Plot

Vellaichamy (S. A. Chandrasekhar) is a retired army professional who lives individually in Chennai and takes care of the children from the impoverished families of the neighborhood. With his brave act he saves a public bus taken hostage by the accomplices of a don who has been arrested for smuggling redstanders.

The old man gives refuge to Vijay (Pa. Vijay) a reporter in a prominent Tamil news channel and (Chandini Tamilarasan), as they have eloped as a couple. Meanwhile Vellaichamy crosses swords with the local don (Rajendran) by wrecking havoc to some of his criminal activities and a corrupt police officer (M. S. Bhaskar) who is loyal to the don.

The rest is how Vellaichamy with the help of Vijay takes on the dreadful don and uses the corrupt police officer for that.

Cast

Production

The project materialised in late 2015 with Kalaipuli S. Thanu offering young director, Vijaya Kiran, the opportunity to make his first film. Pa. Vijay, Chandini Tamilarasan and S. A. Chandrasekhar signed on to play the lead roles.[2] Chandrasekhar revealed he would portray a 70-year-old character in the film and would be a disciplinarian who works with Vijay, who appears as a journalist.[3] The film was launched in December 2015 at Prasad Labs and filming started thereafter, with the team releasing promotional stills in early 2016.[4] Prior to the release of the film, S. Thanu sold his rights to Cosmo Village, while 6Face Studios were announced as the sole producer.

Release

The film opened to mixed reviews from critics, with a reviewer from Indiaglitz.com adding it is "an uninspiring film saved to an extent by SAC's acting". Subsequently, the film did not perform well at the box office and took a poor opening in Chennai in its opening weekend.[5][6]

gollark: The sell shop, I mean.
gollark: @SolarFlame5 Yes, it is ridiculous.
gollark: Well, digital signing (ECDSA) fits more.
