Plot

The film begins in a small village in Tirunelveli district where a few upper-caste men hold a chariot festival. Antony Daas (Jayam Ravi), along with his friends, pulls the chariot in to their slum. The friends naturally incur the wrath of a local leader named Annachi (Shanmugarajan). Meanwhile, his daughter Rajeshwari (Renuka Menon) falls in love with Daas. Her sister Punitha (Monica) elopes to marry a lower-caste boy named Guna (Abhinay), who is a classmate of Daas. Coming to know about this, Annachi sends his men to bump off Punitha and Guna. He eventually sets them ablaze in front of Daas. An angry Rajeshwari, in order to teach her father a lesson, elopes with Daas and vows to get married. The couple then seeks refuge in Nasser's (Krishna) house in Madurai. He promises to get them married. However, coming to know about their hideout, Annachi's men reach Madurai to foil their plans. Nasser's father Vappa (Salim Ghouse) promises to get them united. Enters Nasser's brother Anwar (Adithya Menon), who plans to let loose terror in the Madurai town in the name of Jehad. How Daas emerges triumphant from all the troubles and marries Rajeshwari forms the rest of the story.

Release

The film took an even bigger opening than his previous ones and was declared a hit as well.[5] He garnered positive remarks from critics, with Sify's reviewer claiming that Ravi was a "hundred percent convincing as an action hero," further labelling his performance as "impressive."[6]

gollark: It's exotically spelled, so yes.

gollark: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pangram

gollark: Well, in that case, it's this sort of thing: > The only perfect pangrams of the English alphabet that are known either use abbreviations, such as "Mr Jock, TV quiz PhD, bags few lynx", Roman numerals such as “Fjord Nymphs XV beg a quick waltz”, or use words so obscure that the phrase is hard to understand, such as "Cwm fjord bank glyphs vext quiz"

gollark: I suppose if you're disallowing abbreviations there are some shorter ones which work, at least.

gollark: It's pretty useful that "btw I use Arch" doesn't contain any repeated letters.
