[8][9][10] Brahmaiah is a well behaved and mild mannered cop, who gets transferred to Mangaladevi, the coastal and cultural town of modern-day Mangalore, which is also infested with gang violence by the gangster duo, Shiva and Hari.

When the villagers opened the bag, they found a 12-year old Shiva with his neck cut and scars all over his body.

Growing into their adulthood, Shiva remains unsophisticated and a man of few words, while Hari becomes a suave power player and the most feared gangster in town.

Hari eventually joins hands with a senior gangster and businessman, Raviraj, just for the sake of his growth.

Eventually, a small problem emerges between Raviraj's brother-in-law and Hari, to which Shiva reacts violently.

Brahmaiah is aided by a police driver, who agrees to be a double agent for him as well as Hari-Shiva gangs.

Eventually, Hari has a hired hitman shoot and kill Shiva while he is playing cricket with his friends.

Thus the title refers to both Vishnu and Shiva, along with their mounts, while the narrator's character of Brahmaiyya represents Brahma of the divine Hindu Trinity.

The lyrics for the soundtracks "Chandrachooda" and "Sojugada Soojumallige" were adopted from Purandara Dasa's work and a popular folk song respectively - retaining the original titles.

The film also received praise from other prominent celebrities like Anurag Kashyap, Rana Daggubati, Ajay Rao, Nidhi Subbaiah, Ramya, Ram Gopal Varma, Sudeepa, Prashanth Neel and Shivarajkumar for the direction, story and technical aspects.
