Retired police officer Muthuvel Pandian and his family reside in Kodambakkam. Muthuvel’s son, ACP Arjun, is conducting an investigation on Varman, a peculiar mobster who operates out of Arakkonam and smuggles god idols to customers abroad.
Arjun approaches Varman’s goon Seenu and asks him to tell Arjun where Varman is. Arjun abruptly vanishes as he approaches Varman’s location, leading the police agency to speculate that he may have murdered himself in order to hide the fact that Varman most likely killed him.
Suffering over the loss of his son and partially holding himself responsible for instilling in him a sense of integrity and bravery, Muthuvel pursues Seenu and kills him, disposing of the body with the assistance of a nearby cab driver named Vimal.
Varman’s men make an attempt to kill Muthuvel’s grandson, Rithvik, even though Muthuvel persuades Varman to abandon him and his family. Furious, Muthuvel makes the decision to strike revenge and goes to Mandya to see Narasimha, a former criminal who lends him four of his sharpshooters.
Muthuvel blackmails and humiliates Varman with the aid of Narasimha’s men. After that, Varman sends people to assassinate Muthuvel and his family at home, but they are gunned down. Muthuvel is a Bihari criminal. When Kamdev learns that Muthuvel is Varman’s intended victim.
He tells him that Muthuvel was formerly known as “Tiger” Muthuvel Pandian, a cunning and flamboyant jailer at Tihar prison. In addition to punishing the offenders severely, he assisted them in changing their ways and amassed a vast network of supporters, among them Kamdev.
Varman is cornered by Muthuvel at his base, but he tells him that Arjun is still alive and makes a death threat. They eventually come to an agreement whereby Varman will free Arjun in exchange for a well-known ancient crown that is kept safe in a temple in Mangalagiri, Andhra Pradesh.
