile, Puli falls into the love trap of Madhumati (Nikisha Patel) and she plays another trick and get him married too. While investigating the nexus between Al Saleem and Nixon, he finds a dancer (Shriya) with Nixon and enquires about her. She first tells Puli that she just loved Nixon and later she came to know that he is a mafia don after he died in encounter. Later, she calls up Puli to reveal the truth. By the time, Puli reaches her, she gets killed. On his way to that dancer, Puli gets a call from the ACP (Nazar), who wants to reveal some facts about Nixon. Puli sends his team mate to protect the ACP not knowing that he himself is Nixon. The ACP dies in the hands of Nixon. Finally, Puli cracks the truth with the help of a Pen Drive given by the ACP. So Nixon kidnaps Puli’s mother and wife. In the climax, Puli goes to Al Saleem, who innocently reveals all his crimes thinking that Puli was alone. However, Puli carries a secret camera, through which his entire revelation telecast live on all channels across the world. As Puli comes to know that Al Saleem is behind his father’s death, he takes revenge and kills Al Saleem. The film ends on a happy note.

PERFORMANCE:
Pawan Kalyan appears imitating Sai Kumar, who played the police officer roles in several Kannada and Telugu films. His voice was loud and at times unbearable. He tried to put his entire energy with ever dialogue. Really, he gave an eccentric performance, which is not expected from a good artiste like Pawan Kalyan, who played cool in all his earlier films. The love and romantic scenes between the hero and the heroine are disgusting and gives a feel of aversion. None of the love scenes were properly shot and they all appear very dramatic and cinematic. Nikisha Patel is some saving grace as her beautiful eyes, fresh oomph gives a relief to the front-benchers at least. Though she did not get any scope to perform, she filled the glamour slot well. Shriya’s item number is below average and such a song doesn’t need a heroine like Shriya as any of the item girls could do it. Manoj Bajpayee’s character is another disaster. The director introduces him as an international don, but it ends up in such a poor manner and he was almost shown as a comedy villain with no dignity. Other artistes including Nazar, Charan Raj, Saranya, Girish Karnad and others just appear in some scenes and did justice to their roles. Ali was wasted.

TECHNICAL:
The producer had spent a lot on the film and the lavishness appears on the screen. But the entire money went waste due to the poor and disastrous attitude of the director. The entry of the hero was shot in Hong Kong. Though the action scene choreographed in the introduction would get whistles from front-benchers and Power Star’s fans, it appears very cinematic for a common audience.  None of the action scenes were properly shot and most of them appear quite cinematic. The director must have thought of making the film on the lines of some Hollywood films and hence the film lost nativity. The film is fully of graphics, rope work. Cinematography is average and the editing is atrocious. Music is audible but the choreography of songs is not impressive. Re-recording is loud and noisy. The director left the entire film disjointed. Screenplay was atrocious and he lost grip on the main storyline with wrong placement of songs, love scenes and poor narration. It is absurd to show the power of God during the birth of the hero and, the power of mother’s tear in making the hero recharge before death.

ANALYSIS:
The poor screenplay and lackadaisical attitude of the director is clearly visible with inconsistent appearance of the hero. He appears with a long moustache in one scene and in the next immediate scene, it gets shortened. He appears in Khakhi for a while and in olive green uniform. It is not known why a police officer need six body guards two before and four after, especially when he was talking about policing on police. It is a surprise how in one scene the villain’s car towed away by the hero in Hyderabad and in the next scene he appears in Hong Kong with a helipad on the roof top of a big building. Such inconsistencies made the film laughable and the film has no visual appeal and even the hardcore fans of Mega family curse the director for giving another disaster to Pawan Kalyan.
