A conflict is brewing between Mantri and Athanni, the protagonist and antagonist of this slapstick comedy, respectively. Mantri has lost his red underwear, while Athanni has suspiciously been found in possession of one.
As the squabble over the ownership of the undergarment begins, it leads to a cricket challenge between the two. What follows next is a hilarious, amusing ride marked by not only the antics of the many characters but also of the words and metaphors that constitute the narrative.
The writing and the voiceover of the same become the most notable aspects of the film, and it is here that its true triumph, as well as the entertainment quotient, lies, almost making one overlook the raw edges of production, primarily pertaining to dialogue dubbing. The cricket pitch turns into a battlefield, pronouncing the title of the film. Though it is the second part of a longer story, the current part works as a hilarious standalone piece and can be consumed thus.
