Plot

The Tamil Nadu police are looking for professor Saamy (Rocky), a mad scientist who committed multiple terrorist attacks in Tamil Nadu. The inspector of Police Rathnam (Suryakanth), also an informer, informs each stage of the investigation to professor Saamy, thus Saamy managed to escape from the police each time. The commissioner of Police Sankar (Raviraj) who handles the case, calls in Anand (Mansoor Ali Khan) and Vijay (Ishaq Hussaini) to find and arrest Saamy. In the past, Anand and Vijay arrested Saamy but he was eventually released from jail thanks to his political influence. Saamy then kills Rathnam in his lab for an experiment, but the experiment went horribly wrong and Saamy dies on the spot.

The story shifts to a remote village where the villagers are mysteriously killed. Durga (Sangita) is a goddess believer and she is cherished by the villagers, she is the daughter of the village head Nattamai (Shanmugasundaram) and Lakshmi (Vadivukkarasi). The rich landlord Mirasu hates Nattamai, and he wants to become the village head at any cost. In the meantime, Amudha (Vichithra), a journalist from Chennai, comes to write an article about the village and the religious beliefs, thereafter she becomes friend with Durga.

David (Ragul) and Mumtaj (Bhavana) fall in love with each other, and only Durga knows about their love. Later, the young lovers are found dead in the forest by the villagers, and Mirasu blames Durga for killing them. Amudha stands by her side, she even promises to find the real culprit.

That night, Amudha is killed by a morbid creature in the forest. Anand and Vijay attempt to kill the creature but Vijay dies in the process and Anand ends up seriously wounded. To protect the village from the deadly creature, the villagers prepare a grand Puja. The creature then appears during the Puja and Durga destroys it with a trishula.

gollark: What if it makes, say, 100 transactions for 1 currency unit to get around that?
gollark: Basically payment is very hard.
gollark: You need the PIN and card, but I don't know if there's anything stopping it from displaying "please authorize a £10 transaction" then actually *making* a £100 one.
gollark: Real payment systems partly get around this by making the chip on the card itself do some cryptography, so it can't make payments without the card being physically there still, but I don't think there's actually anything other than trust, the law, and "security" through obscurity stopping a payment thing from deducting more money than it should?
gollark: Obviously that's not very good.
