Plot
Kodiveeran (M. Sasikumar), is a hindu priest who protects his sister from bad guys. In his village in the Dindigul district, corruption and injustice often happens mostly by Adhigaaram, a factory owner, whose men chase and kill anyone who protests against Adhigaaram. Kodiveeran knows of Adhigaaram's tricks and always beats up his goons if they cause any trouble to the village. In the present day, Villangam Vellaikkaran (Pasupathy) is released from jail and comes to his village where his sister, Velu (Shamna Kasim) is filled with joy to meet him. Kodiveeran and Villangam were enemies as Villangam is a big criminal who brutally kills anyone for money. He gets money from fellow politicians or factory owners who are very wealthy. Adhigaaram has also married Velu so that Villangam can help him with any problems. Kodiveeran hears about Villangam's release from jail and threatens him if he kills or hurts anyone, then he will die. The rest of the story deals with how Kodiveeran saves his family from Villangam and Adhigaaram's goons.
