Plot
The story is set in a suburb of Madurai. Suriyan and Chandran are twins. Suriyan, the elder of the two, is a soft-spoken guy who works at a local lending library and falls in love with Manimekalai, the daughter of Namasivayam, a local politician-don and MLA. Chandran, the younger one, works as a mortuary assistant in a local government hospital, and he is one of Namasivayam's men who are in charge of his election campaign. Chandran is romantically linked to a local girl named Tamizhselvi. Namasivayam learns of his daughter's love affair with Suriyan and orders his men to kill Suriyan. However, they accidentally attack Chandran, who escapes from them. Later, Chandran visits Manimekalai and requests that she forget his brother. Nevertheless, she plans to elope with Suriyan. They go away and wait for the bus. Once the bus arrives, Suryan approaches it, only to be struck by a knife to the head by Namasivayam's goons, who have learned about the plan and have come to kill Suriyan. They take Manimekalai and leave. Chandran is later shocked to learn that the dead body, which came into the mortuary for preparation for burial, is none other than his own brother. Enraged by this, he cycles to Namasivayam's house to kill him. But their gardener prevents him from doing anything brash. Chandran later goes to an out-of-town lodge where Namasivayam stays. His goons check Chandran thoroughly and let him go up to meet Namasivayam. He cries in front of Namasivayam, saying their political opponents have killed his brother, mistaken as him. Namasivayam pretends to call the police and a judge to sort things out. Chandran then leaves, and the next day, Manimekalai commits suicide by hanging herself from the ceiling fan in her bedroom. Namasivayam goes to the mortuary to pay respect to Suriyan's body. Once he is paying respect, the body, that was actually Chandran, gets up and kills Namasivayam and two of his goons, thereby avenging Suriyan's and Manimekalai's deaths. Tamizhselvi helps him to complete his revenge by closing the doors of the mortuary and not letting the other goons in. All the women who flocked to the scene hit the other goons and chase them away. Later, Chandran and Tamizhselvi are arrested by the police.
