Plot
The story begins with the suicide of Madhu Priya, a young woman who ends her life following a serious argument with her boyfriend, Sameer, an ethical hacker. Around the same time, Vikrant, an IPS officer in his probationary period who opposes police encounters, is assigned to a case involving a series of robberies and murders on the outskirts of Hyderabad.
During the early stages of the investigation, Vikrant encounters Aarthi, a courageous and outspoken woman whose attitude leaves a strong impression on him. However, their next meeting reveals a very different Aarthi—silent and withdrawn. After taking charge as Assistant Commissioner of Police, Vikrant makes significant progress in solving the robbery case and recovers a cache of stolen jewellery. Among the items, he identifies a piece belonging to Aarthi, which prompts him to investigate a traumatic incident from her past.
As Vikrant begins connecting the threads, a disturbing truth starts to emerge. What initially appears to be a series of unrelated crimes slowly unravels into a complex web linking Madhu Priya, Aarthi, and her father. Small yet significant clues drive Vikrant closer to a hidden conspiracy with far-reaching consequences.
"The 100" is a suspense-driven thriller that explores themes of trauma, justice, and resilience. The title itself takes on deeper meaning as Vikrant's investigation reveals not just the truth behind individual tragedies, but a larger commentary on systemic silence and accountability.
