Surya ([[Arjun Sarja|Arjun]]), assisted by Baby ([[Laila Mehdin|Laila]]), is a conman whose services can be bought by anyone for the right price.

So they seek the help of Pasupathy ([[Shobaraj (actor)|Shobaraj]]), another dada in Madras. When Pasupathy is recruited by a goon from Calcutta to kidnap the Kancheepuram collector, Surya decides to foil his plan and save the collector.

==Critical reception==
*''Biz Hat'' wrote "There is nothing spectacular about music and cinematography either.Manoj Kumar had produced and directed the film. On what basis did he choose such a story?".<ref>http://movies.bizhat.com/review_jaisurya.php</ref>
*''Thiraipadam'' wrote "Movies with dual roles usually pick up the pace and become more interesting after the two characters meet. But the reverse happens in Jai Soorya. Things get ridiculous and the movie skids to a complete stop after the collector's flashback."<ref>http://www.thiraipadam.com/cgi-bin/movie_review.pl?id=362&user_name=bbalaji&review_lang=english&lang=english</ref>
*''Chennai Online'' wrote "The problem with the film is that the director doesn't seem to have quite made up his mind whether his narrative style should be a light-hearted one or serious. So it meanders somewhere between the two and ends in a confused amalgam of emotions, with neither the humour nor the intensity really touching one!".<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20050104011803/http://www.chennaionline.com/film/Moviereviews/12jaisurya.asp</ref>
