PLOT
Ram, an orphan inspired by a school pledge, grows up believing that the entire country is his family. As a child, he began stealing from the rich to fund struggling orphanages. Years later, the police begin tracking the elusive thief known as "Robinhood." Meanwhile, Neera, the daughter of a wealthy Australian CEO, Vasudev, travels to India to reconnect with her roots. Her father, fearing for her safety, hires a security firm found via a Google search. Unbeknownst to them, it is a rundown outfit in Hyderabad run by Janardhan Sunnipetah, aka John Snow. Ram coincidentally joins the same firm.
Neera visits a village where her grandfather helps the locals. The village is under threat from Swamy, a drug dealer who wants to use the land for drug cultivation. When Neera learns that Swamy's men injured her grandfather and are terrorizing the villagers, she and Ram attempt to rally the villagers, who are too afraid to resist. Ram pretends to side with Swamy to gain access to his operations, hacking Swamy's phone to plant fake evidence. However, Swamy discovers the ruse and captures Ram.
When Ram is captured, Neera's grandfather is also present, and Swamy's goons threaten to kill him. Ram, under the influence of drugs, fights back fiercely. It is revealed that as a child, Neera's grandfather saw Ram giving his money to an old lady despite Ram being a poor orphan. Moved by this act, he admits Ram into a great orphanage, to which he donates money. Soon, Ram learns about Robinhood and his actions after the grandfather is injured and can no longer send money to the orphanage. He discovers that donations are being misused by greedy individuals seeking fame. This realization prompts Ram to start stealing from corrupt and selfish people. After waking from his drug-induced state, Ram learns that fellow orphans, posing as security guards, rescue Neera's family.
Ram makes one last visit to Swamy's hideout and battles him, but the confrontation is interrupted by Victor Varghese, a police officer who has been searching for Robinhood from the start. When Ram hacked Swamy's phone, Victor was monitoring transactions, and just as Ram's name appeared in connection with Robinhood's activities, Ram's hacker friend altered the evidence, making it appear that Swamy was Robinhood—leading to Swamy's arrest. Victor is left wondering how Ram was able to find Robinhood first. During one of Robinhood's heists, Ram failed to escape without Victor noticing him. Prior to this, Ram had filed a police report about Robinhood stealing his father's money, so that if he was caught, it would be under the pretext of his investigation.
