A young boy and a girl from two broken families, escaping domestic violence and inhuman treatment, meet on a fateful night and instantly form a bond promising to help each other. She, being the eldest, provides him with food, and he vows to protect her. He calls her Amma. The boy christens himself Tees Maar Khan (Aadi) after beating up thirty bad men who pass lewd comments at his Amma. For him, she comes first, and their love has no bounds. A lonely police constable adopts these two homeless kids, and they become one family. Amma aka Vasu (Poorna) gets married to Chakri (Sunil). Tees Maar Khan grows into a strong youngster, runs a gym and even does minor settlements in his area. En route to one such settlement, he notices Anaga (Payal Rajput) mimicking his dance moves, falls in love with her, and even joins her college to impress her. Parallelly, Gija (Thakur Anoop Singh), a gangster, controls the entire city and spares no one meddling in his business. But Ranga Rajan (Srikanth Iyengar), the home minister, has other plans and wants to eliminate him at any cost. How did everyone's paths cross? What are the challenges Tees Maar Khan had to face? How did he become a police officer? Did he triumph in the end?

The Times of India gave a rating of 2.5 out of 5 and wrote that "the film impresses with its stellar performances by the cast, good production values, decent cinematography and music, but what doesn't work in its favour are its mediocre screenplay and routine script. However, irrespective of its drawbacks".[9] 123Telugu also rated the film 2.5 out of 5, praised Aadi Saikumar's performance while criticized the story, execution of the screenplay and unnecessary songs.[10] Praising the performances of Aadi and Sunil, Mural Krishna Ch of Cinema Express wrote: "Tees Maar Khan largely entertains with twists on familiar tropes and impressive performances. The film may serve well for the audience who like watching high-voltage masala entertainers".[11]
