A truly magical and spellbinding action movie, Satyam will surely have a hypnotic effect on everyone who watches it. Satyam, Puratchi Talapathy Vishal's latest flick casts him as a super-hero, a super human, a super cop out to change the world. The movie begins with a dedication to the entire Police force. This simple act shows the crew's involvement and responsibility in handling the theme. In addition to perfectly shaping his role as a hero who is so clear about his skills and reach, Vishal has also understood the potential of his co-stars and has helped them perform to their peak in the film. As a result, Satyam shines with the performances of the entire cast and the dedication of the crew.

Satyam (Vishal) is the Assistant Commissioner of police who takes charge in the city police station. Tough and straightforward, he is also a warm and caring son devoted to taking care of his physically-challenged mother. Just after he joins for duty, the department is given clear directions for some urgent shooting 'encounters' to eliminate some hard-core criminals. But AC Satyam upsets the police plans and saves those menacing rowdies from the police. When everyone is piqued by his behaviour, Satyam offers an explanation saying that the keepers of law are supposed to uphold it, not misuse it. The department is convinced by his logical explanation.

The next challenge for Satyam comes when the Chief Minister becomes unwell. This results in a severe tug-of-war within the party as to who will take his place. There are three party leaders in line for the top post. This results in a lot of political unrest and affects the law and order situation in the state. Satyam is called to handle this sudden unrest. Meanwhile, the problem takes a threatening shape when one of the power-hungry politicians (Kota Srinivasa Rao) chooses to appoint his goon Dilli to eliminate the other aspiring candidates. But things don't go as planned for the politician since these plans are derailed by Satyam.

Instead of Dilli, an unknown killer eliminates the politicians. Dilli and the minister panic; they realize that they lives are also at stake. The minister ropes in Satyam for his protection and for the investigation of the murders. Satyam digs through the maze and during the mission, he meets the killer face-to-face.

An ensuing flashback reveals the background of the killer as well as his connection with the super cop. What is the connection? How is he linked to Satyam's tormented past? Does the meeting revive any old confrontations? Do Satyam's usual stratagems work in toning down the killer's angst and goal? Who wins at last - Satyam, the principled cop or the merciless killer or the power-crazy bunch who is all set to clamber to the top? Watch the action extravaganza to know!
