Kahani ki shuruaat ek aise shehar ya desh se hoti hai jahan kanoon ka nahi, balki 'power' ka raj chalta hai. Film ka mukhya kirdar (Yash) ek aise vyakti ke roop mein dikhaya gaya hai jo underworld ki duniya mein ek bada naam hai. Uska swag aur kaam karne ka tarika bilkul alag hai. Wo ek aisa "Antagonistic Hero" hai jo apne dushmanon ke liye kaal hai, lekin apno ke liye ek protector.Kahani mein mod tab aata hai jab hero ka samna ek aise dushman se hota hai jo sirf takat se nahi balki dimag se khelta hai. Is underworld ki satta (power) ko lekar bade-bade mafia groups ke beech jung chhid jati hai.
Lekin is baar baat sirf paison ya zameen ki nahi hai. Ismein ek personal angle juda hai. Hero ke past (ateet) se juda ek aisa sach samne aata hai jo use ye sochne par majboor kar deta hai ki wo jo kar raha hai wo sahi hai ya nahi. Film mein female lead (jiska kirdar Nayanthara ya Kiara Advani nibha rahi hain) ka roll bahut ahem hai. Wo hero ki zindagi ka wo hissa hai jo use insaniyat ki yaad dilata hai, lekin unki chemistry bhi kaafi 'intense' aur thodi 'toxic' dikhayi gayi hai.Film ko ek "Fairy Tale" (pariyon ki kahani) kaha gaya hai, lekin ye bacchon ke liye nahi hai. Iska matlab ye hai ki jaise pariyon ki kahaniyon mein ek rakshas hota hai, ek jung hoti hai aur ant mein ek jeet hoti hai, yahan bhi waisa hi hai—lekin sab kuch bahut hi dark aur violent hai.
Yahan hero hi 'rakshas' bhi hai aur 'rajkumar' bhi. Kahani dikhati hai ki kaise power aur paisa insaan ko ek aise raaste par le jaate hain jahan se wapas aana namumkin hai. Action sequences ko international level par design kiya gaya hai, jismein bade-bade jahaz, weapons aur high-speed chases shamil hain.Interval ke waqt ek bada dhoka (betrayal) hota hai. Hero ko lagta hai ki wo sab kuch control kar raha hai, lekin tabhi use pata chalta hai ki uske apne hi log dushman ke saath mile huye hain. Uska pura samrajya (empire) khatre mein pad jata hai. Yahan se film ka tone aur bhi dark ho jata hai aur hero apne 'Beast Mode' mein aata haiClimax mein ek bahut bada shootout aur showdown hota hai. Hero akela poori mafia force se bhidta hai. Lekin ye sirf goliyon ki jung nahi hai, balki jazbaaton ki bhi hai. Hero ko ek bada balidaan (sacrifice) dena padta hai taaki wo un logon ko bacha sake jinhone use pyar kiya.
Film ka ant ek aise mod par hota hai jahan viewer ko ye sochne par majboor hona padta hai ki: "Kya buraai ko khatam karne ke liye khud bura banna zaroori hai?"
