This is the story of Professor Vijay, who gets caught in the middle of a gangster's business operation, who in turn uses his influence to kill the Professor's mother and rape his sister. With nowhere left to go, the Professor takes law into his own hands and goes on a revenge killing spree. The Professor is suspected of unexplainable murders happening in the city by a detective, Singaram. Finally, the Professor executes all those who were involved in the brutal rape and murder, including the racket leader.

Detective Singaram understands the Professor's situation and helps him get released when convicted of murder. The Detective convinces the Judge by putting him in a situation similar to that of the Professor's. In that circumstance, the Judge realizes that whatever the Professor did was correct and human. Professor Vijay is freed eventually by the Judicial System and allowed to walk free.

This is the story of a righteous kill in a revenge-related plot. This shares similar plots with the Hollywood film Death Wish and the Hindi film, Aaj Ki Awaaz (which again is a remake of Death Wish for the Indian audience).

An acceptable ending with over-the-top action scenes. Seven out of ten rating.

Tamil cinema is known for its powerful storytelling, technical finesse, and emotionally resonant narratives. Its larger-than-life stars enjoy immense popularity, often shaping public discourse and influencing cultural identity. The industry blends mass appeal with meaningful social themes, making it deeply rooted in life in Tamil Nadu.

The action genre features fast-paced, thrilling, and intense sequences of physical feats, combat, and excitement. The characters of these stories are involved in daring and often dangerous situations, requiring them to rely on their physical prowess, skills, and quick thinking to overcome challenges and adversaries.

The crime genre features criminal activities, investigations, law enforcement, crimes, and the pursuit of justice. Crime stories often revolve around the planning, execution, and consequences of criminal acts, as well as the efforts to solve and prevent such acts. They explore various aspects of criminal behavior, motives, and the moral dilemmas faced by both perpetrators and those seeking to uphold the law.
