The plot of this movie resembles the American political satire comedy film The Campaign released in 2018 directed by Jay Roach, written by Shawn Harwell and Chris Henchy.

Plot

Nograj (Danish Sait) is a corrupt corporator of a fictitious constituency called DS Nagar, whose MLA, Jagatprabhu F. Kumar, abbreviated JFK (Hanumanthe Gowda), treats corporators as his servants and steals credit for their public achievements. Nograj encounters this firsthand when, after making a hospital pay him for 3 times the cost, Nograj repaves a road but JFK takes credit for it. Afterwards, when Nograj showed his fellow corporators compromising footage of themselves, they plan to kick JFK out. Nograj and his fellow OBP corporators orchestrate a garbage collector strike and also do a no-parking scam, in which the party thugs collect fines for nonexistent parking violations, all to stoke anger against JFK. The combined public anger causes the president KG Byrappa (Akki Basappa) to refuse to let JFK stand in the upcoming MLA election. Nograj convinces the party secretary Gurudas Bhat (Raghu Ramakoppa) to advocate for his candidacy to the vice president of OBP Michael Narayan (Srinivas Prabhu), but Gurudas also says he needs to be noticed in order to be picked. To this end, Nograj bribes the electrician Kempaiah to shut off the power grid. Nograj publicly threatens to cut himself if the power is not returned, which leads to restoration of power.

Arun Patil (Roger Narayan), an honest NRI leading a pharmaceutical company sees the failings of the government around him and decides to try and change it by running for MLA. Patil actually focuses on implementing solution, like installing protective lining under pools of polluted water, trucking water to those affected by water shortages, or giving generators to those affected by Nograj's power outage. In addition, Patil finds out Nograj is behind a scam that is charging people artificially inflated prices for purified water from tankers, leading to constant water shortages. However, he refuses to release the information as a normal politician like Nograj himself would. For his main speech, in order to make a manifesto, Nograj breaks into Patil's office to steal his, which was unsuccessful. Although Patil's co-workers ask him to release the footage of Nograj's break-in, Patil refuses, saying there are more important things for him to focus on. During their speeches, Patil clearly lays out how he could change the government to help the people while Nograj just talks nonsense to paid supporters.

Nograj creates controversies to make Patil seem worse. Nograj tails Patil and doctors footage of him helping his wife Rama (Shruti Harihatan) in a store to claim he had harassed her by taking her clothes off. He also coerces a former Muslim employee of Patil's company to claim he was fired for his religion when he actually had sold pharmaceuticals in the black market. Nograj eventually meets Patil at his house and finds him kind and honest, and begins to think twice about all the mudslinging he is doing and sees that Patil. After his faithful assistant Monjunath (Vijay Chendoor) gets him to remember his true goals of making as much money as possible, Nograj claims that Patil beat him up at their meeting, after Monjunath and his other helper Pramod (Vamsidhar Bhogaraju) beat him up themselves, which quickly gains media attention.

On election day, Nograj's gang convinces people to turn in their voter IDs and uses those to vote for Nograj. At the announcement of results, Nograj wins but tricks Patil into thinking that he will give the title to Patil, then takes the victory, stating that Patil, like everyone else, should be a citizen because he believed Nograj was genuine. The OBP members then celebrate wildly with Nograj. When Rama asks Patil why he didn't reveal Nograj's water scam, he says he would never stoop to Nograj's level.
