A commoner named Kumaran kidnaps the
Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Yogeeswaran, at a private
retirement home event in
Chennai. The news went viral, and everyone from the
local to the
central cabinet took the issue personally.
Home Minister Thillainayagam appoints Santhanapandian, the
Police Commissioner of
Tirunelveli, to rescue Yogeeswaran. Santhanapandian questions Bala, a minister's son discovered unconscious at the kidnapping scene. Bala informs Sanathanapandian that he and Kumaran had become friends when Kumaran saved him from a group of thugs, but they are shocked to see that both of them love the same girl, Priyadharshini. Bala also reveals that Kumaran willingly allowed him to pursue his relationship with Priyadharshini in exchange for arranging for Yogeeswaran to attend the retirement home event. Meanwhile, as Santhanapandian and his deputy,
ACP Arivazhagan, strive to get clues about Kumaran, Kumaran explains to Yogeeswaran his motive for kidnapping him. Kumaran was an orphan, but due to the efforts of an honest politician named Kumaraswamy, who had sponsored him, he got a good education and became a journalist with the
News7 TV channel. When he went to Kumaraswamy's house to thank him for contributing to his life, he discovered from a worker that he had gone missing for many days. On further investigation, he learned that Thillainayagam and his sons, Kishore and Prathap, buried Kumaraswamy alive. Thillainayagam had contested against Kumaraswamy in the last election and had defeated him by rigging the vote, forcing Kumaraswamy to file a case against him and demand a recount. When Kumaraswamy refused to withdraw the case against him, Thillainayagam and his sons buried him alive. Kumaran then filed a police case against Thillainayagam and asked Kumaraswamy's
intellectually disabled son, also named Kumaran, who was unaware of his father's murder, to give the statement to the
police inspector. However, the police inspector was Thillainayagam's aide and informed him about Kumaran. Thillainayagam's sons then took Kumaran on a bus and pushed him out en route. He was then run over by a lorry and died. He feels guilty that he is responsible for Kumaran's death. To avenge their deaths, Kumaran plotted with Priyadharshini and Bala to kidnap Yogeeswaran and expose Thillainayagam slowly through false media reports using Bala's incorrect answers during police interrogation. In the process, the police take Thillainayagam's sons into questioning. After being tortured, they eventually accept and expose Thillainayagam as Kumaraswamy's murderer, even giving them the location on Thillainayagam's lawn where they buried Kumaraswamy. They dig up the spot and discover the skeleton of Kumaraswamy. The police arrest Thillainayagam, and Kumaran releases Yogeeswaran. Kumaran also escapes from his hideout and poses as a journalist, while Yogeeswaran says he cannot identify the kidnapper. Even Sanathanapandian gives up on pursuing the kidnapper, as the latter had kidnapped Yogeeswaran with good intentions. ==Cast==
