The film stars newcomer Ganesh Prasad and Varshini, with newcomer Abhinay, newcomer Sangeetha, Prasad Raj, Siddique, [[R.

<br />
==Plot==<br />
The film begins with Shiva (Ganesh Prasad) being attacked by rowdies and getting admitted to the hospital in a serious condition.<br />
<br />
In the past, the college students Shiva and Ashok (Abhinay) are archenemies, but after the college election, they made peace and became good friends. Shiva and Saranya (Varshini) were in love, while Ashok and Swetha (Sangeetha) fell in love with each other. Ashok and Swetha secretly married at the registrar office with the help of Shiva and Saranya. Ashok and Swetha then stayed in a house owned by a kindhearted man ([[R. Sundarrajan]]). The local don Adhikesavan (Prasad Raj) wanted to grab their land and killed the innocent Ashok. Shiva and his friends complained to the police inspector and the local politician, but they did nothing because they worked for Adhikesavan. Shiva and his friends then protested against Adhikesavan in the street, and the police arrested them. The district collector Siddique (Siddique) decided to help them and asked them to provide evidence of Adhikesavan's criminal activities. Shiva then sabotaged all his business. Adhikesavan suspected his archenemy Kasi ([[Mahanadi Shankar]]) of doing so, and he brutally killed him in broad daylight. Meanwhile, Swetha gave birth to a baby boy. Adhikesavan found out about Shiva's plans, so he killed his friends, and Adhikesavan's henchmen attacked Shiva.<br />
<br />
Back to the present, Shiva takes revenge on Adhikesavan by beating his son Mahesh (Manikandan) in front of him until he becomes mentally ill.<br />
