Pazhanivel ([[Bharath (actor)|Bharath]]) gets released from jail after 15 years and accidentally saves Jeevanandham ([[Biju Menon]]) from a few goons, following which he gets appointed as Jeevanandham's car driver. Karpagambal ([[Khushbu Sundar]]) is Jeevanandham's wife and also Pazhani's sister, which he comes to know later.

The movie received mixed to negative reviews. behindwoods.com gave 2.5/5 saying "Pazhani is not for an audience looking for something offbeat and inventive but for an audience craving for some old formulaic entertainment – loads of action thrown in with mother- sister sentiment" The movie has too many Silent Mass scenes, which kept the audience at the edge of their seats.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-reviews/reviews-1/pazhani-review.html | title=Pazhani movie review from behindwoods.com | accessdate=11 February 2012}}</ref> The film was an average at the box office.

As Karapagambal was unaware of the reason behind the murder, she developed a hatred towards Pazhani right from childhood. Knowing the truth, Karpagambal understands Pazhani and she tells him not to come to her husband's house and see her again.

However, Jeevanandham has other plans now. He decides to divorce Karpagambal and marry Durga legally. Pazhani challenges Jeevanandham and tries all means to save Karpagambal.
