The story of watchman unfolds in a day's time - the protagonist (GV Prakash), who is struggling to settle the borrowed amount from a loan shark, is in love with a girl (Samyuktha Hegde). Her parents pay a sudden visit to his home and decide on an engagement date. A few hours later, he enters a bungalow to steal money. Unexpectedly, a dog comes as a big obstacle in his way. But little does he know that it is seeking help from him to save its master, who is being chased by a few dreaded terrorists.
The plot offers great scope for a gripping action thriller. But the screenplay seems rushed and ends up as a half-baked attempt. GV Prakash and Suman are apt in their roles, but the others do not have much to do.
The biggest plus of the movie, apart from its technical aspects, is its duration. The cinematography and music help certain sequences stand out and bring in the required mood. The performance of the dog is another highlight, and the action scenes are decent. However, the lack of depth in characters make the entire series of events unappealing as viewers hardly get time to empathise with them. The logic also goes for a toss in many scenes.
