In the pulsating heart of Mumbai, a city of dreams, we meet Army Captain Jagdish - a man of duty with an indomitable spirit. Returning home for a much-needed family rendezvous, his visit is twofold; a chance to relish the warmth of his kin and to begrudgingly bow to their wish of his impending nuptials. The bride-to-be is Nisha, a woman who initially clashes with Jagdish's personality but gradually blossoms into his love interest, adding a tender touch to the otherwise hard-edged narrative. However, the tranquil domesticity of Jagdish's life is shattered when a bomb explosion tears through a city bus. Unwilling to stand idle in the face of terror, the intelligence officer within Jagdish awakens. Striding through the chaotic streets of Mumbai with a steely resolve, he embarks on a relentless manhunt to track down those responsible. The ordinary man shrouds his military prowess beneath the facade of an everyday citizen, his sharp intellect working in tandem with his formidable strength to dismantle the city's lurking terrorist sleeper cells. What begins as a mission soon escalates into a war when the mastermind behind the terror plots surfaces in Mumbai, hell-bent on eliminating Jagdish. The film's narrative spirals into an adrenaline-fueled game of cat and mouse, pitting Jagdish's cunning strategy and unyielding courage against an enemy who threatens the city he loves. "Thuppakki" is an exhilarating ride which seamlessly blends the sweetness of familial bonds and romance with the electrifying suspense of covert operations. What lies ahead for Jagdish?
