The film opens on Jai standing alone at an archery range, bow taut, eyes fixed on the distant target. His coach paces behind him, frowning at each release and telling Jai that his practice sessions lack consistency; the coach insists Jai must find why his performance falters before the 2025 Archery World Cup. Jai leaves the range brooding, then meets Chitra, an entrepreneur who has been his constant support and friend. Chitra presses him to confront a deep wound that has shadowed him since childhood: the disappearance of his elder sister Snehalata. She asks him to face the truth about his past so he can move forward.

Jai returns home and remembers the night twenty years earlier when Snehalata, who loves a man against her father's wishes, plans to elope. The young Jai is entrusted with carrying a letter to their father informing him of the promise Snehalata made to her lover. Before Jai can act, his father discovers the letter. Furious that Snehalata intends to marry outside the family's approval, their father hastily arranges her marriage to another man. After the wedding, word reaches Snehalata that her lover has killed himself for her refusal; enraged by the betrayal and grief, she severs ties with her family and disappears. These memories haunt Jai; he and Chitra begin tracing her movements.

Their search takes them to Hyderabad, where Jai and Chitra locate Snehalata under a new name: Jhansi Kiranmayi. She has reinvented herself as an upright IAS officer who refuses to sign off on falsified reports concerning a chemical factory explosion in Vizag. Jhansi refuses to tolerate corruption; she insists on delivering justice to the victims and weathers threats from a powerful industrialist, Agarwal. Agarwal, a corrupt magnate with a pronounced phonophobia--he cannot bear sounds above twenty decibels--wields a private army and manipulates officials to silence dissent. Jhansi's refusal to cooperate places her and her extended family in immediate danger.

While Jai and Chitra decide to protect Jhansi and her family, a tribal festival called Pagadalamma Jatara draws them into the remote Ambaragodugu forest region near the Andhra–Chhattisgarh border. The festival arrives once every twelve years and the forest is lawless, populated by ruthless dacoits. Jhansi attends the Jatara with her family for darshan. Agarwal dispatches his men to the region; in the night he orchestrates a violent assault on Jhansi's party as part of a plan to eliminate her and anyone supporting her. Hunters, bounty hunters and Agarwal's thugs swarm the festival surroundings and attack the group.

Jai reaches the location and reunites with Jhansi amid the chaos. As attackers close in, Jai assumes responsibility for defending Jhansi and her family; he shoulders the task of keeping them alive through the onslaught. He uses his archery training to pick off assailants from distance, then moves into close quarters when required. Chitra coordinates logistics, attempts to contact authorities, and comforts the frightened relatives. The family's route out of the forest leads them toward a treacherous passage; Ratna, an emergency call center operator for an NGO, answers Jai's calls for help and tries to direct them through the forest, telling Jai to seek assistance from a woman named Gutti, a ferocious local who accepts jobs for coin.

Gutti finds the group and at first offers to ferry them to safety, but she intends to betray them for the reward Agarwal has posted. Francis, Agarwal's subordinate, has been making repeated attempts to kill Jhansi and her relatives. To incentivize the villagers, Agarwal raises a bounty of one crore rupees for the capture or killing of Jhansi's family. Gutti takes the group toward a den where she intends to hand them to Agarwal's men. On the route Murugan, the leader of the local dacoits, intercepts them; he damages Gutti's vehicle and tries to slaughter the group.

During one violent encounter, one of Jhansi's sisters-in-law goes into labor. The party descends into panic as attackers close in. Jai fights off Murugan's men, dragging the woman to a safer spot while Jhansi, Chitra and Jai's companions assist. Chitra instructs Ratna on the phone in how to help deliver the baby by voice guidance; Ratna counsels each step and Jhansi helps perform the delivery. The woman gives birth to a baby girl amid the forest's chaos; the family names the infant Chamundeswari at Ratna's suggestion. Jai watches the newborn and the family's relief briefly steadies him.

Gutti, worried that Ratna may expose her betrayal, strikes a deal with Francis: if Gutti leads them to Jhansi's camp and helps kill them, she will receive a reward and be spared. Gutti moves to betray and lures Jhansi's party into a den. Chitra senses the trap and engages Gutti. The two women collide in a fierce hand-to-hand struggle; Gutti lunges with a knife, Chitra parries and counters, then forces Gutti down. In the close struggle Chitra manages to kill Gutti, choking her and breaking her neck in the melee, but Chitra sustains deep wounds from Gutti's blade during the fight. Blood on her hands and breath coming in ragged gasps, Chitra tells Jai that her life's purpose has been fulfilled by protecting him. She dies in Jai's arms, her voice failing, and Jai cradles her as her life ebbs.

Grief and urgency drive the survivors to bury Chitra under a banyan tree near their route. Jai and Jhansi's family press on toward the forest's exit. Ratna's call center comes under attack from Francis's men; they lay siege to her office and destroy equipment in an attempt to sever Jai's lifeline. Ratna fights back inside the wreckage and kills the attackers who assault the call center, dispatching each of Francis's men who try to stop her; she arms herself with whatever she can find and moves through the office in close-quarters combat, eliminating the intruders. After she clears the center, Ratna leaves to meet Jai and the group in person to guide them through the final leg.

The only viable escape route lies across a scarcely used bridge that spans a lake; it is the one passage out of Ambaragodugu. As they near the bridge, Francis plots a final violent ambush: he rigs the bridge and surrounding area with landmines and laying in wait to strike as the family crosses. Police forces wait beyond the bridge to provide security as agreed, but Agarwal's men aim to massacre the group before they reach help. Murugan appears again, mounting for a decisive kill.

Jai scouts the bridge and spots the landmines and Francis's positions. He takes a stand on higher ground and uses his bow to disable explosives remotely and to target the men laying them. In the ensuing confrontation Francis fires and triggers blasts; the bridge shakes and parts of the deck erupt into flame and smoke. Jai aims precisely, looses an arrow that strikes Francis's chest, the arrow piercing vitals and killing him instantly. The blast of the mines and Francis's fall throw the attackers into disarray, and Jai seizes the moment to drag the family across the remaining intact section of the bridge. Murugan readies to shoot one of the fleeing members as they near the police, but Ratna steps from cover and drives a blade into Murugan's back, stabbing him through the heart; he collapses and dies. Ratna turns away and chooses not to accompany the group farther, instead retracing her steps to the destroyed call center.

The police take custody of Jhansi and her family and provide basic treatment for Jhansi, who bears stab wounds inflicted by Francis before his death. Despite her injuries, Jhansi refuses to be delayed; she vows to file her report in the Collectorate of Vizag at nine o'clock the next morning. The Commissioner warns that Vizag has been effectively hijacked by Agarwal's private army and that local politicians have shackled the police, preventing interference. Jai gathers a handful of officers willing to act and moves with them to Agarwal's mansion to secure the documents and protect Jhansi in person.

Agarwal has set up a soundproof enclosure at his home; he meets Jai from within a soundproofed box so he can declare plan after plan without hearing the world he despises. When Jai barges into Agarwal's compound, he maneuvers to break the industrialist's shield. Jai disarms Agarwal's guard and captures the magnate, dragging him out of his soundproof cocoon in front of the victims of the Vizag factory blast who Agarwal had silenced. The sudden exposure to noise triggers Agarwal's phonophobia violently; he clutches his head as the sound levels rise beyond his tolerance. The pressure bursts inside his ears; Agarwal collapses, his eardrums rupturing from the shock, and he dies on the spot. Jai holds the industrialist as his life leaves him.

With Agarwal dead and his private army exposed, Jhansi files her report in the Collectorate in full view of the press and the victims; government agents move to seize Agarwal's properties and assets. Justice proceeds against the corrupt industrialist's network. The Commissioner, witnesses, and survivors note that Jai has been the key protector in the confrontation; Jhansi calls him a god-sent brother in their reunion. Jai visits Chitra's grave at the banyan tree, performs the last rites at her headstone, placing soil and lighting a lamp as required; he speaks of his debt to her and then turns to Ratna. He tells Ratna that he loves her and the two embrace, holding one another amid the ruins of the forest battle and the battered call center.

Meanwhile, in a different thread of events unfolding in a college town, Subramanyam--known to family and friends as Subbu or Subhash--lives as the youngest son in a traditional household where his father Viswanadh runs a bustling café. Subbu is careless and flirtatious; he spends afternoons idling with friends, chasing girls and failing exams. He expresses contempt for his parents, particularly Viswanadh, and shirks responsibility. His elder brother, Chakri, stands in stark contrast: disciplined, respectful, and an accomplished kickboxer representing their college. Chakri trains daily for the inter-college kickboxing championship, practicing footwork, conditioning and sparring relentlessly. The family admires Chakri and pins their pride on his athletic discipline.

At a college gym, Chakri spars with Rohit, a cocky opponent from Model College. Rohit teases Chakri for his modest background and delivers a humiliating defeat that leaves Chakri shaken. Rohit carries the attitude of privilege; he dates Lovely, a stylish Model College student, and taunts Chakri's origin in front of others. Subbu watches these dynamics with a mixture of jealousy and resentment.

Subbu meets Lovely and, in an attempt to impress her, fabricates a story that he studies at an elite engineering institute and comes from wealth. Lovely, flattered by his apparent status, begins to reciprocate his attention. Subbu continues the deception, presenting himself in expensive clothes and pretending to belong to the Model College crowd. The lie grows until Lovely learns the truth: Subbu is the son of a café owner and has been disguising his reality. She confronts him publicly at a gathering, exposes his falsehood to Viswanadh and Chakri, and humiliates him. Lovely breaks up with Subbu in front of his family and insults him with cutting words that leave Viswanadh distraught at his son's behavior and the shame it brings to the household.

Viswanadh reacts angrily to the public disgrace. He tells Subbu that such deception and disrespect cannot continue under his roof and banishes his son; Viswanadh throws Subbu out of the family home, leaving him to fend for himself on the streets. Homeless and humbled, Subbu spends nights alone, reflecting on the smash of his lies and the depth of his previous contempt. Jaanu, Subbu's neighbor whose name is Janaki, watches him with quiet concern; she has harbored a slow, committed affection for him but has never forced the issue. When Subbu finds himself at his lowest, Jaanu tends to him, brings him food, and supports him as he faces the consequences of his behavior.

As Subbu begins to understand the hurt he has caused, he resolves to change. He seeks training and mentors himself in discipline, pledging to prove he can be worthy of his family and of Jaanu's love. He works long hours, builds stamina and learns kickboxing techniques similar to Chakri's--jab, cross, roundhouse, clinch defense--and he practices under a coach who pushes him physically and mentally. During this period, Chakri continues to prepare for the championship, but Rohit escalates his aggression. In a brutal nighttime ambush Rohit and his cronies attack Chakri on the road; they beat him savagely and leave him with severe head and body injuries. Chakri is hospitalized, his jaw fractured and ribs broken; he lies in a hospital bed as doctors work to stabilize him.

News of Chakri's injury ignites anger in Subbu. He vows to avenge his brother's beating and to restore the family's honor. Subbu intensifies training; he disciplines his diet, lifts weights, runs sprints until his lungs burn and practices sparring rounds until his shoulders bruise. He studies Rohit's style, times and tendencies, and he builds a regimen calibrated to exploit Rohit's arrogance. Subbu receives encouragement from Jaanu, who tends his wounds, tapes his hands and stitches up lacerations after hard training. With each session he grows stronger and more focused.

The inter-college kickboxing championship arrives with a bustle of color and competition. Chakri, still recovering in the hospital, watches from a distance as Subbu registers and steps onto the mat for the elimination rounds. Subbu fights through preliminary bouts, taking on opponents with a blend of raw power and improved technique--executing feints, counterhooks and a decisive roundhouse that knocks down an opponent from Model College. He advances to the final, where Rohit awaits, glowering and surrounded by Model College supporters. Rohit taunts Chakri from the sidelines and mocks Subbu's background, trying to unsettle him.

When the final bell sounds for the championship bout, Subbu and Rohit engage in a fiercely contested fight. Rohit opens with a flurry, aiming for body shots to sap Subbu's endurance. Subbu absorbs the blows, counters with well-timed jabs and lands a punishing left hook that staggers Rohit. Rohit retaliates with a knee and a clinch trying to use his height and strength advantage, but Subbu maneuvers, slips a strike, and executes a clean spinning back kick that connects with Rohit's ribs, forcing him to drop his guard. In the final seconds, Subbu unleashes a sequence--a feint, a low kick to destabilize, then a high cross--that floors Rohit. The referee counts out Rohit, and the judges raise Subbu's hand as the inter-college champion.

Subbu collapses to his knees, panting; he dedicates the victory to Chakri and to his father. He returns home with the championship trophy and a face showing bruises earned honestly in the ring. Viswanadh stands at the doorway; he watches his son enter, trophy in hand, and the two men share a long look before Viswanadh embraces Subbu. The family reconciles: Viswanadh forgives his son for past contempt, Chakri congratulates him from his hospital bed with a weak, proud smile, and Subbu kneels before Jaanu, finally acknowledging the constancy of her love. He tells Jaanu that he will not hide or pretend anymore. Jaanu accepts him; the two embrace as family members applaud.

Back in Vizag, the official report Jhansi files triggers state action. The government moves to take over Agarwal's factories and properties; criminal cases proceed against his men. Survivors of the factory blast receive the documentation Jhansi fought to secure. Jai attends the formal hearings, stands by the victims as they testify and gives an account of the events at Ambaragodugu. He returns to the banyan tree to perform a final ritual of remembrance at Chitra's grave, placing flowers and reciting the last rites once more. Ratna stands beside him; he tells her that he loves her and she takes his hand. The film closes with Jai and Ratna embracing gently, Subbu reunited with his family and holding Jaanu's hands, and Jhansi cleared to continue her public service. Victims whose lives were imperiled now have administrative redress, Agarwal's empire collapses, and those who died in the forest--Gutti, Chitra, Francis and Murugan--rest as memories of the violent encounters that unfolded to protect truth and family.

The ending of the 2025 movie "Thammudu" cannot be detailed at this time as specific plot details beyond its general premise are not available. However, the film is about a brother who protects his sister from various challenges, exploring sibling bonding and overcoming misunderstandings.

Given the lack of detailed information on the movie's ending, I will provide a hypothetical narrative based on the premise, followed by a potential expanded version of how such a story might unfold.

Hypothetical Short Narrative

The movie concludes with the brother successfully safeguarding his sister, overcoming misunderstandings and strengthening their bond. Through his actions, he shows unwavering commitment to his family, resolving the challenges they faced.

Expanded Narrative (Hypothetical)

Imagine the story unfolding as follows, though this is not based on actual plot details:

Opening Scenes

The film opens with a heartwarming scene of a brother and sister sharing a close moment, highlighting their deep affection for each other. The brother, played by Nithiin, is shown to be fiercely protective, always ready to defend his sister from any harm.

The Challenge Emerges

As the story progresses, the sister faces a series of challenges that test her resolve and safety. These could range from bullying at school to more serious threats from outside their community. The brother, determined to protect her, takes matters into his own hands.

Confronting Misunderstandings

Throughout the film, misunderstandings arise between the siblings due to miscommunications or external influences. However, these are gradually resolved as they work together to overcome the challenges. The brother's unwavering support helps his sister build confidence and resilience.

Climactic Moments

The climax of the film involves a dramatic confrontation where the brother confronts the main antagonist posing a threat to his sister. This could be a physical confrontation or a moment of emotional truth, where he stands up for his sister's rights or well-being.

Resolution

In the final scenes, the brother successfully protects his sister, and they share a poignant moment of relief and love. The film concludes with a strong message about the power of sibling relationships and the importance of standing by one another in times of need.

Without specific details, this narrative is speculative. The actual ending of "Thammudu" (2025) remains to be seen upon its release.

The 2025 Telugu film Thammudu does not have a post-credits scene. The story concludes with the resolution of the main conflict, justice for the victims, and the emotional closure of the characters, with no additional scenes shown after the credits begin.

Jay is the estranged brother of Jhansi, who is a government officer. He embarks on a mission to find her and protect her from danger, ultimately trying to reveal his true identity to her and save her from threats posed by a corrupt factory owner.

Jhansi is investigating a hazardous factory blast caused by a corrupt owner, Azarwal, who tries to silence her by confining her in a remote, lawless village called Ambar Godugu until she agrees to sign a false report favoring his company.

Ambar Godugu is a remote tribal village on the Andhra–Chhattisgarh border with no government presence, described as lawless. It serves as the place where Jhansi and her family are hunted down, creating a tense and dangerous environment that drives the action and suspense.

Chitra is Jay's friend who suggests he find his sister and helps him during the mission. Ratna is an emergency contact in the forest who is part of the story's unfolding events, though her character is noted as poorly written and somewhat absurd.

The entire story of Thammudu unfolds over a single night, which adds to the film's gripping narrative filled with emotion and action.

The movie "Thammudu" (2025) is not family-friendly and has received an 'A' (adult) certificate from the censor board, indicating it is intended for adult audiences only. This rating was a conscious choice by the filmmakers to retain intense action sequences and mature content.

Potentially objectionable or upsetting aspects for children or sensitive viewers include:

• Heavy and intense action scenes with violence.
• Threats involving knives and captivity, including scenes where people, including children, are threatened with murder by villains.
• Themes involving family abuse and emotional trauma.
• The film contains strong emotional and dramatic elements that may be intense for younger viewers.

Given these elements, "Thammudu" is unsuitable for children and sensitive audiences due to its violent content and mature themes.

In the 2025 Telugu film Thammudu, there is no mention or indication that a dog dies. The plot centers on Jai and his family facing threats and survival challenges in a tribal forest, but no dog death is referenced in the detailed plot summaries or reviews available.

The search results mentioning dogs dying or surviving pertain to a different 2025 horror movie titled Good Boy, not Thammudu. Therefore, for Thammudu (2025), the dog does not die.
