One day, the textile shop owner Kishore peeps at Siva's neighbour in the change room of his shop, he then blackmails her and forces her to come at his home the same night. That night, Siva saves her and kills the shop owner. The police find out that the killer is Siva and Siva is now on the run. The police find Siva's parents in a remote village and they tell them everything.
 
In the past, Siva lived happily with his parents and his sister Nandhini. For her studies, Nandhini left her village and stayed in a hostel in the city. Her roommate and her boyfriend Kishore found Nandhini attractive and sold her to the pimp Swamy ([[Bala Singh]]). Siva came atto the hostel with gifts to celebrate her birthday, but he was disappointed that Nandhini wasn't there and left the place. Meanwhile, Nandhini was raped multiple times by various customers and Swamy decided to sell her to a politician. That night, in a car, Nandhini escaped from there half -naked and the customer was killed. Siva who was on the bus noticed her and Swamy and the car driver followed her but she ended up impaled on spikes. A heartbroken Siva incinerated her body that night. A vengeful Siva then killed the car driver (the pimp), her roommate (beauty parlorparlour owner) and Kishore.
 
Siva's next target is none other than Swamy who is now a corrupt politician. The police arrest Swamy for pimping but he is soon released by the court. Siva then kidnaps Swamy and takes him at the place where his sister was cremated. The film ends with Siva killing Swamy.

The poster had evoked protests and the film director M. S. Anbu received murders treats. Speaking about the controversy, the film director said, "The poster had my heroine striking a pose with the heroes in wedding costume. While some people praised me for the concept, some others from certain organisations felt offended. These people felt that a girl getting married to two people is against Tamil culture.
