Plot

The film starts with Gautami visiting a village and remembering the past as the film takes us to a flashback. The village would have been a victim to a local don named Baasha whose atrocities go unchecked even by the police. Most of the policemen would either accept bribes or get killed by him. Palanisamy's family relocates to this village. He questions the riots happening in the village and develops enmity with Baasha. How Palanisamy saves the village from Baasha and his boss forms the rest of the story. In the end, Sathyaraj kills Purushothaman and dies while hoisting a flag.
