The court trial against Raghavudu begins and as the brutality of the murder earns criticism from the public and media, the Home Minister and KD’s superior DGP Nageshwar Rao order a police encounter due to political pressure. KD receives a mail from an anonymous source containing a link to a prank YouTube video and is notified that Raghuvudu was in Kakinada when Sanjana was killed.

KD and Varsha reach J

The 2024 film Saindhav is an example of how forced the plot twists in some movies have to be to keep the viewers interested. Such films have a target audience that likes to just sit back and be bombarded with mindless action and a little bit of sentimental drama, usually revolving around a father and his child. There is nothing inherently bad about this kind of chaotic storytelling, but it is just not my cup of tea. The story revolves around a man named Saindhav, who has to return to his roots of crime and violence so that his daughter can survive. Saindhav, written and directed by Sailesh Kolanu , is made to provide fast-paced but simplistic action with no real depth at all, which is something that has taken over cinema screens in recent times.

Vikram Rudraraju is a police officer in the Telangana CID, where he works in the Homicide Intervention Team HIT, and is a sharp person, who solves crucial cases with his ability to capture even the smallest of details, thus earning the trust of his senior Viswanath. He is in love with Neha, his colleague, and a forensic officer. Rohit is Vikram’s close friend and colleague, who accompanies him in most of his cases. Vikram is constantly in an argument with Abhilash, another officer, who crosses lines with Vikram. Vikram occasionally suffers from PTSD due to the traumatic incidents of his past and refuses to take pills as he believes it slows down his abilities.

The scene shifts to a girl named Preethi who is driving on the highway, she stops her car on the side of the road because it suffers a malfunction. Officer Ibrahim stops to help her, and she uses his phone to call her father because she forgot her phone at home. Ibrahim leaves. When her father comes to pick her up, he sees that she has gone missing and Ibrahim, who notices him, says that she got into a blue car and he thought it was his car. When Preethi’s parents reproach Ibrahim angrily, he remains firm and insults them. Being a good friend of Preethi’s parents, Viswanath decides to suspend Ibrahim because of how he acted and also because he does not believe Ibrahim. Vikram decides to take a six-month break to relieve his PTSD attacks.

After two months, Vikram gets a call that Neha goes missing. He decides to go back to Viswanath and asks for the file for Neha’s missing case, but he says Abhilash is dealing with the case, and thus he cannot give it to Vikram. Vikram decides to ask Shinde, who is Neha’s colleague, about the cases Neha had dealt with over the past three months. Vikram and Rohit connect Preethi’s and Neha’s missing cases and deduce that the same person is involved in both cases. Vikram decides to investigate, and he asks Srinivas for Preethi’s case, and he takes over the case. Meanwhile, Abhilash has suspicions that Vikram was the one who kidnapped Neha. Vikram decides to go to Preethi’s college, and he asks Ajay and Sandhya about what happened the previous night, and they say the same response about how they were at a pub. Vikram and Rohit ask both Preethi’s parents, and they say that her parents died in a car crash and she was living with them and Preethi’s neighbor Sheela about her. Vikram and Rohit start deducing the case, and they conclude that Sheela kidnapped Preethi after they see Sheela’s blue car and a note forged by Sheela indicating the whereabouts of Preethi’s corpse. Ibrahim then sees the car and says that Sheela was not the one who kidnapped Preethi. Vikram and his team dig up the body behind the house and find that it is unnoticeable and it has a few DNA samples on it. Vikram suspects Ajay because he said that Preethi was his girlfriend. While searching for the shreds of evidence Vikram gets a call from a stranger named Latha who is st
