Disco Raja 2020

Brutally attacked and left for dead high in the snow-clad Ladakh mountains, a man is found by an expedition team, frozen solid and lifeless, only to be rushed to the Re-Live lab. There, Dr. Shishir Shishir Sharma introduces a radical revival technique to Dr. Parineeti Tanya Hope and her colleague Phalguni, who work together to bring him back. The subject wakes with no memory of his past, a blank slate that puzzles everyone around him.

In Delhi, the revived man’s girlfriend Nabha Nabha Natesh explains to a loan officer that the man, named Vasu Ravi Teja, has lived many lives from day to night, and that she fell for him despite his mysteries. She also reveals a shattering truth: Vasu’s family members are actually orphans who came to live together under one roof. As the story unfolds, Vasu escapes using Parineeti’s card, only to be recaptured after a flash of bright lights drains his energy.

Parineeti insists that Vasu was killed and revived by the doctors, but she remains determined to coax his memories back. She gives him a clue-laden package, which Phalguni helps to service, in hopes of triggering recollections. In a bid to command attention from those who remember him, Vasu lashes out at a minister, and the event goes viral after his arrest. An aging gangster named Burma Sethu Bobby Simha is stunned to find Vasu alive and orders his men to seize him from the police with support from Laalu Sastry’s outfit. The abduction pulls in Vasu, his brother, and the doctors into a perilous trap.

Phalguni discards the package that Parineeti had delivered, but Vasu salvages it and discovers a Walkman and headphones inside. As the music plays, memories flood back, and Vasu fights off the henchmen, revealing himself to be Disco Raj, a notorious identity linked to the same elusive past. The revelation reaches Burma Sethu through Laalu Sastry, and the layers of memory begin to unravel. Shishir notes that Raj’s age would be around seventy—an effect of being frozen for decades—and warns that he may not be Vasu after all.

Raj, now aware of his own history, takes Phalguni along as he and she embark on a journey to rediscover who he truly is. Back in the hospital, an injured Shishir explains Raj’s revival to Sethu, while Raj visits the Madras Bar that he once built. A friend there recounts Raj as a music-loving gangster whose war with Sethu—another ruthless gang leader who refused to collaborate—led to a brutal clash that claimed many lives.

The two factions escalate the violence, but Raj manages to bring Sethu to justice and have him arrested for life. In parallel, Raj falls for a deaf-mute woman named Helen Payal Rajput; their romance deepens, and when Helen becomes pregnant, Raj marries her, fakes his own death, and steps away from his gang to start anew. Yet Sethu is released and seeks vengeance, attacking Raj’s former territory and crew. Raj and Helen are ambushed in Ladakh, but Raj manages to send Helen to safety before dying in the skirmish.

Following the upheaval, Raj reveals to Vasu that he is his father, and the truth reverberates through their reunion. The moment arrives on a dramatic battlefield where Vasu questions Raj about Helen’s fate. Raj denies any role in her death, and when a corrupt cop’s brainwashing of Vasu and the goons is exposed, the truth comes to light and the danger recedes. The conspiracy centers on Anthony Das, who gave orders to kill them; with Vasu at his side, Raj and Phalguni corner Anthony’s men, only for Anthony—revealed to be Raj’s former ally Uttar Kumar— to shoot Raj.

Anthony’s treachery is further exposed as he had even faked his own death and was among those who stabbed Raj in Ladakh. The brothers-in-arms and Phalguni fight off the remaining goons, and Raj defeats Anthony but succumbs to his injuries. Back in Delhi, Vasu pays off his family’s loan with the help of Kaushik [Rajsekhar Aningi], and he reconciles with Nabha, stabilizing a life built on truth and memory.

In a final twist, Raj is brought back to life once again in the Re-Live lab, with Sethu and Anthony also recovering nearby, leaving the door open for a renewed, if fragile, balance between memory and possibility.
