Collectively they refer themselves as RRR. Ragupathi hears about India's most wanted criminal Dawood Ibrahim, on the news and the reward for catching him to be ₹50 lakh (US$58,000), where he and his friends plan to capture Dawood for the reward money and they name the mission Mishan Impossible. Their plan is to go to Mumbai and capture Dawood.
Meanwhile, Sailaja sets eyes on her next target Ram Shetty, who was also involved in child trafficking. Through an informer embedded in Shetty's criminal organization by Satish, she learns his next major operation will be in Mumbai. She hatches a plan to expose him on live television so that she can prevent support from corrupt politicians in Shetty's payroll to influence his criminal proceedings. The RRR gang mistakenly board a lorry for Bangalore instead of Mumbai on the day of their journey. On their way to Mumbai, Sailaja and Vikram learn that Shetty's operation is in Mangalore not Mumbai. Unfortunately, they also meet with a minor accident due to sudden change of route by Sailaja. RRR struggle on the streets of Bangalore, where they end up losing all their money in their futile search for Dawood.
However, RRR witnesses the killing of the informant who has been supplying Sailaja and her team with the information. Some time later, Rajaram is abducted by Shetty's child trafficking gang. Ragupathi and Raghava are scared and start blaming each other for their situation. Sailaja finds them and offers money so that they can go home. However, they refuse to leave without finding Rajaram. After listening to their naive plan of capturing Dawood, Sailaja admires their courage. She manages to convince the children to aid her in capturing "Dawood". Raghupati and Raghava also get themselves kidnapped. On their way to the Shetty's child trafficking house, Raghava marks the way with broken pieces of Rubik's Cube. Once inside, they reunite with Rajaram.
Sailaja, Satish and Vikram manage to smuggle a recording device to the trafficking house. RRR plant them in important locations and capture the evidence of trafficking. They also gather the location of the beach where next operation of Shetty supposedly takes place, but they are wrong. On the day of abduction they are loaded into vans to take to the nearby beach. From there, they are to be trafficked to Dubai. They leave behind the wrong beach location and the evidence they gathered for Sailaja and her team to find them. Vikram and Sailaja find the trafficking house with the help of Rubik's Cube pieces left earlier by Raghava. At the trafficking house, they get the evidence and location of beach. Satish also manages to get full police support thanks to the evidence.

## Reception

A reviewer from The Hans India gave the film a rating of 3/5 and wrote "Though director took an interesting plot screenplay can be much better. Few illogical scenes and climax disappoints audience". Neeshita Nyayapati of The Times of India gave the film a rating of 2.5/5 and wrote "Mishan Impossible sounds great on paper and has all the makings of a crime comedy that’ll leave you in splits but also move you. But in reality, Swaroop only manages to do that in bits and pieces".

Unfortunately, Mishan Impossible fails to launch". A reviewer from Pinkvilla gave the film a rating of 2.5/5 and wrote "Mishan Impossible' makes for a time pass watch.

Murali Krishna CH of The New Indian Express gave the film a rating of 2/5 and wrote "The film could have been a thrilling ride on the wild side of humour with such talents at their best – only if the writing and the execution also scaled such heights".

L Ravichander of Telangana Today stated "Mishan Impossible is a whiff of fresh air in the context of Tollywood to a cinema".
