with his friend and sidekick Ganesan. Siva's father Kalyanasundaram is a retired government employee who shows much care on Siva's elder brother Nagarajan, an honest government officer. Simmakkal Ravi is a notorious gangster who rules Madurai with an iron fist. Sethu is Siva's best friend who helps him woo Malar by beating up men who were harassing her. Later, Sethu learns that Ravi's chief henchman Bharani has been harassing his ex-lover Amudha. Sethu soon stabs Bharani and flees with Amudha from Madurai on Siva's advice. Meanwhile, Nagaraj confronts Ravi over the deaths of workers at his quarry, which is deeper than the legal limit, and shuts it down. An angered Ravi kills Nagaraj and stages his death as a road accident. At the hospital, a frightened Kalyanasundaram learns that Ravi killed Nagaraj and is threatened by Ravi's men to keep quiet about the incident. They also forge Kalyanasundaram's signature for a document stating that Nagarajan was

to meet his minister friend. When Siva prepares to attack, the hit squad attacks Ravi in the same spot. As Ravi fights back, Siva runs in to try and kill Ravi, but is seen masked by Bharani. Ravi kills all of the hit squad members and finds out about the person who hired them. Ravi forces the hit squad organizer to make his client arrive at the bus stand on the pretext of returning the money. Ravi and his gang wait at the bus stand to capture and kill the person. To retrieve his money, Kalyanasundaram arrives at the bus stand and is chased after by Ravi's gang. Kalyanasundaram falls unconscious due to the health problems until a masked Siva defeats Ravi's men and takes him to the hospital.

Siva learns that Ravi is at a meeting in a theatre, where he goes to the theatre bathroom to kill Ravi despite Ganesan's advice. However, Siva is evicted by one of Ravi's men and leaves his sickle in the stall. Bharani recognises Siva from their past encounters, while Ravi notices the sickle and chases after Siva. Siva escapes and meets Amudha, who tells him that Sethu is also killed by Ravi. After Siva told Sethu to leave, the cops under Ravi's payroll captured Sethu and handed him over to Ravi. Bharani killed Sethu right in front of Amudha. Enraged at Sethu"s death, Siva kills Bharani and Ravi's henchmen, where he finally confronts Ravi. Siva and Ravi have a tense and fierce combat, where Siva mortally wounds Ravi. Siva takes Ravi into a well and leaves him there to his death, telling him that he represents all the innocent people whom Ravi has killed. The news mentions about Ravi's partially-decomposed body being discovered after Siva gives an anonymous tip to the police. Siva secretly tells Kalyanasundaram about his role in all the events, where Kalyanasundaram embraces his son with joy and takes a walk with his grandson.
