Plot

Tamizh (Vijay) is a ruthless, fearless hit man in the Chennai underworld. He climbs the mafia ladder much to the dislike of other members in the gang. But he maintains his principles, namely, never to harm women or children. He falls in love with Shruthi (Asin Thottumkal), an aerobics instructor. But a corrupt police officer L. Govindan also covets Shruthi. Tamizh defends her honour at various points in the film. Although she loves him, Shruti is scared of her lover's violent streak.

After a series of gang wars, the master mind of all crimes, international don Ali Bhai (Prakash Raj) lands up in Chennai from Dubai and appoints Tamizh as the new head of the gang in that region. However, Ali Bhai is soon arrested and also released subsequently when his henchmen kidnap the honest City Police Commissioner’s (Napolean) daughter and exploit her. All this culminates in a rivetting climax where Tamizh is revealed to be none other than IPS officer Satyamoorthy, who had infiltrated the mafia undercover to rid the city of all its criminal elements. He becomes a one-man army who takes on Ali Bhai and his entire gang proceeding the murders of his father and foster brother, while rooting out the corrupt elements of the police force.
