Plot

Ajay is a young man without a job whose temper frequently leads him into problems. When he sees someone breaking the law, he becomes furious and takes matters into his own hands, beating the offender before offering them unwanted advise. Padmanabhan, Ajay’s father, is an insurance firm employee and is not satisfied with his son’s attitude. He attempts to change Ajay’s behavior by getting a meditation expert to help, but the expert says that Ajay’s suffering is understandable.

Through his father, Ajay meets Sonia Sriram, who instantly falls in love with him. Sonia enjoys Ajay’s quick wit and rage when he comes across something that is illegal. With Padmanabhan’s assistance, Sonia manages to win Ajay over. Even so, Ajay initially rejects her since he is uninterested in her; but, after experiencing some strange circumstances, he subsequently changes his mind and they fall in love.

Sriram, Sonia’s father, is an industrialist and the owner of the Chennai-based DCM-Daewoo car factory. His daughter’s connection with Ajay is acceptable to him, but he has one requirement: Ajay needs to work in his factory, learn to manage his anger, and refrain from fighting for three months—even if he witnesses a crime being committed. Ajay won’t be permitted to wed Sonia if he is unable to accomplish this.

Ajay accepts the terms with sadness in his heart; Sonia grows more in love with Ajay; and Sriram extends an employment offer to Ajay in his factory. In reality, Sriram faces difficulties in his factory in a loss; ten of his employees are employed by his younger and rival stepbrother, Gnaneswar, and they impede the factory’s advancement by causing frequent, prearranged accidents. Property loss for the factory results from this.

The son of Sriram’s stepmother, Gnaneswar, loses his portion of his father’s business empire after being tricked by Sriram. In addition, under peculiar circumstances, Gnaneswar serves a few years in prison before returning with a plot to assassinate his stepbrother, Sriram.

Gnaneswar’s ten men wreak havoc at the factory, killing elderly workers and infuriating the new ones, all in an attempt to drive Sriram out of business. Thus, these ten men treat Ajay in the same way when he starts working at Sriram’s factory.

Remaining composed, Ajay tries to honor his pledge to Sriram. However, Sriram has different plans; he wants Ajay to renege on the agreement, beat the 10 men, and kick them out of the workplace. Simultaneously, Sriram wishes that Ajay and Sonia’s impending marriage will be called off since

He does not want his daughter to wed a vengeful street fighter like Ajay. Sriram so never stops thinking that Ajay would finally open up. To get the foreign Korean experts to look at the issue, Gnaneswar’s soldiers destroy a crucial machine.

The intention is to kill the Korean experts in order to turn the situation into a global problem and force Sriram’s company to close down. However, Ajay intervenes to save the experts, and Sriram uses this as fodder to set up a brawl between Ajay and Gnaneswar’s men.

However, Ajay manages to remain composed even after they beat him severely, dashigning Sriram’s hopes. In order to give the impression that Ajay’s father was the one who informed the media about the problem at the factory, Sriram uses his father’s name as the final trigger. For this, those 10 guys mercilessly kill Ajay’s father, just as Sriram had predicted.

Following this, Ajay loses his temper, betrays his word, and kicks the ten guys out of the factory. However, Gnaneswar kidnaps Ajay and threatens Sonia with death unless she blows herself up by bombing Sriram’s workshop with a truck loaded with potent Russian explosives. The scene culminates with Gnaneswar killing Sriram by throwing him from the aircraft, Gnaneswar dying when his chopper crashes into the mountains, and Sonia emerging unscathed and joining Ajay.
