	Mayaandi, a dreaded criminal, escapes from prison and guns down Rudhra's entire family. Rudhra learns the truth but the police can do nothing because Mayaandi returns to jail after the murder and has an alibi. She receives a letter her police officer father, sent before his death. He uncovered links between Mayaandi and several powerful prominent ~~people--including~~ police officers and politicians. Rudhra discovers a video cassette with the proof and gives it to the DSP only to discover he is part of the cabal. He attacks Rudhra and she kills him in self-defence. The police arrest her and the incorruptible DSP Lalitha investigates the case. The cabal again pursues Rudhra upon realizing that the video cassette they took from her was not the incriminating one. She doesn't know the location of the original cassette but shares the entire story with Lalitha. The two women collaborate when they realize the police department can't be trusted. They also bring in thief Madurai to help them uncover the conspiracy.		Mayaandi, a dreaded criminal, escapes from prison and guns down Rudhra's entire family.
