The film was scheduled to be released in theatres on 8 September 2022. The film received mixed reviews from critics and audience with praise for Arya’s performance, soundtrack, background score, cinematography, concept and some casting, but criticism for its story, screenplay, VFX and direction. Vetriselvan, an Indian Army Captain is an orphan who is raised in the army school. His only family is his teammates which comprises Karuna, Sheikh, Rekha and Karthi Devan. The team is famous for its unity and covert missions. After gaining consciousness, Vetri discovers that Karthi is trying to shoot himself and sees all of his team members unconscious.

When Vetri tells Karthi not to shoot himself, he shoots him in the shoulder and dies. This incident becomes a black mark on Vetri’s character since he refuses to blame Karthi and takes the sole blame for the failed operation. They communicate with each other by emitting bio radio signals with the help of spiders. Keerthi, with the help of Vikram, a rich spoilt brat who is funding Keerthi establishes a lab just near Sector-42 to study the happenings of Minotaurs and their threat. Since Vetri’s team was the last one which visits Sector-42, they are chosen by Dr.

The Minotaur almost destroys the lab and kills a soldier who became berserk after coming into contact with the Minotaur. Realizing that Minotaurs attack in open spaces and emit bio radio signals through spiders, the next day the team along with Keerthi travel in an army tank. Since there are multiple Minotaurs, Vetri and Keerthi deduce that a huge Minotaur is present and emitting signals to the smaller Minotaurs. The team are shocked that Vetri said that they didn’t find the location of the huge Minotaur, but he says that they actually know it and do not remember because of the Minotaur attack. Vetri reveals that they had found the place of the huge Minotaur which is situated in a water body near the old factory. In their first Mission at Sector-42, Karthi actually saved all of his teammates’ lives including Vetri’s from Minotaurs but couldn’t save his own since he was in close contact with them. The team then proceeds to kill the huge Minotaur without Keerthi.

During the search at the factory, Vetri finds a mobile phone in which a scientist recorded vlogs of all the happenings in the factory. Vetri is then attacked by the huge Minotaur through which he learns about the Minotaur’s next generation was actually being safeguarded. Vetri somehow kills the huge Minotaur after almost drowning to death and finishes the operation. Although the Minotaurs are killed, Keerthi and Vikram’s motive is foiled by Vetri and General Bala when they lie about not killing the Minotaur. Since Sector-42 is a dangerous area, the army orders it to completely shut it with civilian activity prohibited.
