## Plot

Vishwa (Vinod Veera), a carefree youngster, falls in love at first sight with his neighbor Kamala (Diya), who lives with the police officer Adhisaya Raj (Charan Raj) while Vignesh (Neeraj) protects their house. Vishwa then secretly sneaks into her house and starts to woo Kamala when she is alone at home. One day, Vishwa approaches Kamala and asks for her approval, but she refuses to accept his love and tells him that she is already married to Adhisaya Raj.
In the past, Kamala was a bharatanatyam dancer who lived with her widower father (Manikka Vinayagam) and was constantly stalked by young men. Sick of the situation, one day, she complained to the police, and the police inspector Adhisaya Raj took severe action against the stalkers. Adhisaya Raj, who fell under the spell of Kamala, compelled her to marry him, but she refused. Adhisaya Raj became very aggressive and possessive towards her. One day, Adhisaya Raj forcefully took Kamala with him and forced her to live with him in his house. Every day, he tortured her to marry him and he sequestered her father in a godown.
Upon hearing the truth, Vishwa decides to free her from the virtual prison. Kamala asks him to kill Adhisaya Raj and find her father. When Vishwa finally sees Adhisaya Raj's photo, he refuses to kill him and tells her that Adhisaya Raj once saved his life after a bike accident. Thereafter, Adhisaya Raj finds about Kamala and Vishwa's love and puts the innocent Vishwa behind police lockup. Later, Vishwa gets released from jail and frees Kamala from his house. Vishwa and Kamala blackmail Adhisaya Raj by phone: Vishwa agrees to set her free if Kamala's father signs a document. Vishwa with Kamala and Adhisaya Raj with Kamala's father meet up in a remote place for the exchange. Adhisaya Raj cheats them, and his henchmen surrounded Vishwa. They beat up Vishwa, put him in a coffin, and bury him alive. An angry Vishwa comes back to the house and beats up Adhisaya Raj. During the fight, Vignesh, who was Vishwa's college enemy, shoots Adhisaya Raj dead to save Vishwa. The film ends as Vishwa and Kamala embrace.

## Reception

Behindwoods.com rated the film 0.5 out of 5 stars and wrote, "If the storyline is not good enough to tire you, director Kalimuthu has made sure that there are other aspects to do the job. Like the unreasonable and illogical villainy of a cop (Saranraj), the cliché-ridden love story between Diya and Veera, and the sleazy camera angels that capture Diya's fleshy buxomness". A reviewer said, "Our simple request to Director Kalimuthu is that you made a great attempt, but lost the track with perplexity between emotional quotient and glamour".
