Action, Comedy

Veera Raghavan, an Indian RAW agent is assigned to capture the terrorist Umar Farooq. While he successfully manages to do so, a missile shot by him to prevent Farooq's escape injures and kills a civilian child, traumatising Veera, who quits RAW. 11 Months later, Veera is still reeling from the after-effects of the child's death and is suffering from PTSD. He meets Preethi at a wedding, and they fall in love. Preethi convinces him to join her company 'Dominic & Soldiers,' a failing security service. Meanwhile, the Tamil Nadu government gets intel that a major terrorist event is planned in Chennai. Along with Preethi and her boss, Veera visits the East Coast mall, their last client. Veera observes a series of suspicious activities in the mall and deduces that someone else has taken over it. He is proven right, as terrorists dressed as Santa Claus open fire and hijack the mall. Veera, Preethi, and a few others hide unharmed inside an unopened restaurant. The Government, led by Althaf Hussain, an ex-associate of Veera, try to negotiate with the terrorists, who demand the release of Umar Farooq. Althaf comes to know that Veera is also trapped inside the mall, and he manages to establish contact with him. Althaf tries to convince Veera to help them. Veera, initially hesitant, gets convinced when he realises that the terrorists are here for Umar Farooq. He kills one of the terrorists, captures another one alive, and brings him to their hideout. He manages to infiltrate the terrorists and eliminates a few of them. The Home Minister, who is in league with the terrorists, gets them to stage the execution of his wife and daughter, who are also in the mall, on live TV. The government succumbs to this and agrees to release Farooq. Enraged, Veera retaliates and kidnaps the Home minister's wife and daughter by pretending to be a Bangladeshi militant to confuse the terrorists and he threatens to kill them if Farooq is released. The leader of the terrorists, Umar Saif, senses his impending defeat and seemingly gives up, only to slip among the crowd pretending to be a hostage. He soon figures out Veera's real identity and forces him and his aides to give up and captures all of them. With the help of the Home Minister's daughter, Veera manages to escape, and he eliminates all the terrorists while making sure the hostages escape to safety. The Home Minister is arrested for his involvement with the terrorists. Meanwhile, amidst all the negotiation, Umar Farooq was released. A few months later, Veera finds and captures him in Pakistan and after surviving a long air chase against Pakistan Air Force manages to bring him back to India to have him arrested. Veera, Preethi and the rest of his crew celebrate their escapades in Goa.
