Touch Chesi Chudu 2018

Karthikeya Ravi Teja is a successful businessman and the proud owner of Kartikeya Industries in Pondicherry. He treasures his family above all else, and that belief guides his every move. He lives a peaceful, orderly life until a local goon named Selvam starts repeatedly stealing his machinery. Frustrated by the police’s inaction, he boldly proclaims that he can resolve the case in two minutes. The city’s CI, amused by the audacity, grants him a day to take charge and deal with Selvam. Amidst the looming trouble, Karthikeya also finds himself drawn to a lively choreographer, Pushpa Raashii Khanna, whose presence brightens his days and adds a new layer to his otherwise disciplined routine.

One night, a student activist is murdered at a pub by the notorious gangster Irfan Lala. Karthikeya’s sister secretly witnesses the crime and informs him, pushing him to report it to the police. He is stunned to learn that Irfan was supposedly dead, but a later sighting confirms that Irfan is very much alive. This fuels his investigation and uncovers a hidden past that he must confront.

A flashback reveals Karthikeya’s former life as a fierce, duty-minded police officer in Hyderabad. He was known for his aggressive, relentless approach to crime, and his transfer from Kadapa only sharpened his edge. In a pivotal mission, he rescues the police commissioner’s kidnapped daughter, cementing his reputation as someone who would go to great lengths for justice.

The threat from Irfan Lala intensifies as Irfan and his father, Rauf Lala, plot to win a by-election and tighten their grip on the region. When Irfan attempts to disrupt the Chief Minister’s rally, Karthikeya orchestrates a counter-move that ensures the rally’s success and contributes to Irfan’s political downfall. Around this turbulent backdrop, Divya, who deeply loves Karthikeya, becomes engaged to him, but he breaks the engagement, choosing duty over personal happiness and leaving her heartbroken.

The conflict escalates when Irfan murders a student named Shalini during a party altercation. Shalini’s mother, a former teacher of Karthikeya, goes on a hunger strike demanding justice, prompting a compassionate yet resolute vow from Karthikeya to punish Irfan. A dramatic shootout follows, in which Karthikeya wounds Irfan but sustains injuries himself.

While recovering in the hospital, Karthikeya races to locate Irfan, but his father and the commissioner mislead him into thinking Irfan is dead, hoping to bring him closer to his family. This deception forces Karthikeya to rethink the balance between his demanding career and his personal life. Realizing the need for equilibrium, he eventually tracks down Irfan and takes him down in a composed, decisive confrontation. The shock of Irfan’s death hits Rauf Lala hard, and he dies of the surprise.

In the end, Karthikeya reunites with Pushpa and asks for her forgiveness. The couple embraces, signaling a renewed balance between duty and family, and a life where professional responsibilities and personal loyalties can coexist.
