In Mumbai, A gangster named Chota Nayak escapes from police custody and sets out to look for his aide-turned-foe Ranganath, who turned police informer and stole Nayak's money worth ₹10,000 crore (US$1.1 billion). Jai is a fire department officer in Hyderabad who happens to help Ranganath who soon dies due to the fire accident. Nayak suspects Jai to be an accomplice of Ranganath and reaches Hyderabad to enquire him about Ranganath. Jai meets Savithri and they start dating to know about each other.
Meanwhile, Nayak traces Jai and enquires him to reveal about his conversation with Ranganath, to which Jai objects and warns him not to trouble him again. Nayak threatens to kill whoever is close to Jai and keeps his word when he kills Jai's friend Ajay and Jai's uncle in a fire accident, after which Jai kills Nayak's brother. Jai then sends his family to a safe place, but Savithri, unaware of Nayak's presence, talk to Jai. Nayak then finds out about Savitri and captures her and he threatens to kill her if Jai does not hand over the money. Jai realizes where the money is and rifles through Ranganath's coat, where he finds a book containing the bank account and password where the money is located.
Jai calls Nayak, and they meet at a desolate market for the exchange, but the exchange goes wrong when ACP Parasuram tries to capture Nayak. Nayak escapes, much to Parasuram's dismay. Later, Nayak gains access to the bank account and finds it empty as all the money had been transferred to the injured Savithri's account. Nayak tries reviving Savithri in an abandoned construction site with the help of doctors, who revives her from the injuries and reveals her account number. Jai arrives and sets fire to the building where he sends Savithri in the hospital ambulance and defeats Nayak's henchmen and stops the financial transaction.

## Reception

123telugu gave 3.25 out of 5 stars and wrote "On the whole, Jil is one of the most stylized films that has come out in the recent past. Stunning visuals, peppy music and decent performances are basic assets. If you end up bearing the routine story and a predictable second half, you can definitely watch the masala entertainer this weekend."
