==Plot==
SR (Senthamarai) is a leading criminal lawyer who tastes only success in all his cases and has the ability to twist the court proceedings in his favour. In one such case, he joins hands with a few baddies and tactfully frames an innocent Thyagarajan (Jaishankar) in a murder case and gets death penalty for him. Thyagarajan's wife Srividya along with her children (a son and a daughter) pleads with SR but in vain. Thyagarajan is hanged to death and Srividya goes missing while everyone assumes her to be dead as well. Srividya's children are adopted by a good natured lawyer and raises them as his own kids. Years later, the son grows up to be Rajkumar (T. Rajendar), a leading advocate.

Meanwhile there is Madhu (Prithviraj), a spoilt brat and is the only son of SR. He also happens to be the classmate of Rajkumar's sister. Rajkumar handles a critical case where an innocent doctor Subhadra (Kutty Padmini) was framed for a murder by SR's associates and wins the case leading to her release which angers SR. Subhadra's husband, Dr. Ravi (Nizhalgal Ravi) thanks Rajkumar and they become good friends. With the help of Ravi, Rajkumar finds that his mother is not dead and she is leading a life in a psychiatric hospital. Knowing this, Rajkumar feels happy and takes his mother with him. Madhu comes up with a plan to make Rajkumar's sister fall for him and later ditch her as a means of revenge against Rajkumar.

Rajkumar's sister falls in love with Madhu and decides to elope with him. However, another classmate Vanitha, who was already ditched by Madhu comes for rescue and saves Rajkumar's sister. Angered by this, Madhu kills Vanitha. Madhu is framed for this murder and Rajkumar appears against SR in this case in which Madhu is proved to be guilty. The court issues death sentence to Madhu. SR plans to kill Rajkumar and his mother, however Srividya shoots SR following which he dies outside the court premises.
