Plot

Madurai (Selva) is a traffic police who dreams to become a police inspector and he lives with his mother Maragatham (Sujatha). One day, he clashes with Meenakshi (Ranjitha) the daughter of the corrupt home minister Ulaganathan (Captain Raju). Meenakshi uses her father's power to change Madurai's duty and Madurai becomes her house guard. Meenakshi spends her time to humiliate the poor Madurai. Kumarasamy (Vijayakumar), his brother Kulasekaran (Nassar) and his sister-in-law Gomathi (Sabitha Anand) run a free school for blind children in their property. The prime minister orders Ulaganathan to buy their property. But they refuse to sell it so Ulaganathan's henchmen kill Kumarasamy. In the meantime, Madurai and Meenakshi fall in love with each other. Ulaganathan gets to know their love and transfers Madurai at the local police station. Inspector Rudra (Pradeep Shakthi) and Ulaganathan decide to buy Kulasekaran's property by force and to send Madurai behinds the bars. What transpires next forms the rest of the story.

Controversy

A petition was filed against the film for negative portrayal of politicians; however the Supreme Court rejected the plea.[4]

gollark: What do you mean "optional polymorphic function"?
gollark: Unless you use `unsafe`, in which case you instantly die.
gollark: It's also so concurrent that it doesn't only run on your CPU, it runs on your GPU, and the CPUs and GPUs of everyone else's devices.
gollark: I write some projects in Rust, which is literally incapable of having bugs and uses negative amounts of RAM.
gollark: Before I try and make a somewhat insane workaround for this, does anyone know a way to recolor an SVG image in an HTML document?
