Vishnu's boss asks him to tap the phone calls of a few senior officers and politicians to track their illegal activities. Vishnu learns that the politician's wives and other woman, including Anagha are having an affair with Harsha, who is a sociopath and cybercriminal, who seduces woman to fall for him and blackmails them for money.

It is revealed that Vishnu was involved in the dealings, in order to construct a hospital for the poor. Harsha leaks the call of DGP in order to get Vishnu into trouble. However, Vishnu is instead congratulated by his boss for publicly removing the DGP from competing. When the scandal escalates, The higher-ups in the department decide to frame Vishnu as the scapegoat to save their name.

The seasoned artiste brings in his experience to craft a near-perfect suspense thriller. It's hard to find faults in the film as it shines in all departments".[12] Madiri of Bangalore Mirror gave 4 out of 5 stars and wrote "Ramesh Aravind has balanced direction and playing the lead role well."[13] Sunayana Suresh of The Times of India gave 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "100 has a pertinent message that deals with how social media has taken over most lives. This can be a good choice for a family movie outing for this weekend".[7]
