Ramakrishna aka Rakhi | Ramakrishna, aka Rakhi, aspires to become a railway stationmaster like his father. His love interest and close friend, Tripura, is a reporter on a TV channel who exposes atrocities against women in society. For Rakhi, his sister Gayathri is everything. She is married to a software professional who plans to go to the USA. However, his uncle brought a proposal where he would get 1 crore as a dowry. At first, they try to get rid of her by fighting with Rakhi and demanding more dowry, but when Gayathri overhears them, they burn her alive. Devastated by this, as she was also pregnant, Rakhi's family tried to sue them in court, but a corrupt lawyer, a policeman, and a doctor fabricated that Gayathri was mentally disturbed and had committed suicide. Rakhi was unable to accept this. Tripura calls Rakhi's father and grandfather for the second hearing of the case. | ||
In a graveyard, Rakhi is still in shock, and looking at Gayathri's ashes, he [[Hallucination|hallucinates]] and sees Gayathri screaming near him and burnt to death, eventually seeing that every girl like Gayathri is tortured, killed, molested, and burnt, and they also call him "brother". In a rage, he burns her in-laws and all those people who fabricated things about her in front of the court in the same way Gayathri's in-laws burnt her alive. He researches the atrocities on the women at Tripura's office. Tripura is shocked to see him, as he had murdered the perpetrators of Gayathri, including the corrupt lawyer, doctor, and police officer. He then explains to her that every woman is harassed, killed, and tortured like Gayathri, even molested, and the world is filled with these wretched men who think that a woman is vulnerable, also showing an information paper. His grandfather tells him to forget everything that has happened, but his father understands everything and tells him to continue punishing the sadistic men, also stopping him from worrying about his family. | |||
Rakhi starts a manhunt for all sex offenders, sex traffickers, and perverted men and burns them alive while dropping a rakhi at every site. A police officer named Meenakshi Iyer is leading the hunt for him, and the entire police force is in a dilemma as the public women all consider Rakhi to be a god, and all men are staying away from women as they do not want to be killed. Meenakshi states that Rakhi is either a terrorist, a factionist, a naxalite, or a member of the dacoits who wants publicity for doing these, and she will arrest him within 24 hours. | |||
Along with Tripura, Rakhi explains his story to the people, including Meenakshi and her team. He also explains why he is doing this and what will happen after these incidents. Meenakshi even arrests Tripura for recording Rakhi live on the TV program. Tripura is ashamed that Meenakshi is trying to arrest a man who is stopping the sex offenders/misogynists as an act for the people, especially the women. Eventually, the police keep a reward of 10 lakhs for nabbing Rakhi. Rakhi goes to meet his father, grandfather, aunt, and cousin Gowri. He explains that he is not the previous Rakhi anymore. | |||
Rakhi eventually surrenders to Meenakshi and goes to jail, but Meenakshi asks him why he surrendered, and he smiles at her. It leads her to research Rakhi's next victim. It is revealed that he did so to kill a love-crazed man, Madhukar, who killed Gayathri's friend, Srilatha, because of repeatedly refusing his proposal. | |||
Meenakshi talks to Rakhi after being verbally abused and kicked by the state minister, whose son was also killed by Rakhi, and she realizes that what Rakhi is doing is correct, as the law is protecting all those men from death after abusing women, even sharing her feelings with him. Enraged, Rakhi also kills the minister after he places a bomb outside Rakhi's jail that kills many women who came forward to Rakhi to tie rakhis on his wrist, including Gowri. Rakhi goes to court, and upon the judge seeing that Rakhi did justice to the country, resigns from his post and announces that he will be Rakhi's lawyer and get him acquitted. The film ends with Rakhi motivating all the women outside the court to support him. | |||

Plot
Ramakrishna, aka Rakhi, aspires to become a railway stationmaster like his father. His love interest and close friend, Tripura, is a reporter on a TV channel who exposes atrocities against women in society. For Rakhi, his sister Gayathri is everything. She is married to a software professional who plans to go to the USA. However, his uncle brought a proposal where he would get 1 crore as a dowry.

Devastated by this, as she was also pregnant, Rakhi's family tried to sue them in court, but a corrupt lawyer, a policeman, and a doctor fabricated that Gayathri was mentally disturbed and had committed suicide. Rakhi was unable to accept this. Tripura calls Rakhi's father and grandfather for the second hearing of the case.
In a graveyard, Rakhi is still in shock, and looking at Gayathri's ashes, he hallucinates and sees Gayathri screaming near him and burnt to death, eventually seeing that every girl like Gayathri is tortured, killed, molested, and burnt, and they also call him "brother".

He then explains to her that every woman is harassed, killed, and tortured like Gayathri, even molested, and the world is filled with these wretched men who think that a woman is vulnerable, also showing an information paper. His grandfather tells him to forget everything that has happened, but his father understands everything and tells him to continue punishing the sadistic men, also stopping him from worrying about his family.
