Genius
Vasudev Shastri (Utkarsh Sharma) is a topper yet charming man who comes into IIT where the second ranker, Nandini (Ishitha Chauhan), decides to make his life hell. But Vasu is smart and in love with her to be outmaneuvered. She constantly detests him, but Vasu outsmarts her every time. Besides being the friendly "genius" around campus, he secretly uses his hacking talent working part time for RAW (Research and Analysis Wing). The day before the final exam in IIT, Nandini reluctantly visits Vasudev to get help regarding a theorem. There, Vasudev admits to Nandini that he had been long in love with her. Hearing this, Nandini immediately hatches a cunning plan and gives Vasudev sleeping pills so that he is unable to attend the exam the next day. However, Vasudev outsmarts her this time as well and reaches the exam hall before her. Vasu doesn't at all seem angry with her and instead helps her with an unexpected glitch and walks away smiling after completing his paper. On the day of the results, Nandini learns that Vasudev had intentionally submitted a blank paper just to let her top. Seeing his dedication towards love, Nandini madly falls in love with him but doesn't reveal it and flies off to the US for her dream job. On the other hand, senior members of RAW, impressed by Vasudev's intelligence, try to convince him to join RAW. After learning that his parents were killed in communal riots planned by ISI of Pakistan, Vasu finally decides to join RAW to take revenge against ISI. Vasu was orphaned when his parents were killed in communal riots. He was found by a priest who raised him in a temple complex in Mathura. The life-positive Vasu is the one we see in flashback. In the present, Vasu dresses in all-black, is labeled incompetent by RAW, uses a walking stick and suffers from acute tinnitus and several injuries since his failed mission. This troubled, damaged Vasu is the one who survived multiple bullet wounds during a high-level mission. Special agent Vasu heads a division of RAW called TOCSI, which was tracking public enemy number one, simply referred to as MRS / Samar Khan (Nawazuddin Siddiqui). It is also shown that in the past Samar had offered Vasu to join him, since he predicted that Vasu (a genius) will never be accepted in a society of moderates. Vasu had first encountered MRS when NSA Chief Devraj called him to stop a hack on India's NSA's networks from MRS. Vasu plants a virus to render MRS ineffective at that time. Devraj then convinces Vasu to join NSA by telling him that his parents died in an attack by ISIS and in NSA he can stop further such attacks. Vasu proves that MRS is the head of ISIS in India and had orchestrated an arms robbery in a depot, by hiding it as a short circuit led fire. Devraj assigns him a high-power team to investigate further. The team gets to Porbandar where they have intel that an arms exchange will take place. But they soon find that it was a setup by MRS, who corners the whole team and shoots them down. Vasu luckily is not killed. MRS indicates that Vasu was betrayed. NSA Chief Devraj Mathur (Mithun Chakraborty) backs Vasu fully despite his injuries. Vasu has a severe ear injury and has to wear an earpiece otherwise he is rendered incapacitated due to acute Tinnitus. Devraj calls Nandini back to care for Vasu. Nandini had taken a break from her job to return to India and take care of Vasu. She takes Vasudev to her house in Puducherry, where her mother is pleasantly surprised to see Nandini (who had never valued personal relationships before her career) make huge sacrifices for Vasudev's welfare. Vasudev and Nandini spend some romantic moments, but their happiness is short lived as Vasudev starts having hallucinations about his failed mission. A confused Nandini tries to take Vasudev to the US for treatment. Vasudev refuses and narrates the tragic story of his failed mission to Nandini, after which he leaves to track MRS, the mastermind of ISI in India and the prime target of his failed mission. They go for a vacation where Vasu thinks he saw his ex-team member Rubina (Malti Chahar), who was supposed to have been killed in the last encounter with Samar. Vasu follows Rubina and finds that almost all his team members from the MRS mission are gathered and want to support him to complete the mission. Vasu starts by removing the NSA tracker in his body and returns to Porbandar. He neutralizes 3 ISIS sleeper cell members who had been tracking his every move. He then tracks down the NSA mole who is working for MRS and forces him to commit suicide. MRS invites Nandini to a party and then sets up bombs. He knows that Vasu will be protecting Nandini. So, now Vasu has to figure out a way to save Nandini and all the people in the party. Doing so, exposes Vasu and he is arrested by NSA agents, who have been looking for him ever since he removed the tracker from his body. Devraj figures that Vasu has been hallucinating that he was working with his dead team members to track MRS. Vasu is subjected to electric shocks. MRS tracks Vasu to the hospital and kidnaps Nandini. MRS reveals that he understood Vasu's plan to declare himself a mental patient, so that he could exit his NSA life and be with Nandini, but MRS won't allow that and takes Nandini with him. MRS goes to Mathura and creates a panic situation by tying bombs on Nandini. To track her down, Vasu deploys a large force, which takes away security from the rest of Mathura. Vasu realizes that the bomb on Nandini is fake and MRS has used the distraction to plant bombs all over Mathura. MRS demands that Vasu hits Devraj on the face with sandals in public, but Vasu refuses to insult the NSA on live TV and challenges MRS. He tracks down MRS and duels with him before he can activate the bombs. MRS is arrested and tries to blow himself up. It is revealed that before Vasu he was the genius who worked for the NSA, but Devraj sacked him one day after humiliating him, when MRS hacked the NSA servers. Since then, MRS had teamed with ISIS to humiliate India.
