Plot
In the mid-1980s, in Thriunelveli, the film opens with Arivudai Nambi being assassinated by his competitors, who worry that if he succeeds in politics, their own power would be jeopardized. Following the untimely death of her husband, Nambi’s wife ends her own life. In the end, Nambi’s father took good care of his grandson.
Many years later, when Nambi’s son Tamilarasan gets incarcerated after admitting to hitting someone on the road, he unintentionally finds himself entangled in the shadowy world of behind-the-scenes politics. He becomes the enemy of two political operatives who resemble gangsters, which puts him in the path of Karunakaran, a powerful politician with his own goals.
Because Tamilarasan reminds him of Nambi, whom he killed after plotting to kill him, the minister views Tamilarasan as an enemy. After Anjana unintentionally collided with Tamailarasan on his motorcycle, the two became amicable. With Tamilarasan’s political aspirations growing, so do the machinations and counter-machinations that keep him and his wife, Anjana, from living in harmony with their opponents. Tamilarasan, who aspires to become as successful in politics as his father, bravely confronts all of this in his game of one-upmanship.
