## Plot

Sathya a.k.a Mass Cool is the right-hand man of a casino owner named Don David who offers him money and sends him on a mission to recover a hard disk belonging to his ex-girlfriend, Milan. The hard disk contains some private files from when he was in a relationship with Milan who is threatening him as he is now living a family life with his wife and children. Later, Sathya learns that David is betraying him, that he never had a family, and the money given to him was fake.
Sathya becomes friends with Milan and asks her what was really on the hard disk. Milan reveals that David had taken a loan from her bank manager friend, who later committed suicide as David had no intention of paying it back. However, the manager recorded a private clip of David. Sathya uses the clip to threaten David to make him pay back the loan, and David pays back the loan.
As revenge, David causes a car crash which leads to Milan being hospitalised and in urgent need of blood. The doctor reveals that Milan has a rare blood group Bombay O+ and only two people has the same group. With the first person dead, the only person remaining with the same blood group is a bar dancer named Rosy.
Sathya travels to K.G.F and brings Rosy, a bar dancer, by paying a debt she owed which forced her to work in a dance bar. David tries to stop Rosy from getting to Milan and sends some goons but Sathya overpowers them. Sathya along with Rosy on the road once again faces David and a car chase ensues but Sathya confuses and tricks David into chasing a police car which has another Rosy from the same bar.
Milan is rescued and asks Sathya about the reason of helping her. Sathya tells that he wanted a bank loan through her help so that he can open a club. Few months later, Sathya finally opens a club with Milan and Rosy's help.
