Plot

The movie opens with a lawyer suggesting his friend over phone to watch "SS news channel" to watch a live murder being shown. He cuts the call saying he'll call after watching the murder and switches to that channel, when the power is cut. He commands a computer repairman who had come to repair his PC to checkout what happened to the power and tells him to turn it on when a lightning strikes and the repairman's face is shown. The repairman(Nikhil Gowda) then reveals that he's the one who hacked the channel and put that notification there and tells the lawyer that he's the one who's going to die and eventually manages to kill him while broadcasting it through a drone camera and escapes after defeating all the security guards. The next day an ACP(Jagapathi Babu) arrives to solve the case and names the case and the killer as Jaguar. The next day, there's an speech ceremony by SS Medical College's topper Arya who gets elected as the student leader and vows that there'll be no ragging in the college hereafter and proceeds to welcome the first years. One of the first years happens to be Krishna(Nikhil Gowda) or "SS Krishna", as he likes to call himself, and stages a drama saying that ragging is essential to a college since it bridges the senior-junior gap and provides a platform for juniors to display their talents to which the rest of the first years agree. Krishna then walks towards Arya and tells him that he'll go after his sister Priya(Deepti Sati) next and bets that he'll make her fall in love with him to which Arya's friend, who is apparently in love with Priya, gets enraged and is about to attack Krishna when Arya prevents him saying his sister is not that innocent. The next day Krishna follows Priya and gets a Pizza and proposes to her friend to which Priya gets enraged and tells that she knows his techniques and that she won't fall for him. Krishna then acts like crying and leaves the place while the other girls tell Priya to apologize. The next day Krishna makes fun of Priya in class and also teases Arya. Finally Krishna kills both the villains.
