Krishna is a youngster, who disguises himself in a vigilante costume and kills a Judge, where he telecasts it on live air from SS Channels, a leading news channel and escapes from the watchmen, who tried to catch him. Krishna joins SS medical college where he behaves care freely and also earns the irk of senior student leader Arya, Krishna soon falls for Priya, who is Arya's sister where she is irritated by his antics, but warms up to him after he saves a patient. Ajay is a womanizer, who is the son of SS College Chairman Somnath Prasad. Wearing a helmet, Ajay tries to molest Priya (who is later revealed to be Krishna disguised) where she escapes and reveals the incident to Arya where he and the students form a strike in front of the college.

Meanwhile, a CBI officer is appointed to investigate the Judge's death where he dubs the killer as JAGUAR and interrogates SS Channel CEO Shouri Prasad, whom he pays no heed. Somnath Prasad hires ACP Encounter Shankar to call off the students' strike. However, Krishna kills Shankar in an amusement park, where he steals Arya's phone and sends the pictures of himself and the SS Brothers and Ajay to the CBI officer, stating that he will kill them, thus making the SS Brothers believe that Arya is the JAGUAR suspect. The SS Brothers invite Krishna to stay in their house to know about JAGUAR. Ajay plans to kidnap Arya as FAKE JAGUAR where he plans to kill him in live-air, but is saved by Krishna (REAL JAGUAR) where he kills Ajay.

The SS Brothers plan to kill Arya, but Krishna tells them to bribe him. When they meet, Arya denies it and throws Krishna out. The SS brothers plan to tarnish Arya's reputation when they reveal to Krishna about Shivaprasad, who is an altruistic doctor and also reveal that they tarnished his reputation by framing him for the murder of school girl in the villager where he committed suicide. However, Krishna brings his mother to their house, where he reveals to them that he is actually the son of Dr.Shivaprasad and also exposes their crimes to the people by inserting live-camera in their house. Krishna then kills the henchman and Somnath Prasad. A chase ensues in which, Krishna brings Shouri Prasad and kills him with the help of Arya and the college students. Krishna reunites with his mother, Priya and Arya.
