==Plot==
The film begins with Arivazhagan ([[Shirish Saravanan|Shirish]]) and his friend Kumar ([[Sendrayan]]) locking up and torturing an unknown man and a camera filming the whole incident.

The movie then turns to a flashback, where Arivu narrates how happy he and his family were. Arivu is a writer for a press and the eldest son of a retired police head constable (A. L. Raja) and his wife (Thulasi). He has a brother named Mathiyazhagan (Sathya), who is a first-year engineering student. Arivu's middle-class family life is however happy with his friend Kumar mingling as one of the family. The problem begins when Mathi, who is pressured by his girlfriend (Sai Priyanka Ruth) to get an expensive bike, persuades his family to get him a bike. Though hesitant at first, they agree to get him a bike of his choice. However, a delay in getting his bike and seeing his classmate Ganesh (Nishanth) spending casually makes him curious to know what he does for money. This is when he is introduced to the heinous crime of chain snatching. Ganesh introduces Mathi to Guna ([[Bobby Simha]]) who is heading a gang of young college-going chain snatchers. Mathi joins the gang and starts to earn through chain snatching and get all the things he wants. <ref>{{cite web |url= http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movie-reviews/Metro/movie-review/52912411.cms |title= Metro India Time |work= Times of India}}</ref>

The plot turns when Mathi decides to do these crimes alone without having to give Guna any commission. Though hesitant at first, the others join him when two of the boys get caught by police and Guna does not come to their aid. Mathi goes back to his house to get a chain recently snatched by him, only to find his mother with the chain and all the other gadgets he owns without his parents' knowledge. An argument begins, and Mathi pushes his mother to death. When Arivu and his father come home to realize their mother's death, Kumar vows to avenge the loss even when Arivu joins in.

During a police investigation, Arivu and Kumar track down a house breaker and nab him to an unknown location coming back to the first scene. Arivu calls up the police to hand over the criminal and runs away with the bag. He takes the bag with 23 kilograms of stolen gold chains to a black market buyer. At that place, he finds his mother's chain, which leads him to the chain snatchers. He leaves the place not before killing all the men in there. In the meanwhile, Mathi injects Guna with a drug that makes him insane and loses his senses. Arivu goes to Guna's place and finds out the next plan of the snatchers. He goes with Kumar to the place, and a fight ensues where Arivu and Kumar manage to kill three of the four men. Mathi, unbeknownst that the two men are his brother and friend, removes his helmet and reveals his face. Arivu, in shock and despair, removes his helmet too, all the while surprising Mathi. When Mathi pleads with his brother to spare him, Arivu ignores and kills him. The film ends Arivu and Kumar revealing all the truths to Arivu's father and surrendering to the police.
