He opens the case again and connects the dots to solve the mystery behind Varun's 'missing' status. Eventually, all those traumatic police interrogations happen, again.
Planning Rambabu's strategical moves to save his family were engaging While watching these thrillers and cop dramas, we realize how a murder crime gets solved by cops (at least we think we do).
