The outgoing CM speaks like a petty politician, eerily asking his supporters not to immolate themselves for Rs. Varun is introduced as the one who has been leading his party's youth wing for years and there is no counter-question from the media. Why on earth is he not moved by major problems, especially when he is shown to be someone large-hearted enough to fund orphanages? Again, hackneyed ideas that have been done to death. The CM is moved by the death of a girl, by the impending floods, so on and so forth. 20,000 crores looks like a caricature straight out of an ETV serial. Suspects simply keep talking about their plans on phones and the CM doesn't even think of shadowing them until it's too late? For his advice, he just has a journo and nobody else? Round-tripping involving thousands of crores is narrated without any sense of edginess. It's almost as if she is attracted to him!

It's now up to Varun to prevent inimical forces from targeting him, his little sister, and his government. This is when an assassination bid is made on Vasudev, whose backstory is layered. As Vasudev gets convicted, he exhorts Varun to rise to the occasion and lead the state ably while staving off the enemies (among them a young woman dynast). Varun reluctantly takes up the post, only to discover that his party treats the lives of innocents like All-Out treats mosquitos.Ī senior journalist (played by Sathyaraj) has a soft corner for Varun.
