The film opens with a [[gram panchayat|village panchayat]], the village head disowns his daughter Annapoorni ([[Seetha (actress)|Seetha]]) for marrying the illiterate labourer Shanmugam ([[Ahuti Prasad]]). After giving birth to her son, Annapoorni dies but not before getting a promise from her husband that he will make their son an educated and respected man.

Many years later, Shanmugam's son Sakthivel (Trivikram) is a bright student who obtains a master's degree with distinction. Shanmugam wants his son to become an [[Indian Police Service|IPS officer]]. Kavitha (Priyanjali), the daughter of the local rich landlord, falls in love with Sakthivel. Kavitha's father (Duraipandian), who wants his daughter to marry an IPS officer, asks Sakthivel to marry his daughter. First reluctant, Sakthivel accepts after the insistence of Shanmugam. Meanwhile, Kavitha's uncle Karuppusamy ([[Ramesh Kanna]]), a nothing-for-good, wants to marry Kavitha at any cost. Sakthivel and Kavitha get engaged, and Sakthivel then leaves the village to attend the IPS interview in [[Delhi]]. The day of the wedding, Sakthivel returns to the village and announces that he did not attend the interview. Kavitha's father then cancels the wedding and Karuppusamy humiliates Sakthivel and his father in front of the villagers.

Sakthivel explains to his father that he had to perform the last rites of his teacher (Gowthami Vembunathan) who took care of him when he was young. Therefore, he could not make it on time to attend the interview. Sakthivel promises his father and his lover that he will become an IPS officer and he gets a second chance to attend the interview. The day of the interview, Karuppusamy send goons to kill Sakthivel but Sakthivel manages to beat them all. Sakthivel returns to the village in a police uniform after passing the interview.

==Reception==
[[Sify]] described the film as "avoidable" and said, "It has clichéd scenes, melodrama, sweat and tears that you may have seen in so many village stories of the '80s. In the presentation, the film is outdated and totally predictable [..] There is nothing really to recommend in this film, even the music of Deva is a big letdown".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.sify.com/movies/vara-pogum-suryan-review-tamil-pclvJWajjbcaj.html|title=Review : Vara Pogum Suryan (2005)|date=2 June 2005|accessdate=2 September 2019|publisher=[[Sify]]}}</ref> A reviewer wrote, "Debutants Trivikram and Priyanjali are just ok. Ahudi Prasad, as the poor illiterate father has given a good performance" and added, "the movie lacks pace. Certain melodramatic scenes could have been avoided which would have made the film more presentable".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://movies.bizhat.com/review_varapogum_sooriyaney.php|title=Varapogum Sooriyaney Review|accessdate=2 September 2019|publisher=movies.bizhat.com}}</ref> Malini Mannath stated, "the whole set-up coupled with a storyline and a narrative style that would have suited the '60s more, rounding off into an unexciting adventure for the viewers".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.chennaionline.com/film/Moviereviews/2005/06vs.asp|title=Varapogum Sooriyaney|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20051130004931/http://www.chennaionline.com/film/Moviereviews/2005/06vs.asp|archive-date=30 November 2005|accessdate=2 September 2019|publisher=chennaionline.com}}</ref>
