Plot

A sequence of murder takes place in the city and a cop (K S Ravikumar) steps in to investigate them. Meanwhile, Shiva (Kanal Kannan) comes out of a mental asylum. It is concluded that a lunatic is behind all these murders. Shiva manages to enter the house of a film director (Livingston). His wife (Bharathi) is all alone. She suspects him to be the mentally-challenged man on murder trail. Meanwhile, the police zeroes in on a psychiatrist doctor (Kushboo) to be responsible for the murder. In the court, she spills the beans that a young girl who had a disturbed childhood was indeed responsible for the deaths, which then you see scenes of her being molested by child molesters [police officer, her first adoptive father]. Shiva eventually comes to know that it was none other than the film director's wife. What the noble-hearted Shiva does to bring her back to normal life forms the rest.

The Hindu wrote "The script lacks cohesion and many questions remain unanswered. Every main character has a past and the director’s bid to weave them into the story results in utter confusion."^[4]
