Kittu Unnadu Jagratha 2017

Kittu [Raj Tarun] is a mechanical engineer who runs a small car garage with a tight-knit circle of friends. He fills the days with quick jobs, flashy plans, and a shady side hustle—kidnapping dogs and demanding ransom to free them. Debt gnaws at him from a ruthless moneylender, and when a dangerous squeeze from that lender tightens, Kittu and his crew push their luck even further. As the weight of money owed grows, a desperate decision nudges them toward riskier schemes, and a storm of trouble unfolds when a plan to clear debts spirals out of control.

Kittu meets Janaki [Anu Emmanuel], a woman who catches his eye and kindles something hopeful in him. He pursues her with a mix of charm and stubborn determination, and she gradually opens up to the idea of a relationship. Their connection deepens as he tries to balance love with a life that seems built on misdirection and bargains. While repairing Janaki’s car one day, he discovers a bag stuffed with ₹25 lakh, and she asks him to bring it back in the morning. What begins as a simple task soon becomes a tangled web when the bag is mysteriously stolen by his friend Babji. The loss aggravates Kittu’s financial pressure, and in a bid to cover debt, he and his friends lean even harder on their dog-kidnapping scheme. When Janaki learns of the ruse, she confronts the truth and ends the relationship, feeling betrayed by the man she thought she knew.

AIR [Arbaaz Khan] is a fellow magnate with a cold, calculating edge. He is more than a businessman; he is a shrewd blackmailer who uses fear and leverage to control others. One of his targets is a CBI officer, whom AIR has already compelled to shield a high-stakes deception around a cricketer’s death—Prashanth Varma—whose name and fate are the currency of AIR’s power. An IT raid disrupts AIR’s carefully constructed world, led by a ruthless IT commissioner, Aditya Narayan, who takes AIR’s safe box—an archive of damning evidence—into custody. Inside the police and corporate tangle, a mole named Rishi in the IT department reveals that the real safe is hidden in the IT headquarters, with access cards that can unlock it. The revelation intensifies AIR’s malicious drive and leads him to enlist Nimasi Baba/Santhanam [Raghu Babu] to obtain the access card through a kidnapping plot.

Meanwhile, Janaki learns that Kittu’s money-seeking was not for romance or a noble cause, but a desperate bid to pay off debt. She calls him to a park for a confrontation, and in the ensuing chaos, Kittu’s crew kidnaps a dog that unexpectedly turns out to be Janaki’s own pet. Bhadra, AIR’s ally, intervenes and magnifies the crisis by demanding the IT access card and a hefty sum. The miscommunication triggers a cascade of shocks: Aditya Narayan, the IT chief, is thrust into a bind. In a tense exchange, Kittu insists on a ransom, and Aditya Narayan, believing the abduction to be a straightforward case, hands over ₹1 crore and the access card, only to realize a grievous mix-up that leaves him suffering a heart attack and hospitalized.

A police SI takes charge of the case and corners Kittu and his friends in a forest, intent on finishing them off. But when a sudden brake renders the gun useless, the gang escapes. They decide to rally to Janaki’s aid, stealing Nimasi Baba/Santhanam’s car and revealing more about AIR’s blackmailing world. They recover the access card and, in a tense clash with Bhadra, unravel the deeper web of connections. A fierce shootout erupts at AIR’s hideout as the gang fights to save Janaki and secure the safe.

As events unfold, Kittu learns of the broader conspiracy and the true stakes behind the ransom and deception. Janaki reveals the truth about the fake money— Aditya Narayan had discovered Kittu’s genuine feelings and decided to test him, a test that ends with a realization and a fragile reconciliation. The police close in, but the tide turns when Janaki steps forward to expose AIR’s manipulations, forcing him to reframe his threats. AIR finally finds himself outmatched and exposed, and Kittu’s group counters with a bold, decisive move: pepper spray and a pack of dogs are unleashed, driving AIR back to a corner.

In the aftermath, Kittu leads AIR to a makeshift courtroom of consequences in a mental asylum, where he coerces AIR into pretending to be mentally ill as punishment for the dog bites and the damage he caused. The following day, in a park, Kittu and Janaki meet again. What begins as a kiss without consent leads to a playful chase, a moment of mischief that hints at a complicated path forward. The story settles into a tense but hopeful equilibrium where trust, love, and a hard-won sense of justice begin to redefine their future.

Notes on the players: the core pair at the center of the tale—Kittu [Raj Tarun] and Janaki [Anu Emmanuel]—navigate a web of debt, deception, and moral choices, while AIR [Arbaaz Khan] embodies a different brand of power, one that uses leverage and fear to bend others to his will. Nimasi Baba/Santhanam [Raghu Babu] lurks in the shadows as a council of someone who knows how to maneuver through danger, and the police, led by the SI, are never far from the collecting thunder of consequences. The film weaves a brisk, high-stakes ride that stays grounded in its characters’ desires and flaws, delivering a narrative that is as much about consequences and forgiveness as it is about schemes and escapes.
