Direction: Radha Mohan
Radha Mohan has followed the pattern followed by Hollywood, concentrating on the terrorist and their demands, a smooth talking government negotiator who wears them down and finally the action commando who successfully implements a risky rescue act. He has succeeded largely in making it a taut thriller encompassing human elements like sentiments and humour. The film revolves around how a passenger flight is hijacked by hard core terrorists and the rescue operation by the army commandos that follow. A Chennai to New Delhi flight gets hijacked by a group of terrorists. The flight is force landed at Tirupati airport due to a technical snag. The government with the help of Home Secretary Viswanath (Prakash Raj) starts negotiating with the hijackers who demand money and the release of their leader Yousuf Khan a dreaded ‘Jihadi’ terrorist.
Raveendra (Nagarjuna) the National Security Guards Commando chief wants to storm the aircraft and rescue the passengers. But the government team says it is a “high risk” operation especially in an election year! The government decides to release the ‘most wanted terrorist’ but there is a twist which leads to a commando operation.
