Plot

The film is dealing with student strength. Shivaraj (Vijay), a college student, is leading a happy-go-lucky life, having a nice time with his friends, until two of his friends fall in love with each other. Facing stiff opposition from the girl's father, all the friends get together and get the couple married. Unfortunately, the married girl is gang-raped in the college campus by Madhan (Kalyan), the son of a ruthless politician Desingan (Mansoor Ali Khan). Unable to get justice in court, Shiva, along with his friends, now takes it upon himself to avenge his friend's death but pays a very heavy price. His mother is killed by Desingan, and they lose at court. Shiva is determined to get justice in his own way. He kills Madhan and Desingan and is sentenced to a normal jail punishment for six months for killing a corrupt advocate Mani Iyengar (Manivannan) and refusing Judge Ganapathi's (Jai Ganesh) words. After his release, he reunites with his ladylove Sneha (Swapna Pedi) by the help of her father Aavudaiyappan (Vijayakumar), who is the new police officer of Chennai.
