Daya veers towards the right path after an emotional conversation with a rape victim’s sister. His life and his ambitions change for the better after this moment in the film. Until then, all he does is try to woo the lady he falls in love with at first sight or act as the unofficial thug in a uniform for a local gang. He has no qualms about torturing people, and it was this attribute of the character that resulted in Temper becoming a success. The more unapologetic Daya was in the first half, the more guilty he feels for his deeds in the second half.

Shanvi then asks Daya to save the girl who was originally intended to be the victim. This plot connected strongly with the audience in 2015.

Temper was directed by Puri Jagannadh and Prakash Raj played the role of the villain in the film. In Simmba, Sonu Sood plays the villain who has Bhalerao on a leash initially.
