==Plot==

For Kodiarasu ([[Dhanush]]), politics have been part of his life ever since his birth in [[Pollachi]]. His father Murugan ([[Karunas]]), a low-rung Democratic party worker, brings him up to become a politician before self-immolating as a protest against a factory whose toxic [[mercury (element)|mercury]] waste had ruined lives in the locality. Kodi's twin brother Anbarasu ([[Dhanush]]) is the complete opposite of him – an Engineering college professor and not political at all. Kodi grows up with the party and his friend Bhagat ([[Kaali Venkat]]). He falls in love with Rudra ([[Trisha (actress)|Trisha]]) who, like Kodi, has been with politics all her life but runs for the opposing Republican party currently in power.

While fighting members of the opposition on the street one day, Kodi breaks a trolley of eggs that Malathi ([[Anupama Parameswaran]]) is trying to sell to a shopkeeper. She chases after him to no avail, before leaving for an appointment at a college cafeteria where she has an interview for a contract to sell eggs. She comes across Anbu, mistaking him for Kodi, before finding out about his twin brother. Anbu and Malathi fall in love. Later on, Malathi tells him about how the factories near her village dump all of their mercury waste where people live, impacting the lives of the villagers negatively. Anbu is worried, and tells Kodi.

Meanwhile, Rudra is frustrated about being stereotyped as lower down in her party because she is a woman. She overhears that Arivazhagan ([[Namo Narayana]]), the State Education Minister from the [[Coimbatore]] district, is actually a dropout and falsified his elections nominations. She tips this information off to the Democratic party, who file a suit against the Minister. The Minister loses the case and is disqualified from his position, and the by-elections are announced for the [[Pollachi]] constituency. Rudra befriends the ex-minister, becomes the interim District Secretary, and then kicks him off.

The Democratic party are excited for the by-elections despite the Republicans winning for the last twenty-five years. Kodi meets his Party Supremo ([[S. A. Chandrasekhar]]), who tells him that they would talk about the opposition's scandal but after the by-elections. Meanwhile, Anbu gives Kodi documents about the mercury waste, who then finds out that his ex-minister and party senior Marimuthu ([[G. Marimuthu]]), and the entire Democratic party, is responsible for what happened to the villagers affected by the factory, as they were the ruling party at the time. Feeling betrayed, he shares this with Rudra in confidence, who brings it up at her next public speech. Enraged and embarrassed, the Democratic leader plots to keep Kodi silent by announcing him as their by-election candidate – now running right against Rudra. When the Republican party finds out about Kodi and Rudra's relationship, they start pressuring her to give up her candidacy. A depressed Rudra asks Kodi to meet her in the woods to talk, and she tells him about the ex-minister standing in her way to success before she eliminated him. They get ambushed by goons that Arivazhagan sent to kill Rudra. Rudra suddenly stabs Kodi, apologises, and tells him that he was her last obstacle. Kodi is betrayed again but decides to die for her, and the by-elections are cancelled as a candidate is gone.

Rudra meets Kodi's family after the funeral and tells them that her party is willing to give Kodi's brother Anbu the [[Member of the Legislative Assembly (India)|MLA]] position. Their mother ([[Saranya Ponvannan]]) declines it angrily, but Anbu accepts it and wins the by-election unopposed. Rudra is made the official District Secretary and an [[Member of parliament|MP]] of Rajya Sabha. Anbu comes to congratulate her, his look and body language now completely changed to match his brother's, much to Rudra's dismay. Anbu lets her know that he is very invested in his brother's murder as well as the mercury waste issue.

Kotraivel (Rajasimman), a member of the Democratic party, finds a forest camera hidden in the woods that recorded Rudra killing Kodi. He threatens Rudra with this, and tells her to fix the mercury waste issue. Rudra uses Crime Branch Inspector V. Ravichandran ([[Anil Murali]]) as a pawn to destroy the evidence and kill Kotraivel, but is still afraid of Anbu finding out about everything as he was taking the documents about the factory to court anyway. In an attempt to stop him, Rudra kidnaps his mother and Bhagat, and tells Anbu to come to the factory. Anbu and Rudra's goons fight Kotraivel and Marimuthu, resulting in Anbu winning. He came to the factory with the intention to kill Rudra, but his mother tells him that it is not worth it and to let her go. As they leave, Bhagat stabs her and tells her that she never deserved Kodi.
